Where is Beckham Going?

So with Beckhams contract drawing to a close will we see him embark on the final chapter of his career at a European club or will he sign on in LA for another year. This man has done more for the sport in the US than any other man could, he has not only brought get exposure to the sport he has garnered a lot of attention for his continuing outstanding displays as a footballer.

David Beckham moving to the US has led to many great players following in his footsteps and his has done a world of good for a league which most of Europe had forgotten existed. We can now see the like of Thierry Henry - New York Red Bulls, Torsten Frings - Vancouver Whitecaps, Robbie Keane - LA Galaxy, Raphael Marquez - New York Red Bulls and a few more international stars who are now plying their trade in the MLS. All of this would not be possible in it wasn't for Beckhams innovation within the game.

It was even said the Robbie Keane was only brought in so that he would give LA that extra fire power to win Beckham the league, so if he would depart this season he would depart with the Championship.

Beckham Trivia

The Suitors

PSG - The newly bought Paris based giant has been flirting with the idea of offering Beckham a very lucrative deal which would keep him at the club for the next two season. PSG with their new owners now have the money to offer a deal which will look very good if tabled. Paris may be a good location for the family as well, we all know Victoria Beckham is in fashion and Paris has a very big art scene. It would add another league too the many European leagues that Beckham has played in. PSG are sitting pretty at the top of the Ligue 1 and that will also attract Beckham, a chance to win another league and another appearance in the prestigious Champions League.

QPR - Newly promoted Queens Park Ranges have been talking about bringing in Beckham to boost their presence in the Premier League. They have started to put together a bit of form and don't look like they are going to get relegated this year but a mid table finish seems likely.

Tottenham - The team Beckham trained with during the last off season. Harry Redknapp was keen on taking the former England captain on loan but an agreement couldn't be met between the two clubs. Tottenham are in good form this season and are pushing for a Champions League shot and that will be a major boost if they want to sign Beckham.

These three clubs are the three that have been mentioned the most but i can't help but think that there will be more teams gunning to have Beckham in the team when the time comes.

Beckham for one last tournament?

Last Hurrah for England?

Surely in the very, very back of his mind he is thinking of a place in Euro2012 squad. A move to Europe followed some impressive performances would surely put him back in the plans of Capello. Fabio Capello needs to get over the fact of his age and think of the best team to win the tournament. When it comes time to choose the squad if Beckham if performing better than half the England team i do not see why he shouldn't get another chance in a major tournament. Then on the other hand if he is playing averagely and not deserved of a place then he shouldn't be taken in a publicity stunt much like he was in the 2010 World Cup.

Any way we might not get the chance to see Beckham in Europe again as his family is a big thing in his life and if they don't want to move i don't see him leaving LA. Victoria's business is set up in LA the kids have spent a big section of their life there and are settled. There could be the option in just David himself moving but with his family adding another member recently he would love to be around his family.

So whether he will move or not we wont really know until day he signs on the dotted line!!

Please Cappello- NEVER pick Beckham for England again- his ego takes over, he'll spend most of the game dropping back out of position and leave the team exposed and the team will become a media circus- the further away he is from the national team the better!

And as for the Olympics! Please Stuart Pearce listen to football not the media.

I don't no if i agree for you on that one if they drop Beckham into centre mid with a Barry or Parker to cover him he could make a difference but yes the side of things take over.

And then what happens, to Lampard or Gerard?

Obviously its not up to me to pick the team but I am guessing Gerrard will be used as a left mid at some point of the tournament and Lampard is continually getting dropped from the England starting XI. Its only an idea though i wouldn't be annoyed if they didn't take Beckham to the Euros but if he is playing well i don't see why not.

I've always felt (and also know a large number of people who also feel) that the Backham 'circus' provides too much of a distraction which eventually drags the England team down and leads to negative performances.

Yeah i definitely agree that with the higher profile players there is a different sort of attention around the England camp and it does cause them to get distracted. This shouldn't effect them though because they are meant to be professionals! All I want is the strongest team to turn out in 2012 and if Beckham has been in the 23 top players that year then he should go.

Media circus? Surely now after all that has happened in recent months you must realise that the England team is a media circus no matter what the squad. Lampard and Gerrard have never really performed for England and Beckham has, on numerous occassions. It is more of a damnation of the current squad and still underperforming players that Beckham is even really mentioned. Would they benefit from his inclusion as a squad player? Yes.
