Football365 claim to have inside information (one informant
has suggested that the insider's initials are DD) that
Arsenal are planning a summer bid for David Beckham,
and that the club is confident of getting their man
(see report).
According to the report, Manchester United have recently rejected
a £26 million offer from Barcelona, but Arsenal are expecting
to be able to prise him away for just £18 million.
Something does not add up here! Sure,so Posh would like him to
move down south to be near their home and her family, but
I'm sure she wouldn't mind (and I think she's even
said she'd prefer) living somewhere warm and
mediterranean, with fashion shows.
They also point out that United manager Alex Ferguson has
become increasingly unhappy with Beckham's off-pitch antics,
but I find it hard to accept that Arsène Wenger would be any more lenient. Although it comes as no surprise
that Beckham's petulant and violent on-pitch behaviour is
not a cause of major concern to Sir Alex, I'm sure that it
would be to most Arsenal fans. If this is a leak direct from
DD, surely he jests?!
Ferguson himself predicted an eventual move to Arsenal for Beckham,
back
at the start of the season.
