Mr David Beckham ? Does He Ever Want To Move

No Matter if he is out of contract or not he never wants to leave LA Galaxy no matter who you are and how much money you have! has anyone managed to sign him i cant get him with the following Inter, Man UTD, Man CITY, Arsenal, Chelsea . . . the list goes on

PS - As a player ?

I think they made it so he wouldn't move or be very reluctant to move. And i don't think he would want to join my Blyth team

Just had a look in the 9.2.0 database and he has a minimum release clause of a whopping £52631580 so try using an editor like fmm to change this because thats probably why he wont move or the club refuse the bid. I am assuming that this is a mistake because I cant see a club inserting a cluase like that in a contract for a player his age no matter how good he is supposed to be. He also has a loyalty stat of 20 so this will also make him want to stay where he is.

you can agree a fee with la galaxy but its just that beckham never want to leave which is annoying coz hes got phenomenal stats lol

you can agree a fee with la galaxy but its just that beckham never want to leave which is annoying coz hes got phenomenal stats lol

Well then obviously his loyalty stat is the problem. You will need to use an in game editor like fmm to alter this and try again.

dont cheat

there is ways u can get him without using 3rd party programs.

He'll be on loan at AC Milan in the new patch so they might lower his loyalty stat somewhat...

I hope so, his stats are awesome for his age lol.

although i agree about his ability in the game, i fail too rate him in real life, i feel his prescence in the england squad is holding back our younger right wingers, lets face it, not the player he once was, and i really hate the way he makes all the papers everytime he scores for milan. although i did manage to get him for my everton squad on fm08, he was 35 at the time, 5 million pounds it cost but his assists made it all worth it

What you mean everytime he scores?

He's scored twice lol and the papers are only interested in will he move to Italy or stay loyal to LA Galaxy. When he stops playing well for England i'll be all for someone else coming in, but theres nobody in the country who can throw in a cross like him.

first of all, next time he scores, go on bbc, press red and go to the sport index, and go on football headlines, i guarantee there will be a section saying that he scored.

second, nobody in the country?? im sure you may remamber that many people have said that david bentley is practically the same player as beckham. and also i believed that capello should have allowed him a hundredth cap and stop, but i was wrong there and he has played well. but when we have, walcott, bentley, wright phillips, and lennon, who are competing for that place, its a shame that beckham refuses to step down because it gives those players less chances to shine

Bentleys got nothing on Beckham. Beckham is techically better, is mentally better..... And Bentley not much faster either.

Beckham is still the best crosser of the ball in the England team, and his our best set piece specialist.

The problem is that he doesnt have the pace to play on the wing anymore, certainly not in the modern game that requires attacking wingers, and the middle of the park (where he now plays for most club games) is a pretty crowded place in the england side.

The problem isnt that Beckham isnt letting the young kids get a look in. The problem is that, bar Walcott.... none of them have been able to put him to rest. And Walcotts injured at the moment, so naturally Beckham the go to guy for the right.

Capello knows what his doing.

yeah thats a fair view, but if he manages to feature in next years world cup, then after that he has to resign, any way half our players will find it difficult to cope with the heat of south africa, gonna need ice packs under their socks! but in all fairness the longer beckham stays in the engalnd squad, he will affect any players competing for the position.

"First of all" you said papers, the BBC football headlines isn't a paper. Of course the BBC Football headlines will cover Beckhams performance...

Secondly...

Walcott cant get in the Arsenal team to save his life.

Bentley...Who?... fell off capello's radar once he moved to Spurs and got too big for his boots.

Wright Phillips is with a struggling City side and is a selfish player now he's trying to be like his new BFF, Robinho.

Lennon has pace but still nothing on Beckham technically.

Why should we play wingers in the national team who are with strugling sides when we have Beckham who the likes of AC Milan are dying to sign?

Like i said, the day Beckham stops playing well for England is the day I say its time to play the younger kids but as long as he can kick a ball as well as he did 10 years ago he has a rightful place in the National Team.

Get Glen Little in the national side.

well fair enough, you have an opinion, i have an opinion, its a shame they are different, and ac milan squad are basically made up of over 30 players anyway, and its a club i dont particularly like. In my opinion beckham is playing for an italian team in an attempt to suck up to capello. beckham may be a good player, but his celebrity status influences where he plays his football, when his family moved to L.A, it was a popular event in this country, he moved there purely for the security of celebrity friends around him. (if i was a player of his class i would never move to a league as different and of sub standard quality of european leagues) Moving to milan was a big event for this country, and now there are talks of a permanent move. purely the actions of an ageing footballer attempting to stay in the media spotlight. (completely my own opinion, many will disagree but its something i believe)

Walcott cant get in the Arsenal team to save his life.

Walcott is Arsenals first choice right winger. His been a regular all season, the only reason his not there at the moment is because his injured.

Your other points are right though

Get Glen Little in the national side.

probably wrong but i thought glen little was irish?

I put Beckham in the hull side as a mini-experiment at the start of the game and he has refused to leave despite hull being relegated and most of his matches being in the reserve. Apart from him though I have seen a vast improvement in the willingness of player sto leave.

