Beckham coming home?

The rumour mill is running and some UK newspapers have begun to say that Beckham will be basing his family back in London, but the he will not be playing for a premiership team.
As might be expected, top of the heap for speculation is the aborted move to PSG, it may be back on and Beckham will be able to 'commute' to Paris (approx. 280 miles) by Eurostar, although I am sure a helicopter ride may be more in keeping with the Beckham lifestyle.

Where will Beckham go next?

As the MLS season comes to an end, speculation is mounting over which way Beckham will turn when it comes to signing a new contract.

I have to say that the easiest option would surely be to stay with the Galaxy, or even switch to a different MLS team with the option of an MLS franchise in the future. Gathering momentum now (thanks to the Daily Mail and various French newspapers) is the proposed move to PSG under former AC Milan head coach Leonardno. Speculation is fuelled by the fact that PSG have new wealthy owners who would like to make an immediate impact by bringing in some big names.

No doubt Mrs Beckham would feel quite at home in Paris, but it is doubtful that Beckham will want to drag the family away from LA, unless it was a move back to the UK.

I am still of the opinion that Tottenham is the most likely premiership team who will be able to swing the deal unless Sir Alex has a sudden change of heart (which is not likely).

When you look at all the options and factor in the fact that Beckham is highly unlikely to get another shot at an international appearance, I believe The Galaxy looks like the option that keeps most people happy. However, there is no knowing what Beckham's personal ambitions are - so there is always the chance of a surprise.

Beckham going nowhere

With the words 'David is not for sale...at any price', The LA Galaxy board are moving to quash rumours about a possible move to Newcastle United. Insisting that no approach has been made, and reiterating that Beckham is a long-term deal as far as the Galaxy are concerned, the new Galaxy President Alexi Lalas emphasised that there is no truth in the story.
Even a loan period which might have been regarded as vaguely possible has been absolutely ruled out.

Beckham eyed by Newcastle

There is a rumour, and it should be stressed that this is pure speculation... that Newcastle United owner Mike Ashley is preparing to make a bid for David Beckham, currently training at Arsenal in preparation for the England friendly on February 6th.
Having just performed the miracle of bringing Kevin Keegan back to Newcastle, you wouldn't bet against a man that could do that...!
This would surely just be a short-term loan deal whilst the MLS is on it's off-season- I'm not convinced that he would be prepared to come back to the Premiership without having fulfilled his promise in America. I can't see the Beckham family swapping the LA lifestyle for a new gaff in the 'toon', however passionate the Geordies might be about their football. But then.... you never know.... I watched Arsenal getting whupped 5-1 by a high-riding Tottenham tonight, I bet it crossed Arsene Wenger's mind to bring out Beckham as the fifth goal went in...
