David Beckham joins Tottenham... sort of... for training... until mid-February

[TwoSaintsComeMarching]

But do we want the whole world watching on Sunday? Knowing our history against this shits ManUre. Im really not looking forward to it...

 

[Bulletspur]

I know some of the purists will disagree or cry commercialism but in the interests of the club long-term we should get him on board and give him some minutes on Sunday

Apparently money is not the issue (there's no loan fee, he's paying his own insurance and we'll pay him the same as top earners) and it's about only having him for 2 months vs 1 month

In which case we should sign him for just the month. We've already had some good publicity and there are probably a few people who will have bought Spurs shirts just because he's been pictured in one in training. But really, if he signs he'll be on nearly every sports bulletin, and in every newspaper's sports section in the world.

And if we put out noises that he'll play some part on Sunday it'll probably be one of the most watched premiership games (globally) in recent years. Again he'll probably feature in every bulletin and paper on Sunday night/Monday morning.

All promoting Spurs the brand, our style of play, White Hart Lane and, no doubt, how we've been brilliant in the CL this season. Football-wise there are a number of positions we can bring him on for, for the last 10-15 mins and he can do a job. And it's already been reported how all the players have a spring in their step the last 24hrs so it's hardly going to upset the apple cart.

It's a big opportunity and difficult to see a downside so I'd be amazed if Levy misses it - as smart as he always is. This will also help us to secure a top striker rather than distract us, as that other thread said

Why? And play him at whose expense? Its not all about Beckham. You make it sounds as if he is bigger than THFC when he is not. IMO we could really do without this circus and concentrate on doing things our way which we have done quite well so far without him.

Anyone watching Hansen on BBC after Wet Spam game?

'What they need is a left back'

The man is the definition of the word 'Tool'. And not the one that belongs in a tool box.

Well I only said 15 mins and clearly would be for whoever looked the worst/most tired across the middle. I didn't say Beckham is bigger than the club at all. Quite the opposite. This is all about the club rather than pleasing him. It's more PR in 15 mins (with a player who can probably still cut the mustard in short spells) than a decade of dull, energy sapping summer tours

More importantly Ledley was training today.

Well that was short lived unfortunately, he's done his groin again :bang:

Terrible news...

 

[BringBack_leGin]

I don't know why, but I think I'd have been more upset if Woodgate had broken down again. It might even be a blessing in disguise. If King is out for too long to justify putting him in the 25, say because of an operation, then we might keep Woodgate who, though just as likely to break down, is able to play consecutive games one after another when he is fit.

 

[nailsy]

It's so sad that Ledley has been injured so much this year. I was really hopeful that he'd be able to perform in Europe for us.

Honesty or a ploy from Harry before we name Beckham on the bench this Sunday?​

What's Becks gonna do? Come on a half time to do a few star jumps and some keepy uppy? :shrug:

 

[matjcole]

Well with all the talk about a possible loan still to happen I think that it could be a ploy. I think if nothing is done by this weekend it may as well be forgotten as then it would only be a possible 9 games he could play.

 

[MilkyBarYid]

Well he is injured now anyway so it's a moot point.

blister on his foot.

Probably tripped in that giant pothole outside Spurs Lodge

 

[Gassin's finest]

It's those crappy blades he's wearing. Get some proper boots!

 

[nikosramone]

can't remember rightly, but was there this much media attention when he was training with the scum?

 

[Keano]

Little kid with a 77 beckham shirt on SSN lol

No, but Mr. Child Molester said clearly at the time that there was no talk of a loan so things are different with us.
