David Beckham: Back for More?

David Beckham is definitely one of those players who is given a lot of publicity, but with a history like his, it is expected. Lately he has been in the news for being loaned to the Italian Giants AC Milan for the second time. Also, Becks had an injury right around the starting of the World Cup earlier this year. Since he was not able to play, there was a lot of controversy on whether 2006 was his last world cup final stages or not. England coach Fabio Capello rudely told Beckham he was too old. But according to Tottenham manager, he wasn’t. The Hotspur boss: “I don't think David will give up. I would never write him off. I think he will come back.” He also went on to compliment David on what a world class player he is and that he hasn’t lost any skill.

In recent news, Redknapp has linked up with the L.A. Galaxy superstar. He wants Beckham not only for his skill but also because he thinks that Beckham is a huge role model and it would be great for team as well.

"He would still be a terrific player," Redknapp stated. "His delivery of the ball remains exceptional, he is a great trainer and he is a local boy from up the road."He continued to add that the two have met before and he thinks that David is a nice guy, and that probably no club would turn down the opportunity to get Becks on the team.

Seeing that the Galaxy had no problem letting Beckham go to the Serie A, not once but twice, I’m sure they would let him leave once again, because at this point we’ve only heard the word on a loan. If it’s up to the man himself, I don’t think he would turn down the opportunity to play in the EPL again. I mean does anyone remember when AC Milan played Manchester United in the Champions League last year? He practically broke down in tears after the kind of celebration the fans gave him at Old Trafford.




Lastly, if the loan goes through smoothly, how do you think he will perform with the rest of the team? If you ask me, I think it will be an interesting twist to the way Tottenham are currently playing. Becks would play in the same position as Lennon another great right winger, but the crossing ability of DB7 is unmatchable. I’ve noticed when watching Tottenham, they are really all about attacking. They have a top class offense with players like Gareth Bale, Peter Crouch, Rafael Van Der Vaart, and Roman Pavlyuchenko. Add Beckham into the mix and the goals will only add up. The rest of the players will also see him as a role model and have more motivation with a legend like Beckham.

In my opinion, I think Beckham should definitely take this opportunity to play in the Premier League once again, not only for the memories but to prove he is worthy of a spot on the English national squad. I would personally be happy to see Beckham play on the highest level of football, and I am sure many of his fans will too.
