Beckham and Villa?

[redlancer]

He was apparently shown round Melwood and Anfield a couple of years back when Rafa first came in and Beckham looked to be leaving Real Madrid. Obviously nothing materialised so whether the story was true or false I have no idea. I remember an interview with him as well where he was asked bout playing for other clubs in the prem like us or Arsenal etc... and he said that it wouldn't bother him as both were "fantastic teams". So it's possible that he would be happy to play for us.

I still wouldn't want him at Anfield though.

remember that on koptalk, must of come from Steive himself

If people think Beckham would come to us, you are seriously seriously deluded.

[Poker]

Beckham, wont happen
Villa, wont happen
Reina to Valencia, wont happen

Well the only way Villa would come here is if Valencia put having a top goal keeper ahead of a top striker and goal keepers ae easier to find than top strikers these days

Aye

BUT I think there are better wingers out there.

To be honest i cant see many world class wingers in football currently that we could afford or would come to us

I'd be very surprised if Beckham came to LFC. I couldn't see Rafa wanting his media circus & equally I couldn't see him wanting to come to LFC. He's always said he'd only ever play for Man Utd in England, & I think he'll go to Inter.

As for Villa, who knows but the Reina to valencia link won't go away. They need a new keeper & Reina is an obvious choice. Presumably, Reina is happy at LFC but you never know, he might want to return to spain.
Would Rafa include Reina in any possible Villa deal, depends on how much he wants villa. If Rafa is desperate for him, then he may include reina but it would surprise me.

The whole Reina - villa deal seems unlikely, particularly in Jan, but the summer is a possibility but I'm not holding my breath.

I'd be surprised if Beckham did come to us - he's always bangin on about ManUre . However, he IS the kind of player Rafa likes - he works his socks off and is suposedly a model pro [also I reckon Stevie'd love him at Anfield for 18 months. I'd take him on loan like a shot - but I just can't see past the Manc past.

What worries me is whether the Beckham thing is coming from Rafa or whether the would be owners see this as a good marketing ploy and aren't considering the footballing merits. The last thing I want is an owner that foists players upon the manager. If Rafa wants him then fair do's. If the wouldbe owners want him then its very worrying indeed.

I remember my dad bought me an all white Sergio Tacchini Shell suit from one of his trips abroad and everytime I wore it in Liverpool I'd have scallies coming up to me asking where I got it from. At the age of 13 I was made to feel as the king of shell suits. Those were proud days.

On football grounds your right however on purely commercial terms the new owners might use him as a marketing tool to dramatically increase our revenues is the far east and asia
