This is MAJOR news: David Beckham has agreed "to move to Real Madrid":http://www.timesonline.co.uk/article/0,,27-717461,00.html in a UK$25million deal. Gosh. That's a whole lot of moolah for a player whose ONLY forte is a wicked-bending free kick. Oh, ok - he's got a "pop star wife":http://www.atpictures.com/victoria/ and his name alone on your jersey will sell them like hotcakes. In a football world that is not only football anymore but about how many replica shirts and silly scarves you can sell - this is certainly "good business for Real Madrid":http://www.sky.com/skynews/article/0,,30100-1094380,00.html, and Man United who will no longer have to put up with his exorbitant wages (UK$100,000 a WEEK) and the Beckham-media-circus.
One wonders how often he'll actually get to play in "a superstar team like Real Madrid":http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/cms.dll/html/uncomp/articleshow?msid=28634 that already have Figo, Zidane, Macca, Makele powering their midfield.
