Guesty Posted 31 January 2013 Posted 31 January 2013 He must be making some sort of money - there's no point going there to sit on the bench and not earn anything, or maybe I'm just too cynical. Wenger said the other day while he's been training at Arsenal his fitness levels are no where near where they need to be. Why'll it's nice, I'd say it's less hero more great PR, because now everyone's talking about that - and not why has an over-the-hill player whose been playing pub football for the past few years joined one of the top European teams. It's not like he'll miss the money given image/merch rights etc. For all we know he's been given a 5 million signing on bonus.
21st Century Fox Posted 31 January 2013 Posted 31 January 2013 Wow, makes Ibra look like a right c**t.
MC Prussian Posted 31 January 2013 Posted 31 January 2013 I can't see Beckham starting for PSG at all, if the Wenger quote is genuine. I guess he can be used as a super sub with 20, 25 minutes to go. Has a hint of a publicity stunt. But Victoria won't mind - enough boutiques to meet her needs.
Fox92 Posted 31 January 2013 Posted 31 January 2013 Beckham gives money to charity - gets appreciated. (although he is nowhere near a hero). Craig Bellamy has accumulated millions of pounds for charities (as well as establishing a football academy in 2008) - always gets stick.

Fox92 Posted 31 January 2013 Posted 31 January 2013 Do you really have to ask why? Just a point like.
Haydos Posted 31 January 2013 Posted 31 January 2013 Obviously going to PSG for the money but I partially tip my hat to actually going for a competitive league. Eat your words.

Craig Bellamy has accumulated millions of pounds for charities (as well as establishing a football academy in 2008) - always gets stick. Does he? I always hear people saying very appreciative and respectful things about his charity work. Doesn't change the fact he's a little gobshite on the pitch.
21st Century Fox Posted 31 January 2013 Posted 31 January 2013 Eat your words. I will and they are delicious. If I were a cynic I'd probably say it's just a work around the high french taxes and he'll be getting a massive kickback from merch etc while the charity money will just shave some of his taxable income off and smooth over PSG's PR.
Guest MattP Posted 31 January 2013 Posted 31 January 2013 75% tax on high earners in France. Nothing on Image rights.
Bayfox Posted 31 January 2013 Posted 31 January 2013 Just a point like. Both equally generous things to do from both players. But the stick bellamy gets is maybe down to how he conducts himself. He revels in it. Remember once upon a time david beckham was public enemy no1 in england. He hated that and it drove him to redeem himself. Not play up to it. They have both created a public persona. Just in different ways. Who would you want you kids to aspire tobe.
Bayfox Posted 31 January 2013 Posted 31 January 2013 75% tax on high earners in France. Nothing on Image rights. Fcuk thats gonna cost them a lot if they ever pursuade ronaldo there. Or all is money will have to be image rights.

But I wouldn't want my kids to aspire to be him, his body is a mess with all those tatoos.
MC Prussian Posted 31 January 2013 Posted 31 January 2013 75% tax on high earners in France. Nothing on Image rights. Does this take effect whether you work or live there? On a sidenote, David Beckham is only five years younger than PSG.
Kitchandro Posted 31 January 2013 Posted 31 January 2013 Between the two, Beckham is the better role model I suppose. But I wouldn't want my kids to aspire to be him, his body is a mess with all those tatoos. I'd happily have the tatoos if I could have the six pack as well.
21st Century Fox Posted 31 January 2013 Posted 31 January 2013 Does this take effect whether you work or live there? On a sidenote, David Beckham is only five years younger than PSG. Oh shit, yeah
Fox92 Posted 31 January 2013 Posted 31 January 2013 I'd happily have the tatoos if I could have the six pack as well. Have you seen the one on his neck?
Kitchandro Posted 31 January 2013 Posted 31 January 2013 Have you seen the one on his neck? Yeh, not ideal I'll give you that
21st Century Fox Posted 31 January 2013 Posted 31 January 2013 You could always go for a Bellamy sleeve... oozes class and taste
purpleronnie Posted 31 January 2013 Posted 31 January 2013 What a hero this man is. Won't be earning a penny, all going to a local charity. TBH i couldnt imagine not giving my wages if I was worth 100+ million.
Samilktray Posted 31 January 2013 Posted 31 January 2013 Between the two, Beckham is the better role model I suppose. But I wouldn't want my kids to aspire to be him, his body is a mess with all those tatoos. I think your just mad that hes achieved more than Steven Gerrard ever will.
Fox92 Posted 31 January 2013 Posted 31 January 2013 I think your just mad that hes achieved more than Steven Gerrard ever will. I know he has, and what? That doesn't influence my opinion of Beckham, he's still one of the most overrated players. Gerrard is a more complete player, and stayed loyal to the club he loves, Beckham didn't. And if you're on about achievements, Matt Le Tissier is one of my favourite players ever and he basically won nothing.
KFS Posted 31 January 2013 Posted 31 January 2013 Just a point like. Didn't mean to come across like a mardy feck, just really dislike Bellamy!
Raj Posted 1 February 2013 Posted 1 February 2013 Cant believe anyone would slag him off for what he's doing. NO matter what the PR behind it,its still a great gesture to give any amount of cash away let alone millions. Well Done....And he's sexy too...
