View Full Version : Why didn't we (at least) try to sign Beckham?

Why didn't we? Real got him for a very good price, and look at his contract 50% of his sponsorship deals go to Real.Real will even earn money by signing him...
And we would need him more on the right flank than they need him(they got Figo).

I too think Real Madrid did a great deal by signing David Beckham. They will no doubt earn money from him. He doesn't make the team much better, but in terms of public relations and the financial part of it, the deal is a very good one for Real Madrid.
We should have tried to sign him...
We don't go for the same targets as Real Madrid. also did it seem to be the wish of Beckham to go to Real.

We don't go for the same targets as Real Madrid? I mean, then they should not try to sign Beckham not us, why should we adapt...we should try to sign a player that would benefit us not think what would benefit Real Madrid.

One simple answer: WE DON`T NEED NEED HIM SO WHY TRY TO SIGN HIM ????
You must realise that Beckham doesnīt adapt to a team, itīs the team who must adapt to him.
Signing Beckham would mean changing our whole formula - and you donīt change a winning formula.And please spare me the crap "Beckham could play in the right side and we could bench Gattuso".
Beckham doesnīt run 1/3 og what Gattuso does and we simply canīt live without Rinos work. Heīs the one who makes sure we can play with both Pirlo + a nr 10. + 2 attackers + an offensive midtfielder like seedorf (know heīs hardworking also, but he push foward a lot).
We didnīt try to sign mister Pop-Spice, simply because we arenīt gonna change our concept with Seedorf-Pirlo playing infront of defense-Gattuso + a fantasia + 2 attacker + allways 4 defenders.
Can we please stop this dicussion ?? Becks have signed for Real and I and many other milanists are very happy that he didnīt come here. Can we please leave mister Pop-Spice at Real and consentrate on our team and the upcoming season ???
I would actually love to see one day, we buy a player who is good as well as famous off the field.
That would be interesting having the media following everything Milan do.

What do you call Redondo and Rivaldo??? Shevchenko?? Nesta???? Rui Costa??!!!
Remember the hype the entire year before we actually bought Shev??? I call this phenomena "the grass is always greener" b/c it seems we tend tothink our own players aren't as good or aren't the big names we see on other teams.
As for Greaser Spice, who says we didn't???
And I agree with what FOX said....plus, yes, can we stop all this Becks talk??? Too many topics wasted on him!

Well, honestly Nesta, Rui Costa, Redondo aren't really known to people who do not watch football.David Beckham is as is Luis Nazario De Lima Ronaldo.Well, about playing Beckham on the right and benching Gattuso, I think Beckham could play on the right flank and Gattuso in the centre(where Pirlo is now) and we could then rotate Rui Costa and Pirlo on the attacking mid/playmaker position.

How can you say that a team has to adapt to Beckham? He has never changed clubs before and Manchester United's play has never been centered just around him.
In case you don't know, Beckham is one the players that runs the longest distance during a game, it has been measured... But don't get me wrong, I wouldn't change Gattuso for him.
But if it's a place for Beckham i Real Madrid's squad, I sure think there would be a place for him in our squad too...
Anyway, no that he is a Real Madrid-player it doesn't matter much... We'll go on and win the CL next season just like we did this year no matter what! :D

:eek: Please!!!! donīt even mention Becks and Ronaldo in the same sentence! Ronaldoīs a unique player, a true master.. his reputationīll live on for many years.. while Beckhamīs the nexs of the week.. most peopleīve forgot about the footballer Beckham in a few years.. donīt make a mistake.. heīs a very good player.. but his giddy fame has been earned outside the field.. If I want Beckham itīs because of his skill, not his fame.. I can live on without seing the Great Milan turned into a backyard for super popstars...:rolleyes:
Hmmm, some of you might want to examine exactly why you need to have your love of Milan validated by others. If you wanted Beckham to come to Milan just because of the popularity it would bring to our team, you need to think about why you support Milan anyway. Do you support a team just because a whole bunch of people (many of whom know nothing at all about football) are walking around wearing the shirt, or calling it their favorite team, or watching them on TV once in a blue moon? We have enough popularity and fans--who doesn't know Milan and recognize the black and red stripes? I don't need a bunch of teenage girls and the like screaming at a player to make me feel my club is a "big" one. Sure the money would have been nice, but have you checked to see exactly how much cash our owner has on hand. I assure you it is a hell of a lot. Beckham was always going to Real, once they got into the negotiations. Good luck to him and Real. We do not need a player who is very good at a few things (the jockeying for free kicks will be interesting at Real), but not in any way one of the the top five players in the world, based upon all around skill and not media hype. Money and fame aren't everything, a fact which Real shall discover soon enough if they are still gonna be having Hierro anchoring thier pourous backline. Casillas best be working out this summer, and getting even better, because he will need to be.

