scottcross   17 #4 Posted March 14, 2010 Best thing thats ever happened since sliced bread was invented.Most overated player the world has ever seen.Feel sorry for him really now he is out of work for a few months ,The flying chip (his wife ) will be getting him to do all the jobs round the house that she cant do.

Show me another player in england that has the same dead ball skills that beckham has? I would have taken him just for the free kicks and corners.  This is a big loss to england cos i guarantee whoever we take instead of him won't be as good.

This-is-it   10 #6 Posted March 15, 2010 (edited) so what Beckham is 34 years old well past it if you ask me options for right wing if fit 1 lennon 2 milner 3 swp 4 adam johnson 5 ashley young  Its time to look to the future Beckham has been a great player. never had great pace but a great dead ball specialist but its time to move on now. a blessing in disguise and time to give somone else a chance Edited March 15, 2010 by This-is-it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
missymoo73 Â Â 10 #7 Posted March 15, 2010 I have to say personally I don't feel as though its a great loss. Although I disagree with scottcross - not overated at all when he was at his peak he was awesome to watch. but sadly I feel as though he's passed that phase now. Although thinking about it who could we replace him with??? hmmmmm Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Paul2412 Â Â 10 #8 Posted March 15, 2010 I was watching the game against Chievo. He just seemed to pull up out of nowhere, couldn't walk on it, hopped off and then was stretched away. Didn't look good at all. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Bayern Blade   10 #9 Posted March 15, 2010 Best thing thats ever happened since sliced bread was invented.Most overated player the world has ever seen.Feel sorry for him really now he is out of work for a few months ,The flying chip (his wife ) will be getting him to do all the jobs round the house that she cant do.  I agree, a vastly overrated pretty boy that can take a decent free kick or cross but do bugger all else. I take no pleasure in a player getting injured but we are far better off without him in South Africa. We can't afford to take clapped out has beens on sympathetic grounds. He can't generally even get in the first 11 of a poor side like Milan these days. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
NoddyHolder   10 #10 Posted March 15, 2010 (edited) I spy a lot of jealousy,Beckham was never going to be a first choice and I think Capello will be more worried about Lennons condition but as someone to throw on in the last twenty minutes or so to change the style or give others a rest he is ideal,his experience would have been invaluable,as for the sniping about his pretty boy status etc ,think about it ,Beckham has,for a long time,any need to put himself through the rigours of playing football ever again ,unlike the over rated Chelsea and Man City players he plays because he enjoys the game Edited March 15, 2010 by NoddyHolder Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Rioja   10 #11 Posted March 15, 2010 With a minute to go of injury time and a free kick 20 yards out who would people rather have on the pitch? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
scottf   21 #12 Posted March 15, 2010 I agree rioja, with beckhams delivery and crouches height i think it would have been worth taking him, all the other players that have been mentioned (milner aside) have been massively inconsistant!
