As a player he's fairly one-dimensional - phenomenal crosser and free-kick wizard sure, but once he lost the pace to run past people - and he has lost that pace - he became a bit of a one-trick pony, which is why Real don't need him any more He could do a job in the States, particularly for his sponsors

Becks may be a one trick pony, but what's going on at Real Madrid is laughable. They spend money like a drunken sailor and still have nothing to show for it. Some of the biggest names in football ended up in Madrid- Zidane, Ronaldo, Figo, van Nistelrooy, Cannavaro, etc, and they haven't done much better than Beckham did. I detest Baraclona, but hope they dominate La Liga now.
