Beckham - steaming pile of cack or world class?

bort

Just wondering wot people think of Beckham?

I know hes over-rated and everything but i really cant see where he'll fit in in the Real team?
He wont be playing on the right coz thats Figo's best position by far and i cant see him playing in the Makalele (sp?) role as midfield anchor but does he have the actual creativity in the more advanced centre midfield role?


Bort - unconvinced....!

He should join an american football team cause then he can come on take a freekick and go off again cause thats all he is good for

I think Beckham is a good player and a great servant to Man Utd over the years. I think he'll fit in perfectly at Madrid!! He's most definately NOT a steamin pile of cack!!!!!

At the risk of dignifying this threads "pile of cack" topic heading
I'll say he's neither but he can play a valueble role in the Real scheme of things, as noted, free kicks - Carlos' dead balls skills are becoming a joke! He can also feed Raul and Ronaldo until the cows come home. Which he will as Figo will proberly be moving on to Serie A (Inter).

I wouldn't class Beckham as world class but he definately not in the steaming pile of cack catagory either. He is an excellent passer of the ball and lethal at free kicks within range of the goal, he also plays with alot of heart especially for England and I think he will do well at Real if he gets his game often enough.

I did hear one interesting thing on the news tonight. If he returns to the Premiership in the next few years he will probably go to an adidas club which rules out Scum and Arsenal.

i presume that this is to do with sponsorship. if it is then it is madness that a company who sponsors him can dictate where he goes to. there isn't that many top clubs in England with Adidas shirts is there?

is Beckham a steaming pile of cack or world class? he's neither. i would put him above average for his passing and dead ball skills

Are Newcastle still Adidas?

hes not a great player by any stretch of the imagination, pretty much anyone who has a bit of footballing talent to begin with can spend 8 hrsa day hitting balls with their right foot until they can do what he can do, any professional footballer (and i realise this apploes to loads and am opening a can of worms ) who cant use both feet should spend traing sessions being beaten in their good leg with a stick wen they try to use it until they are equally good with both or at t least attempt to use their @bad@ leg during a game.I think it is a disgrace to see a right footed player running down the left wing and get into a grweat crossing position only to have to stop and turn bac on to their rigfht foot to cross the ball. Beckham has absolutely no left foot and until (never happen) he gets one he should never be classed as anywhere near world class. 25 million is a bit excessive for half a footballer who cant venture off the right wing.

Nike play a large part in Ronaldo`s transfers

Not sure about that one as I heard the bookies had made United favourites to sign him when he leaves Real Madrid. I heard that either on Today Fm or on Sky News, can't remeber which!