You can wait until Beckham's contract expires with LA Galaxy (season 2012-2013). In my game LA Galaxy failed to renew contract with Beckham, which causes him to leave on free transfer. I got him for free but by that time he was 37. He still went on to score 2 goals and gave 8 assists in that season though.

First of all, get with the times.

Walcott CAN get into the first team squad to save his life, because he's their biggest prospect, and is also England brightest youngster - who probably go on to be the best Winger/Striker that England has seen.

David Bentley, is his name. Don't be ignorant about it. He's about 6 years younger than Beckham. In that space of time, Bentley will be doing much better. Yes, Beckham is better than him, but not by much.

Wright-Phillips is not in a struggling City side. Like I said, get with the times. They're 9th, and strongly pushing for for higher.

He isn't selfish, if anything, he's the complete opposite. He always looks to draw players into the game, and will sooner pass than finish.

Lennon's rapid pace and great passing ability are underrated. He deserves to be a back-up, at least. Even with Walcott out, he doesn't get second place.

Like Walcott, in a few years time, he will be a superstar. Unless Tottenham's next season goes horrifically wrong.

David Bekcham is a technically amazing player. But his lack of pace is something which needs to be considered. There is no place for him in the England squad. Walcott can fill his role of a winger. He can cross is to similar standards. Steven Gerrard or Ashley Young can easily take set-pieces. Ashley Young is an equally adept player, and come 2012, will be better than Beckham has ever been. I have no doubts in my mind.

Despite the fact that he plays on the left, let's not forget that Ashley Young plays on the right also. He should fill Bekcham's boots, now. Never mind when Beckham leaves the squad.

EDIT: Just re-read what you said.

If the club a player is part of means anything, then why do we bother?

That's ridiculous.

Jermain Defoe, Michael Owen and Darren Bent are all part of struggling Premier League squads, but are always played alongside Rooney.

That's not to mention that David James is part of Portsmouth's squad. Micah Richards is part of a 'struggling City squad' according to you, but still gets to play occasionally.

Unfortunately, for you, I don't think that Capello chooses his squad, based on the club they play for. Capello isn't ignorant, unlike yourself.

Jdownie- well put man, i agree that beckham has no place in the current england squad, and i was actually jumping for joy when steve mclaren axed him, we have about 4 right wingers who have pace and crossing ability. and beckham might be a great crosser, but his pace is gone, and cant be included in the squad based on one ability

Money grabbing Hypocrite!

Money grabbing Hypocrite!

beckham summed up in three words, well said, though i would have been on his side if he stayed in engllish football. im sure if he was at man utd he would be on a wage similar to ronaldo, who i hate more than beckham

ive just started a game with about 16 nations playing, and im celtic. When i started the game ion the official database and he got realesed by la galaxy straight away

i got him on a free!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Point number one: This is off topic

BUT for the record of the people who dont watch a lot of football to compare any of the above four mentioned with Beckham in terms of ball strking is laughable. Beckham is one of the best ball strikers in the world FACT. Still now he delivers and passes a better ball then anyone in the England squad and as a Chelsea fan I include Lampard in that. Beckham still has the ability to play for England and until someone steps up for England (as Gerrard and Lampard do for there clubs) and consistently perform with the three lions shirt on, I welcome Beckham in both the England squad and team.

Add to the fact he consitently has to take stick from couch fans but always comes back stronger shows the man as a true legend.

He deserves everything he has got and everything he will continue to get.

Beckham performs consistently? So why was he dropped from the squad?

Also, I never argued with the fact that he was one of the best strikers of the ball. I know that. But his pace is poor, and in the modern game of football, Pace, on a Winger, is hugely important. Beckham doesn't have that.

Also, I'm not a couch fan. In fact, I'm not even a fan. I'm not English.

I don't think that you were talking about me, to be honest. But I'm not sure.

Your right ... I wasnt talking about anyone inparticular... just the stick he has to take....

He was a scapegoat.. that was why he was dropped... lots of players failed to perform in the world cup but he stood up and resigned as captain and admitted he performed below his normal standard... Another testament to his great character.

A few more David Beckhams and England team would be fine.

Oh and if pace is only important for wingers if your tactics are to bomb to byline..... If you have a quick full back overlapping do you need to be able to do 100m in under 10 seconds??

Think Beckham should be England first choice for right midfield but i'm suprised no one has mentioned James Milner. He would be my second choice

a quick fullback???? hope your not talking bout gary neville, hes not quite got it in the pace department. you may not have thought about neville, but when he is fit he is englands first choice right back i think

a quick fullback???? hope your not talking bout gary neville, hes not quite got it in the pace department. you may not have thought about neville, but when he is fit he is englands first choice right back i think

It was an example..... tactics should be built around players at your disposal.

eg. Wimbledon used to have big tall powerful strikers and hit long balls up to them. They had gritty midfielders to pick up pieces.

