It's quite funny to see all this speculation about Becks because as soon as you understand the Galaxy's position all the talk becomes pointless. If I remember correctly, this is Beckham's last year of his contract and I don't think there is a chance he'll re-sign or the Galaxy will want to re-sign him. As such, the ball is in the Galaxy's court as they don't have to pander to him.

Although he may have produced for them off the pitch, I'm thinking that he's under-preformed on the pitch and they'd like to see him do more work on the pitch in his last season. As such, they'll want to him to stay with the team so they can prepare for the season as a unit and, more importantly, avoid another bad injury.

The only way I can see him playing in the BPL this season is through a transfer, the Galaxy would get a pay-off and be able to complete a proper search for an adequate replacement.

interesting list on the score website
I admire his dedication and commitment to producing that list but... It's pretty weak.
