In a Galaxy far, far away

[Grainger@CUFC]

Well not really, just over the pond.

David Beckham going to Los Angeles Galaxy on about £120 million + 5 year deal.

Your views please.

Myself, I think it's a really bad move. If he was serious about getting back in the England squad, he'd come back to the Premiership or at least up his game in Spain.

P.S sorry if posted

no way will it happen.

No way will what happen?

He's going btw if that's what you mean

[summer]

yeah i've seen it on bbc sport but it just doesn't sound right.

[Grainger@CUFC]

True, but there you go. He's only going for the money. I mean £120 million in 5 years, that's just obscene.

It confirms his how pesimistic he is about getting back into the England squad. Any hope he did have has practically faded with this move. He said he wishes to promote 'soccer' in the US and he's got an academy 'soccer' school over there. He'll buy a mansion on the West Coast, have Tom Cruise & co visiting on a regular basis, BBQ parties and everything else that comes with moving to LA. The wages are sickening! Bound to pull in the crowds and promote the MLS to an extent but I hope it all...fails...miserably :badgrin:

Is that £425,000 a week?

Beckham is a celebrity with the added football extra.

KEEP HIM OUT THE ENGLAND SQUAD

Is that £425,000 a week?

About that, yes. Half a million a week...ridiculous. :rolleyes:
