Could anything excite Sky Sports more than a David Beckham fiasco?
Just plant his face square on TV, get 80 million different clips and opinions on his situation….you can tell they’ve run through this routine before. Maybe twice.
And yes, there is good reason for the theatrics today, as Beckham has once again found himself as the top headline with a possible January loan to AC Milan in order to stay fit (please check out that link and Soccernet’s photoshop with Beckham in a Milan uniform. Hysterical.).
The positives: Beckham stays fit now that his MLS season is over, keeps himself in the England mix during the MLS offseason (Fabio Capello has said he needs to do this is he is to be considered for the national squad) and gets some undeniably better competition than in the MLS. And imagine a Kaka, Ronaldinho, Beckham combination in the middle when he plays – pretty entertaining to think about.
Who knows how much he will play at Milan, but there’s no doubt that his right foot still has plenty of juice left in it, and it’s hard to imagine him not rising to the challenge at a megaclub like that. Plus, don’t you think he’s been missing competition like Serie A while being in the MLS, even for all the times he says he loves life in L.A. and being an ambassador for the American league?
Or let’s think about it in an MLS light. Not that this will happen, but what if Beckham falls in love with playing in Milan during these few months (if the loan goes through). Who is to say that this move isn’t more because it’s killing him to be playing on a losing team in the MLS rather than saving his international career? What if he is craving top-level football and he excels in Milan’s system? Just a few thoughts.
What a great story,and let any thoughts come out in the comments below. Will the move go through? Is this a good move for Beckham? For L.A./the MLS? England? Should he have gone to another team?
