Speaking as a non biased footy fan, Beckham must have something to offer otherwise why are several Premiership clubs so keen to sign him (for however long), they all must be biased United fans also.

Shirt sales?

TBH I really cannot see how a side that are doing as well as Tottenham are at the moment really need the media merry go round that is associated with Beckham. IMO it will only de-stabilise them rather than help.

Still, Harry knows best I guess.

If Beckham coming in would de-stabalise them then they may aswell give up now. If they are going for the title the media hype will start to intensify anyway. Beckham will not be a starter at Spurs - no way, but he could add to the squad.

Spurs certainly don't NEED him, i think that's a given, but he'll make a nice luxury bencher, coming on for 30/35 minutes, and maybe popping up with a goal or two, or whipping in a cross for an assist that maybe Lennon or VDV couldn't quite deliver. The extra goal or two could make the difference between 4th and 5th given this tight season.

If that is the case how come the mighty LA Galaxy have won fork all when he has been with them?

Why aren't United in for him? Could do a job with Valencia out.

Who's saying he has nothing to offer? The question is whether a side who desperately want CL qualification can justify bringing in the Beckham circus for two months and not damaging their prospects.

If the signing of loan signing of David Beckham was likely to add so much to a side, then why aren't Man Utd fans clamouring for him to return home rather than playing for a rival? There's no way Beckham would go to Spurs if he could go to United.

I actually wouldn't have minded. It's probably financial the issue and the Beckham circus, which is why Fergie got rid. Tom Cleverley might return, he's tearing it up at Wigan.

He is a circus act and finished. A joke.

He's still twice the player of any of the current Scottish internationals though.
