David Beckham to AC Milan on loan
Well, well, well. Suppose the MLS is not providing the glory and competitiveness that some people (i.e. no one) thought it would. But America’s favourite soccer player, and probably the only one any of them can name, could be on his way to AC Milan for a loan stint.
What can Beckham add to the Italian giants? Deadly free kick delivery? Experience and leadership?
Nah, sell a few shits, innit?
According to *cough* The Sun,
Milan vice president Adriano Galliani said: "Beckham wants to train and play with Milan. Will he arrive? I believe so, yes.
"We want him. He will arrive in January and we will sign him for the rest of the season.
"We are talking with his agent but I believe he will be here for some months on a loan. The team remains intact but Beckham is something else.
"It’s not just a shop window deal, it’s a great deal. He will be available for (manager) Carlo Ancellotti for Serie A and the UEFA Cup.
"Football today is not just about tactics and technical abilities. It’s about full stadiums and sponsors. No one can beat the 65,000 fans we had on Sunday.
"The stadiums will only fill up with superstars like Beckham.
"With him, Kaka and Ronaldinho, it will be a dream team."
Milan boss Ancelotti added: "For me it will be a pleasure, Beckham is a serious athlete, a great professional.
"If he is available for four months with us, we will be very happy."
The last side to think they had assembled a dream team was probably Real Madrid, where the Galaticos managed to win close to nothing and were capped off by the arrival of, erm, Beckham. Luckily, DB actually ended up playing a massive part in bringing the title back to the Bernabeu.
Bodes well for Milan, and for Posh’s wardrobe.