Yes, I said that if Beckham came here we would have to adapt to him and I still mean that.
Becks is by far best playing as right wing - he can play ok at central, but then you donīt use his best quality: great crosses.
And since we didnīt play with actually wings last season we would have to change our template and "adapt" to use Beckhams qualities.

If every team are thinking in these terms, then the footballteams will start to look like a group of Backstreet Boys.
Milan are not aiming for players who are famous in some porno magazines or whatever. We are aiming for players who are worldclass on the pitch. We aim for winning!
Beckham is overrated. He will do better on the market than on the footballpitch.
By the way, we already have the best man who is earning money for us, Silvio Berlusconi. He can buy Beckhams wife if he wants to...

Well said RIO! Let's face it please, ManU and Beckham are publicity machines. ManU began a huge marketing campaign some years ago when they were quite out of money. Now they are among the world's most recognized teams...among people who have never even seen a game! Spare me, but give me a real blood and guts team with real blood and guts players. Do we need media HYPE to affirm to us that our team is one of the best on the planet right now??? If so, why??? Sorry, but give me skills and players willing to work hard, not go on publicity tours!!!

Mark my words...
IF we dont take someone big like Totti and boldman is saying the truth(i am thinking of this some time now) then, will be the biggest crime we have ever done.
We are cup winners and european cup winners and we act in the transfers like we have a team full of stars..
Hold on a min..
Yes i am talking to you guys, who will start attacking me for the above..
Rui, Rivaldo is very good but..THEY ARE OLD AND THE GETTING OLDER SEASON BY SEASON.
WHY IN THE HELL NOT BUY SOMEONE LIKE TOTI OR BECKS?
I dont like Becks either, but see the deal...is very cheap
Ps
See Juve...its the Serie A Winners, but got Chievo ROSSONERO defender....why not taking a hard working player like that?
Ps2
I agree with Rio about Becks, but whatever we say, he is a good player and Real got it in the right price..
Ps3
Totti or Ronaldinio....please...dont mess whatever we did last year
I hope only, to take someone like Totti....and all these to be a smoke screen...

excellent post just what i have been thinking all the time becks is not on my list of top players( i would never buy him even in CM) enough said. money is seriously not a problem for milan cause i am sure WE ARE the RICHEST club in the world right now.(based on the fact that we have the highest income with no debt to repay plus a filthy rich owner). serously i rather we put our money towards buying a top player( not an celebrity) like totti( which is a player i have loved for a long time).
We didn't try because we were afraid that we might end up getting him! :eek: :eek: :tong: :tong: :D :D

we as football fans should look beyond Beckham's off field stardom, but actually on his skills. If you despise him because you don't think he's that good at football, well thats your opinion. But if you despise Beckham based on the fact that he's one of those world famous icons that for some reason girls love, then well thats your opinion also but not a very valid opinon, what im saying if you are a football fan, judge the guy based on his on field peformances.
And marrying a popstar does not make him a popstar!!!
why are they talks of how Beckham fits into Milan anyway? this may be valid topic if he hadn't already signed for another team!
i think another reason might be:
REAL needs to make money, at the price of victories, they would like to gamble.
we don't.. we have BERLUSCONI with his CHECKBOOK. :D :D
so we can just concentrate on conquering Europe with one BIG trophy after another...
BRAVO BERLUSCONI :cool::tong:!

We tryed to sign Beckham .. but Galliani said that it would be difficult to sign him, bc. Madrid was a step infront of us.
I dunno if he wanted to go to Madrid or it was other who did make the decesion .... but the different between Madrid and Milan was surely someway of less money from Milan ...
Beckham is more than a footballer to sign ... he is a pop star outside -- would like to know how Raul, Zidane etc. do like him ...

