Beckham on loan - should we?

Stephen Ireland?

He wants a loan move till March. Personally i'd have him here. His influence in the dressing room, increased attendances, and of course he could still offer us something on the pitch I feel.

That's just what I need for the second half of this season, being inundated with c*&^s who've come along to see Becks™

The increased attendances and revenue wouldn't help us in the long run then?

No. In the long run, we'll increase attendances and revenues by winning games and avoiding gimmicks.

Unless there's endorsement money involved, I can't imagine Victoria Beckham being remotely interested in the Trafford Centre, Bull Ring et al. That's said in observation rather than critical mode. Haven't given any thought to a loan deal, but it's either wonderful PR work, or me mellowing in my old age, but I'm actually thinking they're a relatively nice couple. They're rich, they've had their ups and downs, but I don't find them despicable.

Kind of a million miles away from that right now, though.

Why is this thread open?

Beckham has said categorically he won't play for a premier league team. He said he would only play for Man U, but has no chance of that happening.

I can't see what's wrong wih the Brand Beckham thing either. The kind of publicity, and generated revenue, is exactly what we need right now. Problem being is the size of his wage.

In fact right now, his stock couldn't be any higher.

As for the player, he works as hard, if not harder than any player on the pitch. He has a lot of intelligence now that his legs aren't what they were, and he's still amongst the best passers and crossers of a football in the world. I don't think he'd come to us because we can't offer him top European football at the moment. It wouldn't surprise me though if it wasn't Man U, that he ended up at Spurs or Chelsea.

Wrong. Read my post on the previous page. That's why this thread is open.
