Beckham needs Milan move

Beckham returns to ACDavid Beckham will rejoin AC Milan in the January transfer window. It will of course be his second loan spell at the San Siro.

Good move for Beckham

His return to Europe is in aid of him making it into Fabio Capello’s England squad for next years World Cup in South Africa.

You can understand the logic in Beckham’s mind. Its a good move for the 34 year-old. Not only is he moving back to Europe, hes moving to a club that Fabio Capello will always have one eye on, having played for and managed the Rossoneri twice.

Still useful

The England midfielder is still a useful player with his vision and his ability to produce fantastic crosses. He is also a good leader and a good personality to have in the dressing room. He still has a quick thinking football brain, even if the legs are getting older. He is also incredibly fit for a player of his age.

American dream turned sour

Beckham’s move to America has turned a bit sour in recent months as the fans don’t seem to have forgiven him for joining Milan the first time around. Even one of his teammates at LA Galaxy Landon Donovan has had a pop at the former Madrid and United star, accusing Beckham of being unprofessional and not really caring about the Galaxy. Beckham has shrugged off the abuse and unhappiness of the Galaxy fans and has helped the franchise to the MLS Cup play-offs.

Fourth World Cup appearance?

Beckham has already been to three World Cups with England and will be hoping to be on the plane to South Africa next year. Its not a certainty that he will make it to his fourth World Cup with lots of competition for places on the right side of the England midfield. The likes of Aaron Lennon, Ashley Young, Shaun Wright-Phillips and Theo Walcott are all able to play that role and have youth on their side.

Advantage

However the former United star has the advantage of great experience both at international level and club level. He also has another advantage over the young wingers. He has the ability to produce the end product. His crossing ability is far superior to any of the aforementioned midfielders. Lennon’s crossing ability has slightly improved in recent months but all too often his crosses go astray.

If Lennon could perfect his crossing ability I think he would be undisputed first choice but at the moment its still up for debate. Beckham is a really good player to have on the bench to come on for Lennon with 15 or 20 minutes to go and create a goal.

Should he go to the World Cup?

This has been discussed and discussed in the English press and also by nearly every football fan in England. However there’s only one man who can decide if he goes or not and that’s England boss Fabio Capello. If he has a good few months in Milan and stays injury free I think he will go to South Africa.

Capello likes Beckham and hes a good player to have in your squad. I would take Beckham just because of his will to win for his country and his vital experience. If England are to win next years competition then we will need to use every asset we have at our disposal and Beckham to me is a good asset to have.

    He does not need Milan move. He needs to retire and become a model for men’s underwear or sumthing like that.

    It would be brilliant to see Becks to score a goal from over 50 yards again. This time for England in the World Cup.

    If only for the two or three chances that he may get from a dead ball situation thirty yards out from goal……. You got to have Beck’s on the field. If he doesn’t get the goal he will make it really hard for the defending side to protect. Book his ticket now you might get an early booking discount!

    Nobody argues the fact that he will probably not start, but to have a player like Beckham on your bench is vital for England.Nobody yet in the England squad able to provide his service to the front line and the forwards would love that next year .As of him moving to Milan again , he needs that level of play that in MLS can not find at any team yet, and the true fans know that.

    Oh yes he does deserve to play for England, and to start at that! He is one of the best England has to offer, even if he is getting old. . .
    Besides the only player I’ve seen play harder for England is Wayne Rooney. I know there are others, but I have to see em to believe em.

    I strongly believe that Beckham should not be able to go with the English squad and if he does that he should not deserve to start. There are too many players that are working harder and have shown better for England. I also think the Galaxy will be just fine without him next year and I am very excited to have him back at Milan to watch Inter Walk ALL OVER THEM.

    Mr. Basten:
    Yes he can take the Tinseltown fanatic attacks, but it probably wont be without him challenging some of them like he did earlier this year (International friendly agianst AC Milan and the MLS game against Kansas City Wizards).
    He needs the move to Milan, but of course it should only be a loan, not a full transfer. That way we can all see him back with the Galaxy.

    Beckham has thick skin. If he could survive the wrath of almost the entire nation of England when he was sent off at France 98, I’m sure he can handle a few Hollywood fanatics 🙂

    Of course. But I can tell you the L.A. Galaxy fans will boo him again.

    Beckham should definitely be on that plane to South Africa. England will need him. He might not be a starter, but it’s a long tournament and I believe players like him and Owen with their experience and skills can turn games around for England.
