Becks: Milan forever, Galaxy never?

Well, that just might be the mantra David Beckham is repeating in his mind right now, especially since he finally came out of the open and declared his desire to stay with AC Milan. As you might know, and as I wrote back in October, Becks is on loan to Milan from the Los Angeles Galaxy and was supposed to return to the California team on 9th March. But after his impressive performance over the last few weeks, including scoring two goals, AC Milan’s management have been repeatedly expressing their wish that Becks stay at San Siro even if the team’s CEO, Adriano “Uncle Fester” Galliani, has stated, “David is a player with Los Anglese Galaxy. We can’t kidnap him.”
But Wednesday Becks added his two cents and finally admitted that he would rather play for the Serie A team and also gushed, “I have enjoyed my time here. I knew I would enjoy it but I didn’t expect to enjoy it as much as I have and do as well as I have.” Yes, he has done rather well, contrary to what I predicted in my previous post, but for once I’m happy to have been wrong! Beckham has proved to be a valuable player and more importantly, he’s caught the eye of England captain (and former Milan coach) Fabio Capello.
Yes, he’s been such a good boy! So much so that he doesn’t even indulge in any Milanese par-taying, preferring to hang at his luxurious hotel watching DVDs all on his lonesome than celebrating with his teammates and Italian starlets, well, that is if you believe this Daily Mail story. So that’s why I haven’t bumped into him at H&M yet. Ah, what a martyr!
And I also didn’t run into him Wednesday night at the Casa 139, a small club where I caught a fantastic young band from Naples called GNUT. I appreciated their musicianship, their lyrics, their stage presence and it didn’t hurt that they were EXTREMELY easy on the eyes. You can see for yourself in their video Esistere:
Buon weekend!

I think now that he’s back playing in Europe, he’s realized that it’s a completely different level compared to the American league. It’s a no brainer really.

I really hope he stays. I wasn’t sure about him coming over in the first place, but he’s clearly stepped up his game again & is making everyone play better. Hell, I think even Pirlo’s playing better with Becks on the pitch (I know, I can’t believe I’m saying that, either). So yeah, I hope they can make it work for him to stay…
Well, I think the real reason Becks doesn’t want to leave Milan is that he can’t stay away from Pirlo 😉 Milan is working real hard to make him a monetary offer he can’t refuse. Let’s hope the lawyers are able to work things out. The only real obstacle now is the wife. Apparently Victoria is on her way to London for a “summit” to decide on their future: will it be with Mickey Mouse or Giorgio Armani? Hmmm…

I think it will be better for him to stay, but he knew what the LA Galaxy was about when he signed up for it, and he was happy to take the extraordinary amount of money they offered him. I know it was a publicity stunt, but he never did anything for the team, besides showing his pretty face. I do not care what happens to him now.
I am no fan of the Galaxy, just looking at things from my perspective.
Thanks for your two cents 🙂

I think the level of play here is better and he was frustrated playing with the Galaxy.
I don’t blame him. Soccer is just not an A-list sport in the States among non-immigrant Americans.
My fellow countrymen don’t know what they’re missing. It’s call the beautiful game for a reason (and no, I’m not just talking about the players. ha)
It still boggles the mind why Americans don’t like soccer.
