good point, technically he did have a very poor cross, couldnt control the ball and as for his shot, that was woefull. Ok the guy had a resonable free kick and took above average corners but really getting that marketting team together at the age of 14 to pull the wool over bobby charltons eyes when he topped the bobby charlton football clinic and then the way they sold him to Man utd before he was even old enough to sign a contract was brilliant. The question I ask is was Sir alex all part of the marketing ploy?Nai Ego Eimai wrote:*Beckham world class player! What a joke.
*Nothing is further from the truth.
*This joker from a playing/technical perspective, is really quiet ordinary.
*He has a marketing team that has made successful.
*Definition of marketing:pulling the wools over ones eyes.
I like few people who are not taken up up by the bull dust will tell you that he full of bulldust!
And the answer is yes. He let the rest of the squad carry young david yet kept playing him to up his profile. That goal from the half way line? Yes thats right it was in fact struck by Ryan Giggs from behind the bushes on the hill all covered up by some great work by martin taylor.
Ego, youre a dick head.

Again i'll say, and by no means am i a man utd fan but go and get a beckham dvd, if you dont think he was a class player, look to another sport. I think at his peak he was the best right midfielder at the time, I dont claim to be an encyclopedia of football but to say he was only any good at set peices tells me you should start watching more than just high lights.MSE_06 wrote:....Geeza gettin more money at the end of his career than wat he did in his peak...as for becks being a quality player...he is only useful in dead ball situations...i look at it lyk this it is the same move AUFC done wit bringinr romario here...attention, publicity...obviously for a longer period and the mil a week difference....

Well I can only say that when George Best was asked to described Beckham, he said that he was an ordinary play who was well over exaggerated by the marketing media.good point, technically he did have a very poor cross, couldnt control the ball and as for his shot, that was woefull.

Now Merson you want to be vulgar with me, if you think that Best's words don't matter, then it clearly indicates that your brains had run down your dads inner thighs jerk!
NATIONAL TEAMS are based on NATIONALITY and thus represent NATIONALIST'S, the rest can piss-off.
