Beckham on loan - should we?

This is just like the good old days. Whenever season ticket sales were a bit light or he wanted to shift a few half season ones at xmas, Doug would get the rumour mill working. Gazzas name popping up was always a good one.

There are two things about Beckham - he's given his all in every game he's ever played and there's no footballer in the world, possibly in history, with such a keen eye for his public image. There's no way he'd play anywhere, least of all the Premeir League, if he didn't think he was up to it anymore. He would never ruin his reputation for the sake of three months wages.

uhm him jumping out of the tackle in Japan against Brazil comes to mind, they scored from that incident.

Beckham has always kept in the forefront of his mind that it was his performance on the pitch that was paramount, everything esle that happened around him flowed from that. Its a lesson that the Stephen Irelands of this world should take on board.

Do people still go on about that?

He jumped out of the way in an attempt to win us a throw-in. It went wrong. Absolutely nothing to do with him giving his all.

Often this type of dedicated player is the last to realise when the game is up.... He may think he is still up to it and perhaps won't face up to the fact that he isn't as effective as he once was. He'll also be aware that his image won't be particularly tarnished by playing out his career on the bench or for a less successful club... He does seem to be an inspirational figure for many people though... I don't quite get that myself but if thats something he would bring to Villa along with a few decent free kicks then it might be worth a punt. May aswell complete the set of society's evils potentially being sat in the Trinity on the odd Saturday .... tory prime minister, future king of england, governor of the bank of england and posh spice...

Becks is history.   Need to look to the future.     Many a man has fallen down looking back over his shoulder.
