Beckham to Milan

I wouldn't want to see him or his stick figure of a wife in Milan.

If football was more like American football where you can sub a player on for a kick, then yeah, Beckham would be good to use as a 'free kick' taker. However, it's not like that and we don't need him. Besides, there are far better players out there that we should concentrate on.

Beckham at Milan?

I seriously hope not.

Jankulovski is our new midfielder, simple as IMO

Well said SPURSMILAN

we don't need comments like those from hitmannq8. It's like the racist abuse against black players in Italy, there is no basis for it, particularly as they are generally amongst some of the best players.

I'd wish we get serious on this debate and not critisize a player because of his persona. It would seem that is the sentiment running here with some of us fans. Why no one has yet to simply say "he doesnt fit into Ancelotti's plans" is beyond me. Here are some questions and facts we need to consider.
When was the last time we had an effective winger on the right side field of play???
The last time I remember was maybe Donadoni nearly 10 years ago. Up til now it has been dismall. With the exception of Cafu we can't get a decent a$$ cross from the right side from anyone playing in that area. Rhino is a good ball winner and plays with a lot of heart, but he can neither shoot or pass with much effectiveness. Yet he still is an essential player. So we basically have only one man to cross or run up the right flank with serious effect .... CAFU, who let's call a "wingback".
In Becks defense to be fair, he was effective playing that right midfielder role when at Man United, and he is a pretty good person to take a free kick. This is a role that he has not been put in during his spell at Madrid. Probably one of many reasons why he has not been playing at his top, is that he is playing out of place. From the many games he's played with Madrid, he currently is playing the same role as Pirlo as an anchor/playmaker in our half of the midfield. No worry for Pirlo!
With talk of Gattuso from his own mouth desiring to play in England, why not have at least the consideration to at least think of Beck's coming to Milan?
Listen guys I remember myself having such stupid sentiments when a so called striker named Fillipo Inzaghi was tapped to play for our team. I'm glad that anyone that has anything to do with signing players didnt take sentiments like mine seriously and I'm proud to admit that I was wrong with my misjudgment of such a player like Inzaghi coming to Milan. So lets all be a little fair and more constructive in this topic of Beck's coming to Milan.
Even though this is all rumours and heresay, I think we should at least be mature, decent, and a little bit more classy about this issue.
I dont doubt that we here have that kind of serious character. It be good to show that once in a while though!

FORZA MILAN!

Okay, you have said it yourself, Beckham doesnt fit into our current template.

Who would you sacrifice if we bought Beckham?

Gattuso? No, we would be losing our main ballwinner.

Pirlo? No, we would be losing on long range shots. Although some would argue Pirlo and Beckham pass the ball superbly, Pirlo is a better dribbler and defender.

Seedorf? Then it would be the same as per before. Now we would have only one person to cross from the left. Kaladze/Jankulovski.

Cafu? Maldini? Nesta? Stam? Kaladze? Nah. You are being crazy.

What about Crespo/Inzaghi/Tomasson? Let Sheva play alone to accommadate Beckham. No, this wont work either. Sheva can play alone, thats a fact. Problem is, having two upfront is always the most effective. Having Sheva upfront TOGETHER with another striker compliments his partner. Defenders have to mark both of them. Which is a tough task. Having Beckham in place of a striker would be no use since his function would then be exactly as to Pirlo's function, to give long balls and take the set pieces.

In conclusion, Beckham would not be a good signing. But honestly, I'd like him to join Serie A as I think his marketing and commercial value would be such a good asset for Serie A.

Ciao!

yada-yada-yada.

Lol. the only good thing bout becks joining milan is that he'll give milan more 'depth' in the team.

becks to start in milan? no.
becks to star in milan? no.

(that one was from another milan fan btw)

I hardly think Milan would even CONSIDER taking Becks

Kudos to you by bringing in some thoughtful points to consider in this matter. That is all I was asking from the those posting here. Many of the others were more focused on his wife coming here and stuff.
At least you didnt demean the guy.

Milan did consider taking him before he joined Real.

Galliani was saying something about him being contracted to Vodafone whereas Milan endorse Siemens.

Real have Siemens on their shirts!

So this is just a dead issue. I hope it is. It's stupid rumours like this that gets us in such a bad mood.

Sorry Kui, I was merely joking. I think Becks is a decent footballer but realistically I highly doubt he'd get a starting place in Milan - and with all the popularity surrounding him it'd be unlikely hes the kind of player that likes to be benched. Seeing what a decent player he is, he will be beneficial to Milan as he will give them more depth but other than that... I really dont see him making it in Milan. In no way am I patronizing you or trying to criticize Becks, but as I see it hes not Milan's type.

No probs darling. That is a good point. With the wages demanded by players today, Beck's stock value can deppreciate really quick and we get fVcked with the bill. How old is he anyway???? He is around that point of his career where it becomes a dangerous gamble for any team to want to invest in someone like that. Like in the case of Luis Figo. There have been no dividends payed back to Madrid in silverware since thay signed him at such a price and maintain his wages. Bad investment.

True. But just imagine though if he DOES go to Milan - you'd see everyone (so called 'fans' ) starting to wear the rossoneri jerseys. whats a scary sight
