a1canary 0 Posted January 11, 2007 I''m not sure i believe this. New reports are talking of a 5 year deal worth 128 million! That''s 25million a year and just about half a million a week. That must make him the highest paid footballer in history. Probably about 3 times over. Where is all the money in the MLS? It''s not like they have the crowds to support that kind of outlay. Or maybe they do...Posh is gonna love swanning around LA spending all that money - must have been what swung it! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Duke of Norfolk 0 Posted January 11, 2007 I just wish Beckham and his wife would just dissapear off the face of the planet. I couldn''t care less about them.She must have brain washed him i reckon.So a deal worth £128 million and yet his Dad still works his butt off to make ends meet as a plumber.
