Becks Joins the Galaxy!
David Beckham announced today that he's joining the LA Galaxy at the end of the European season. Now sneer if you will about how his career is over or how Posh sealed the deal because she wants to lark about with the Paris/Lindsay/Brittney crowd, but the bottom line is that it's a GREAT deal for the MLS. It's a no brainer that he'll bring a greater profile to the league and will put bums in seats at the Home Depot Center next season. He's the perfect sort of big player to bring over - he's got a season or two in the tank and is a recognized star worldwide. Your thoughts, gents?

I think it makes sense but I can't stand the media coverage over here!!!
Just listened to Dan Patrick on ESPN radio dissin it all over the place.
The media is the downfall of football in America
What was his complaint?
This is my brother Mke's take on Becks
What about the Beckham story?
What I love most is that his deal is way bigger then any of the other 'superstar' prima donna's in the premier league, the cole's, lampard's etc... he's still a bigger star then they'll ever be. They'll all be on to their agents saying get me the same deal as Beckham has ...... dream on.
It's the sheer weight of the deal in money that's surprising. $150mil?
You could get 30 Freddie Ljungbergs for that! Fa-fa-fa-fa-Fashion!!!
Make that $250 for five years.
Twice as much as ARod
I must have seen it in GBPounds. It's still more money than he's likely to generate for or to MLS.
It is an astonishing amount of money and I'm not sure his legs have five years in them....but WSD reported that 1,000 season tickets were sold the morning the deal was announced. That is pretty impressive.
