beckham is obviously dying to play real football again instead of the sugar puffs league he has to put up with. never should have went to LA so soon while 37 year old giggs is still playing in massive high profile games

It seems strange to do a proper medical including hospital visit etc.
If he is just coming to train why would they do this.
Henry was training at arsenal today but there was no talk of a medical there.

I know he's just recently come back from injury, has he played any games since? Maybe he hasn't proven himself fit to anyone since his injury or something. Or maybe the Yanks just don't trust us...

He's played some games for them since the injury, as I missed out on meeting him by a game or two as he was just coming back to fitness when I went to watch :cry:

I expect that anyone involved in our training, especially professional players, all have to have tests done to ascertain their fitness levels, and any current niggles or knocks. This is usually most likely in order to make sure the training he does is the right stuff he needs, but in this case is also probably quite useful in terms of insurance issues with LA Galaxy.

Did i read somewhere that his contract at Galaxy runs out in November ?? Surely he would be better off just buying himself out of the contract now ?? His wife is pregnant, the kids are back in England, it would be like having a holiday just being on home soil, i dont know how the bloke does it with all this flying around the world & playing football etc ... no wonder he hasnt got time for a shave or a haircut !!!

If he see's out his contract doesn't he get something to do with a new MLS franchise or something?

I guess he won't take that up if he is moving the family back to england to have the baby or maybe he could be part of the new franchise from over here ? :shrug:

His boots are odd!

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/fo...way-Essex-star-arrives-Tottenham-medical.html

This link was posted earlier but if you scroll down to the picture of him arriving at the training ground with a pair of white boots in his hand, - he is carrying 1 pair of boots, and 1 pair of trainers. The right boot, has moulded white blade type studs. The left boot has metal tipped blade type studs.

Seems a bit strange to me.

Bit of extra grip on the planting foot? Obviously never uses his left foot then.

That is what I like about Becks. He really does micromanage everything when it comes to football. The only thing really he lets get in his way is Posh. If he put a muzzle on her he'd still be at Utd.