You wouldnt play long balls to Micheal Owen as a target man so why do people presume and expect Beckham to beat his man. His quality is picking an early pass/cross and his vision is second to none and the results over the years have been on the world stage.

I'm just saying to compare these youngsters is ludicous. Beckham was double the player they are now when he was there age and had already won it all.

a quick fullback???? hope your not talking bout gary neville, hes not quite got it in the pace department. you may not have thought about neville, but when he is fit he is englands first choice right back i think

Richards is better! And deservs the role or johnson.

Richards is better! And deservs the role or johnson.

Johnson?? good player this season and i agree is pushing for an england place, Richards is the future right back IMO but i think wes brown has done well there

first of all, next time he scores, go on bbc, press red and go to the sport index, and go on football headlines, i guarantee there will be a section saying that he scored.

second, nobody in the country?? im sure you may remamber that many people have said that david bentley is practically the same player as beckham. and also i believed that capello should have allowed him a hundredth cap and stop, but i was wrong there and he has played well. but when we have, walcott, bentley, wright phillips, and lennon, who are competing for that place, its a shame that beckham refuses to step down because it gives those players less chances to shine

bentley, swp, and lennon are not in the same league as beckham. pace is not everything that is what some england fans dont realize. oh yes they can go past the fullback but what will they do then..? nothing or a crap cross or a crap shot! walcott is good but still not developed. beckham should always be in the squad til he keeps performing which he is. england need to stop promoting these overrated average players. and no one mentions young the best winger in the premiership..!

best english winger you mean????

hope your not suggesting Young is better then Ronaldo

best english winger you mean????

hope your not suggesting Young is better then Ronaldo

he probably meant best winger in the premiership eligible for england. although i do hate ronaldo with every fibre in my body, i grudgingly admit he is the best player out there

It's ok for a Wing Back to overlap Beckham, but two flaws with this tactic.

A - If England lose possession, who is there to defend the RW?

B - Beckham cannot cross the ball in now... What use is he, if he's only needed to pass to a full back?

I know what you mean, and I've twisted your words, slightly. But a good winger can cross the ball well, and be quick. A quick full back, AND a good crossing Winger, is not ideal.

You want both of them to be quick. And both to be at least decent at crossing.

he probably meant best winger in the premiership eligible for england. although i do hate ronaldo with every fibre in my body, i grudgingly admit he is the best player out there

I have to disagree, messi is now the best out there. Have ou seens messis form compared to ronaldos this season. Last season i would have agreed by the barca side are ripping la liga apart...

Back on topic... Beckham is a good right midfileder imo. not fast enough to run down a whole wing, beating defenders and etc. Yea hes good at crossing but what if he doesnt have that option? is he just gonna stand with the ball? Walcott lennon etc would proably be able to cut inside

well i wouldn know i dont tend check out the spanish teams i stick to te premier league and i dont think there is a best player anyway, the best player can play any position effectively

stick him in goal then, i assume you thought of that when i said every position

stick him in goal then, i assume you thought of that when i said every position

didnt think of goal but he probably can

You guys don't know anything about tactics :

Slow Side Midfielder = Cross Ball From Deep

Fast Side Midfielder = Cross Ball From Byline

It's that simple...

P.S. Side Midfielder =/= Winger

Michael Kightly is the answer. Can beat his man, cross and score. 18 assists and 7 goals, not bad for a winger........

Also, I'm not a couch fan. In fact, I'm not even a fan. I'm not English.

I don't think that you were talking about me, to be honest. But I'm not sure.

Isn't his lack of pace the reason why he was so determined to perfect his crossing ability in the first place? He never was much of a pacy player even when he was younger or a skilled dribbler, he is not a Luis Figo type of winger but he can deliver a perfect cross from the center line if he feels that it is a good attacking move.

Second English goal in the 2-3 loss to Croatia is a great example, he was positioned at the right place in the right time and perfectly delivered a one-touch cross to Crouch. Just one touch with the ball, no need for outrunning the defender or dribbling around him.

Someone actually claimed walcott can cross the ball nearly as well as beckham in this thread:D

Am watching Lazio - AC Milan and Beckham has assisted 3 goals for Milan already.

One was ruled offside by Pato but the goals by Pato and Ambrosini where results of his pinpoint accuracy on his crosses.

The thing is regardless of his pace or his age he still can play on a very high level that non of the other England wingers can match at the moment.

What is his wage on the game?

IRL he is on a **** load, so id say the creators would have made it so he would never leave for a pay cut.

To be honest, when he did sign i think everyone thought that he would never play in a competitive European league again

I think the reason Beckham has been so popular at Milan is because the pace of Italian football is much slower, which suits him, and AC Milan employ the deep lying playmaker, so if Beckham's not far up the pitch then the team are suited to him playing a long ball, and if he's up the pitch then he can just swing in a cross, so either way he's well suited.

This will benefit him in the England team because Capello, being Italian, likes to play patient, pragmatic football, which Beckham has adapted to since his pace has dropped. And let's face it, Capello will only pick him if he's good enough.

Bentley, Lennon, SWP all better English right wingers imo
