Um, no. It would not be selfish as a fan to ask him to stay at the Galaxy. He signed a contract. If he wasn’t sure about it, he should’ve negotiated a shorter deal. He must’ve known what he was signing up for.

i’m so glad to see people who know soccer around here. i totally agree with Carl1988 and XASHX.

becks has shone while at milan and it’s great to see him passionate about his international career as well, because his successful stint at milan earned him his recall to the english side. it would be selfish as a fan to ask him to stay at the galaxy.

@XASHX – Don’t put all Americans into your narrow-minded drivel..I’m American and LOVE soccer/football..Don’t get me wrong, there are a lot of Americans who could give a rat’s ass about the sport, but don’t put us all into one catagory! There are some die-hard fans of the sport here..My whole family included! :)

Actually he probably won’t spend lots of time on the bench being a “loser” since he’s finally found players who can also play football with him rather than the sad excuse for players the Galaxy has.

^perhaps you should actually watch Beckham play for milan, because ive watched the last 3 games of his and he was the best player in ALL of them, and thats playing in a team with players like Kaka!

i agree with ash above , you clearly know nothing about football because anyone who does and who has actually seen the mls league and especially la galaxy could clearly see that it wasn’t beckham who was the problem it was that no-one else in his team cared. one good player cant make an entire team, and beckham has admitted so himself.

and all this rubbish about how he failed in the US. he sold out soccer stadiums all over the united states! sold out soccer stadiums! they never sell out and he was hitting 40,000 supporters. as far as shirt sells go he made the galaxy 3 times the amount of money he cost them – in 1 month. and people outside the USA actually now know that america has a soccer league! he also increased viewing figures in the united states and worldwide coverage distribution ten times over! he has made not just LA Galaxy but also the MLS a shit load of money, and thats the reason they bought him in the first place so he certainly didn’t fail. and if the galaxy actually invested that money in decent players then he would have been able to do the same on the pitch, but he’s a winger and they cant single handedly win you a game, but if you knew anything about football you would know that!

@XASHX — that’s an impressive list of what he USED to be. i’m not a hater, i just think he was a huge failure in the us and now he’s running back to a place where he can hide among more superior players :)

x – you clearly know nothing about soccer or sport in general, because when a player is injured there is nothing they can do about it! if your injured your injured!lol!

and your clearly american and so know absolutly nothing about real football – or beckham as a footballer. he has played for the 3 best clubs – man utd, real madrid and ac milan in the 3 best leagues – premiership, la liga and serie a, in the entire world and add to that he was captain of his country for over 50 games and on wednesday will become englands most capped outfield player EVER having played for his country 109 times! not bad for a washed up pretty boy eh!?! i think americans should just stick to what they know!LOL!

@Louisa — wow, you’re a real a-hole aren’t cha? you seem really defensive. besides, beckham is really good at sitting on his ass, the loser spent a lot of time warming the bench due to injuries during his tenure with the galaxy. i bet this move to milan, if it happens, will prove embarassing for this washed up overrated pretty boy.

That is some sick shit. I don’t care if he leaves or not. I don’t watch soccer nor will I ever run into him. As long as I see pics of him all the time I will be a happy camper!

dana j – why can’t you figure it out. the galaxy and american soccer in general is shit. beckham tried to help, but got bored and pissed off with the fact none of his team mates give a shit about their job, and with those who organise the MLS being completly useless and waaay out of step with soccer in the rest of the world. so rather than sit on his arse for 5 months like the rest of his teammates he went on loan to one of thee best soccer clubs in the league, fitted in perfectly and realised that he needs to be playing this type of football again and not the mickey mouse rubbish in america!