WE DONT NEED BECKHAM!!!!
We already have the best players and the best team, why do we need beckham? Plus, we know that beckham`s contract with a commercial brand ( im sorry, cant remember the name ) is a big rival to Opel... and Opel is one of the biggest $$$ contribution to Milan. What would you think will happen if they (Milan) really sign in Beckham?
After all, the romours `bout Beckham will go to Italy is started by his own wife, Posh!! She`s the one who`s so dreaming to go to Italy since Italy`s fashion industry is so recognizeable to the world. That`s why all the reporters thought Beckham really will play in Italy League next season. After all, Posh is too demanding on Beckham`s salary while he`s in Man Utd. which cause Ferguson leave no choice but sell him. If Ferguson says yes to what Victoria`s demand, how about Giggs`s, Scholes`s demands? They are football stars too.. and very talented player too...
About Beckham`s decision on choosing Real instead of Barca, I say HE`S DIGGING HE`S OWN GRAVE!!! Why?!! The only person who wants him in Real is Real`s Director. The reason... everyone knows, MONEY!! FAME!! Not even Del Bosque wants him in the squad. They already have excellent midfield, right wing, whatever... in the squad. Del Bosque will give a damn hell care to put him on the pitch. He probably end up most of his time on the bench. Which means less games he play, low chances for him to play with England team. (Not to mention Captain). Even Raul Gonzalez himself came up to see the Director face to face and told him that the squad dont need beckham. And what you think will happen if beckham see himself spending most of his talent on the bench? Or what will other star players such as Figo and Zidane feel if their place on the field being given to Beckham? I tell u really that Real, sooner or later will be in a VERY BIG TROUBLE! They will `fight` among themselves... `quietly`.... but the day will come when the truth is reveal. In my opinion, he should except Barca offer. I know it is his dream to play in a big club such as Madrid but think again, does it really worth for him to play in Bernabeu and in the same time lessen his chances to play for England?
If he goes to Barca, not only he`ll be so welcome there, he also make more money there. Plus, he`ll be the next Primadonna in Barca, since Ronaldo and Raul are the Primadonnas of Real.
Well, sorry if i out of topic. But the truth is the truth.... I love Milan with all my life, and to see Beckham in the squad.... I kill him!!! Forza Milan!!

you could be right!
barca could have been his chance to get his 'player-status' back on track because he would have become a leading figure in barca with a big responsibility.
in madrid he risks being a celebplayer who is only playing a minimum amount of matches in order for madrid to fulfull television contracts.
the day after he was sold, a japanese tv stations secured a contract for all madrid matches - ofcourse there's no way they'll pay that money if becks is not playing, hence del bosque can be forced to play him whether he likes it or not. (i beleive this happens in football all the time with other players as well)
on the other hand.
becks could have made more money in barca. madrid has REALLY benifitted from becks wanting to play for them only and noone else. perhaps becks is very eager to show that he is one of the best? he is facing tough critizism from football supporters from day one so he could also be running a big risk... - we'll have to wait and see.
perhaps he will be develop and be a success, perhaps not. it doesn't bother me that much....
i think milan has showed interest but had no intention of putting up a fight to get his signature.

