its a gud thing for beckham to move out of bernabeau.. its unfair for a player who has contributed much to the club be sidelined..

 

personally, i think tat he made a wise decision to play for LA Galaxy.. he's sure to get the first team plays which he seldom gets at real..

[Man V.1]

why he never join Figo go Al-Ittihad..? haha!

[LimHammett]

not suprisingly.. i dun see beckham as a footballer now..

 

i just see him as a marketing tool.. u get him.. means u get $$$$ too...

[SiNDRi]

Well, although i'm not a fan of Bechkam... i see it as a gd exposure for soccer scene in U.S.... rather than money making for him....

 

Yes, he's paid higher than TT Durai.. but at least he'll b bowing out in few years time in high note, rather than fading away being overshadowed by better player in other league....

 

Gd move...

Exactly, my sentiments. He was such a pest that it was entertaining to see him lose and give non-sportsmanlike comments.

MADRID (AFP) - - Florentino Perez, the favourite to win June elections for Real Madrid president, has reached an agreement with AC Milan to sign Brazilian star Kaka, a newspaper reported Monday.

Real will pay 60 million euros (80 million dollars) for the midfielder under the accord Perez reached during a meeting with AC Milan vice-president Adriano Galliani on March 16, sports daily Marca reported.

 

But possible offers from Chelsea and Manchester City, who are both interested in the 2007 FIFA World Player of the Year, could complicate the Brazilian international's transfer to Real, the newspaper added.

 

Kaka, who turns 27 later this month, is under contract with Milan through 2013.

 

Perez is also interested in signing Spanish international midfielders Xabi Alonso, 27, from Liverpool and Cesc Fabregas, 21, from Arsenal, it said.

 

Perez served as Real president between 2000 and 2006 when the Spanish giants signed a series of big name players such as Portugal's Luis Figo and England's David Beckham, earning the club the nickname the "Galacticos".

 

The elections for Real president will be held either on June 7 or 14.

 

Perez has not yet said if he intends to stand in the election but Spanish media are certain of his return and polls show he is the big favourite.

[RedGixxer688]

This coming from the same team that proclaimed that Ronaldo has agreed to pay for Real after this season, failing which, he would have to pay them compensation? Dream on Real!!

[SgBuzz]

Don't you know that their best tactic to buy a player is to use the media?

Germany goalkeeper Enke commits suicide

AFP - Wednesday, November 11

 

HANOVER, Germany (AFP) - – German international goalkeeper Robert Enke has been killed after he threw himself under a train at a level crossing, police said on Tuesday.

 

"There has been fatality at a level crossing at Neustadt am Rubenberge," police spokeswoman Martina Stern told AFP.

 

"He threw himself under a train and died of his injuries. It was definitely suicide," she added.

 

Jorg Neblung, a close friend and advisor to the six-times capped goalkeeper, also confirmed it was suicide.

 

"I can confirm that it was suicide," he said.

 

"Robert took his own life shortly before six o'clock (1700GMT).

 

"A press conference in Hannover on Wednesday will reveal more details," he added.

 

The 32-year-old Germany and Hannover 96 goalkeeper - who leaves a widow and a daughter of eight months who they adopted in May three years after their two-year-old daughter died of a heart illness - had been suffering from an intestinal infection.

 

He pulled out of the Germany squad two days ahead of their 4-0 World Cup qualifying victory over Azerbaijan in early September.

 

However, recently he had professed himself delighted to have returned to training last month.

 

"It has been a long time, almost a quarter of the season. However, once I resumed training I felt really well," said Enke, who played his last match for the club in Sunday's 2-2 draw with Hamburg.

 

His death left those closest to him both personally and professionally in total shock.

 

"We're in shock. I don't know what to say," said national manager Oliver Bierhoff, who along with national coach Joachim Lowe informed his fellow international team-mates - who are preparing for a friendly with Chile this weekend, of the tragedy.

 

His club president Martin Kind was left stunned.

 

"It is a total catastrophe. I am finding it hard to understand," said Kind.

 

Later around 300 of the club's fans and several of his club-mates gathered outside the club's offices as a mark of respect with some laying down bouquets of flowers and lighting candles.

 

Enke was understudy to then first-team 'keeper Jens Lehmann during the 2008 European championships and had been in line to fill his boots before being taken ill in September and October.

 

During that time his rival Rene Adler increased his chances of taking over the role in the national team who have qualified for the 2010 World Cup finals.

 

Enke had also at one time been linked with a move to German giants Bayern Munich where the former German Under-21 international Michael Rensing had not impressed in his first season between the posts.

 

However, Uli Hoeness, Bayern's general manager, had made clear they were not interested in paying the 10million euros transfer fee.

 

Several people had advised Enke, who had previously had spells at Benfica, Barcelona and Tenerife, to leave Hannover for a more prestigious club and one that was playing in European club competition so he would improve his chances of becoming German number one.

Cesc Fabregas had a heart to heart talk with his mentor Arsene Wenger with regards to his potential transfer to Barcelona. Once again, Arsenal is going to make exponential returns if the deal pulls through. Arsene Wenger is really a money making machine.
