Barca can offer as much as they like, if Beckhams doesn't want to go the deals dead. My tip is he goes to Madrid for less than Barcas offerOriginally posted by alva

Barca doesn't have money o_OComment

Nor a place in the Champions' League for next season. They're crazy to try and buy Beckham and they won't be successful - even if Laporta does win the election.If I'm posting here then Counterglow must be down.Comment

I thought Madrid offered 35 Mill and ALex said he wanted 55? If he is going to Barca for 30 Mill then I'm sure that's less than Real were talking about.Smile

What if Beckham says he doesnt want to leave? Who's more important for MU fans, Sir Alex or Beckham? One will have got to go since I cant see Beckham sitting on the bench for a year. The fans'd be rabid.We need seperate human-only games for MP/PBEM that dont include the over-simplifications required to have a good AI

I think Beckham will go though. His contract runs out in a couple of years, that's the longest he could stay for.Smile

I'm not a United fan myself, but I'm pretty sure the answer to that is Sir Alex.Originally posted by SpencerH

Why would anybody wants to pay that much for Beckham anyway? He's not that great.(\__/) 07/07/1937 - Never forget

No he isn't.
The reason he's so valuable however (rather than great) is because the merchandising and marketing opportunities he brings to a club are huge.
Real Madrid and Barca already sell 100 Billion replica shirts each year - if they bought Beckham they'd sell an additional 100 Billion with his name on the back.

They don't sell many in Asia though, buying Becks would solve that problem.
ManU will always sell shirts in Asia, Becks or no.Jon Miller: MikeH speaks the truth

Another thing to bear in mind is that Beckham is now 28 years old and that his contract runs out in 2 years.
How much will he be worth when he's 30? 31? Will he leave United for free in two years anyway?
If United can get 30+ million pounds for him they would be foolish to turn it down.If I'm posting here then Counterglow must be down.Comment

Players do play longer then they used to do though, so age certainly isn't a problem ATM.
He still has 2 years on his current contract.
Might boil down to what posh wants