luckily we didn't sign him
NO TO WAR! NO TO BECKHAM!!
Dear Angel, you got these words just out of my mouth!
We tryed to sign Beckham .. but Galliani said that it would be difficult to sign him, bc. Madrid was a step infront of us.
It's our president Belu who said that the 20+ Mio can be better used somewhere than to sign a spice-boy. He knew what he was talking about as a media expert!
Let's face it please, ManU and Beckham are publicity machines. ManU began a huge marketing campaign some years ago when they were quite out of money. Now they are among the world's most recognized teams...
Indeed, he is a product more of PR & marketing spinning than a football player. Though he did bring a lot of recognition to ManU, I doubt his true earning power for the clubs is as great as it is hyped in the media by his PR agency, esp. English media. Some time ago, I read an article from ManU fan site, which estimated that there are 50 Mio ManU fans in South East Asia, among whom only less than 5% EVER have bought any ManU merchandise, etc.
The hype only benefits spice-boy to get more ads or sponsor deals and his PR agency, which results some big fees for it. I seriously doubt how much of that hype really & finally converts into $$$ for the clubs.
It should not be forgotten that Marketing & PR are only tools to promote a product, which works only when the product does have the corresponding quality as hyped. A great ads does not and can not turn a Polo car into a Porsche, though it may try.
As spice-boy continues his struggle for his poor footballing in RM, his so-called marketing value is in decline. We'll see how many are willing to shed out 60~80 bucks for his shirt. Good football sells not beautiful face or fancy dresses.
BTW, I always feel guttered by the ignorance & patronising tone of the English-media whenever using Asian market potential as the example to try to ratify spice-boy's money-pulling power. Yes, there are idiot gruppie crying for spice-boy, but, we are by large are actually football fans!
Just want to repeat that in my country China, more than 50% fans are Serie A followers while 33% for EPL; the most supported Club is AC Milan (28.2%),:stuckup::rone: RM (18.5%), Inter & Manchester (11%).
We are doing just fine without the spice-boy.

Now that Beckham isnt in Britain he has suffered a few backlashes from the tabloids, his captaincy is often debated and even his position in the England team is questioned. On current form i would certainly pick Shaun Wright-Phillips ahead of Beckham.

I would pick Gascoigne instead of him if we go by current form. I think Gascogine can also put in a freekick and spend the rest of the match losing the ball and seeing players run past him.
beckham is fantastic in dead-ball situation. i can't think of anything else other than that. :D

good point there. the thought that we might not have kaka' scares me. :v46:
I just never understood which position Beckham (or Figo for that matter as there were rumours about him too) would have played for Milan. Gattuso's place? Even without Kaka that would have been ridiculous with Seedorf, Pirlo and Beckham behind Rui Costa. No balance at all.
I guess they could have gone for a 3-4-1-2, with Seedorf and Beckham as wingers and Pirlo and Gattuso as center mids. Were questionable at any rate.
IMO Beckham is an over rated player. When he was at Man U IMO he played better.
For me Beckham is just a billboard for publicity.
Besides that in our team there was no place for Beckham, better a Dhorasoo or Brocchi.

I don't understand who you are arguing with :dielaugh:
Becham's marketability keeps declining as he contines to play awful in a team that's not doing too well. I think that within the next 2 years Kaka will replace Beckham as the most marketable player. Kaka has an excellent combination of flair, good looks, playing skills. And he really stands out in the Brazillian team whose players are really not very good looking. He's already a model for Armani Jeans and I think also endorses Pepsi. Some months ago I read that the sales of Milan jerseys doubled after Kaka joined Milan. Just think if Brazil with Kaka reaches the final of the next world cup; the entire world would go crazy over him.
And Kaka is also one the best playmakers in the world and really contributes to the team unlike that dirty, piece of crap called Beckham. I think any true fan of football of football should be ashamed of ever wearing a jersey with the name Beckham on it.
i remember reading one report about milan willing to pay $88M for beckham sometime around 1999. correct me if it was not true (I strongly doubted it back then), but that was something called crazy.

Kaka could take over but it will depend on the 2006 world cup. He doesnt neccesarily have to do something good, just something memorable (in Beckhams case it was getting sent off in the England - Argentina game :mad: )

Anywhere Beckham goes a Media circus follows with a steady group of Beatles-type worshipper following behind from 10 year olds with Becks dolls to teenagers hoping to catch a glimpse of Posh. Practices, team trips and security would all be centered around keeping stalkers and the paparazzi away and it would be a constant distraction for the whole team. With all this one has to ask: is it worth it?? What are you getting in return for all this madness 24 7?? A great footballer
whatever. The most marketable player on the planet who can sell jerseys

The reason why we didn't sign beckham?simple because we don't need someone like him,Milan aren't a marketing circus like Real Madridwe don't require players like Beckham for our squad,Sure the money the club may generate from Marketing etc.
But Milan are one of the best at Marketing,sponsorhip,etc we don't need an overrated show pont like Beckham at the club.
