Beckham signing for Spurs

[aaron bond]

The most overrated player in the history of the game.

I'm looking forward to seeing his corners that can't beat the first man at the post and the numerous free kicks that just hit the wall. I find it so embarrassing that the whole country worships him. If you go to an England match, you'll see big, bald, tattooed, hooligan thugs screaming like girls when Beckham comes on, genuinely believing he's going to save the day.

As other people have mentioned, his style of play is completely different to what Spurs are currently set up, so I hope it messes up their season!

Could be 'Arry's 'Tino Asprilla' moment.

The whole country doesn't worship him at all, only the media, mainly the BBC.

It's a cheap way for spurs to stay in the media spotlight, whilst they drift down the league with this tosser amongst their ranks.

I can't understand why Harold would want the England job?

How can he get bungs his way as national team manager? No transfer markets etc, he'll have to resort to match fixing!

FIFA.

Him and Blatter are like peas in a pod.

Far too old and fucked for the Prem. Two reasons he's gone for him.

1. For the bid for the Olympic stadium.

2. He will be Harry's number two when he's in the England seat.

[ryanmcfc]

I don't think they really want the Olympic stadium. I think it's being used as more of a "wake up call" so to speak to get their own stadium project going.

[CitizenYank]

Maybe this puts it in perspective, I am glad he is gone from the MLS!!

The most odious fucker in football, and the world for that matter. His only goal is to keep himself in the public light pimping himself and his stick insect wife out in order to gain more money, and furthermore, a chance at a Knighthood.

Where did he get us at the WC by hanging around like a bad smell with his go-between 'I'm a fucking goody 2 shoes' shit? Absolutely fucking nowhere!

Where did he get us during the WC bid with his 'I'm sat next to the future King of England look at me world' shit? Absolutely fucking nowhere!

No-one likes him a LA Galaxy, even his team mates and fans have had a go, so he wants to come back to good old Blighty to get rimmed again by the Rag-Tops. Well, I for one won't be welcoming him back with open arms, in fact, he can fuck off the face of the planet for all I care and take that scrap of a woman with him!

Thanks for posting that Beefy......you've just summed up perfectly my own thoughts on this tattooed cretin and that washed out, ugly bag of potatoes that he has forever in tow alongside him.

However, I've just been pondering further as to how Spurs would play with Beckscum in the team; I mean they've got to play him at some point in order not to diminish the PR bonus they'll get from supposedly having him in their ranks.

I think he'd play deep and just wander in front of their back four, alongside a holding midfielder (like Palacios) so he could pick up the ball and then hoof his 70 or 80 yard passes to a speedy front line (Bale, Lennon, Defoe) or onto the head of Crouch for knockdowns.

Don't know where this would leave Van der Vart, Modric and Jenas etc, unless any of those took the place of Crouch or Defoe but, by playing Beckscum, I could see Spurs completely abandoning midfield and becoming a stereotyped hyper long-ball team.

Of course the media and pundits would love this 'refreshing', supposedly all out attacking style, based around the the return to this country of our footballing hero/messiah, completely and conveniently overlooking the fact that Spurs would be little better than a Big Fat Sam outfit.

All in all though, I'm looking forward to seeing how one of Twitcher's 'deals' will cause it all to go pear shaped for Spurs.

[Beefymcfc]

You can only imagine what the likes of Lennon et al are thinking knowing that they maybe losing their slot for him? Or, the likes of Defoe maybe thinking Ole 'Arry's going to want to play the big lads to get on the ends of his World Class crosses?

Saying that, I can see him being crocked after the 1st couple of training sessions so no real need to even think about the fucker; thank God.

[Murph]

If only footballers had best-by dates printed on them! He'd have been taken off the shelf years ago. Hope the beckham media circus helps derail spuds.

The media may hype him up, but people throughout the country do love Beckham. Go to any England match and supporters throughout the ground go absolutely crazy if he merely warms up, never mind gets on the pitch. It's embarrassing!

I agree it is a cheap way for Spurs to stay in the media spotlight. But as he is such a shit player, fingers crossed it fucks up their season!

[french_tony]

Will he still be here in April when we play them? Would love to see Nige fuck him up

Unfortunately not. Seems like the current plan is to go back to the USA in March for the start of the MLS season. Although he was supposed to do that when he first signed for Milan 2 years ago, and as he is so committed to his contract, he screwed LA Galaxy over and stayed in Milan for the rest of the season, so fingers crossed he does the same and we get to see NDJ and Zab bully him, and Silva run rings around him.

[Crossie]

Beckham WAS a good player in his day, you dont win 115ish England caps if your shit. He had a fantastic engine and his right foot was gifted.

He never had pace but he had energy and intensity.

Having said all that, I doubt he will do anything of note in his 10 games at Spurs. I wish we could play against him with Kolarov and AJ on that side.

[paulh]

as mentioned in previous posts this signing could mess up the spurs pace attack with their deluded belief they will win the chumps league will leave one less in the running in the top four.

i dont normally mention sick things but the though of him getting a career ending injury at ours when spuds come would be superb! the guy is a pr hore and along with his talentless skeleton bird has jo public in this country cracking one off over them!

all the england and club followers seem to forget what he did in 98? and im not having the work he does for unicef are not for mutual gain

rant over

Redknapp - Beckham move off

Harry Redknapp says his bid to bring David Beckham to Tottenham is a 'no-goer', though expects the midfielder to train with the club for a month.

It appeared likely LA Galaxy man Beckham would link up with Spurs on a two-month loan in the MLS close-season, with Redknapp anticipating to wrap up the deal this weekend.

However, Redknapp has now revealed 'insurance issues' have prevented the move from going ahead after the 35-year-old picked up an Achilles injury while on loan at AC Milan last season.

"I don't think it's going to happen," Redknapp told Sky Sports News.

"I spoke with the chairman and I think there are big problems with insurance issues and everything.

"He got injured last year at Milan, I think there was issues there with insurance."

Redknapp says the former England captain is likely to arrive at White Hart Lane this week to begin a month's training with the north London club.

He said: "What's going to happen, David is welcome to come and train here for a month or so, which I think he would like to do and we're pleased to have him come and train.

"It will be nice to have him here training with us for a month and I think he'll be great to have around the place and he'll be a good influence on everybody and I look forward to him coming.

"But I think as far as playing goes it looks like it's a no-goer."

Redknapp admits he is disappointed not to welcome the veteran midfielder to Spurs as a player, having previously seemed on the brink of securing the deal.

He added: "For sure. It would have been nice.

"It would have been good to have him here available to play for us. But it couldn't happen, so it's not a problem, you just get on with it."

Tottenham take on Charlton at home in the third round of the FA Cup on Sunday, a match Beckham was rumoured to be attending.

But Redknapp says he does not expect the former England skipper to be there, adding: "I don't think so. I'm 99 per cent sure, as far as I know, he's not coming today."
