Take it

Is anyone worth £100,000 answer NO! but man u have to keep him he creates a massive amount of goals with his pin point cross and passes.

But if they give him big money Giggs, Stam, York, Cole all there contracts are to be discused this year htey will want the same amount.

No way is he worth that. And thats after tax aswell!!!

Methinks its prolly for paying off all the money stupid spice is going to waste in that recording studio he bought for her.

in a word - yes

Look at last weekend alone, he causes so much trouble with his ability with a ball. His pass for the 3rd goal, with the outside of his left boot past the entire defence to Luke Chadwick was amazing. There are not many players about who could do that

Letting him go would be criminal, he's not even at his peak yet ffs!

of course he is.
man utd are no longer a football club, they are first and foremost a plc.
as such their sole goal in existing is profit.
dave beckham, as already stated, is a world class proven performer who could still improve further.
the real clincher here however is that as a plc they generate much of their income from merchandise. dave beckham is a merchandising god. no one wants paul scholes bedclothes. no one wants phil neville baseball caps. beckham will produce huge revenue.
furthermore, his 25000 a week wage bill, plus bonuses, plus training costs, everything that utd have spent on him since he joined them as a kid, added together, doesnt come close to the 12million they spent on yorke. and who produces more revenue and who is more essential to the soccer side of operations?
beckham of course.
if he can get the money out of a plc then he clearly deserves it. it is a market economy people. idiots sometimes do well. suck it up

Well, come on now lads, let's be fair. A man has gotta find SOME way to pay for his skirts - sarongs don't come cheap these days, you know. Cut the dreamboat some slack.

he he he he.
