I totally agree. No football player in the world is worth this amount of money. Beckham also took a pay cut to join Real. He is only on £90,000 per week now. Such a shame.
How can anybody justify £24.5 million for a football player? It's not as if he is a world class player. How often is he seen dribbling the ball past three or four players and then scoring a goal? Kenny Dalglish, Archie Gemmil are only two players off the top of my head who were world class players. But the most gifted of all has to be George Best.
How would Beckham have faired against these players, or if he had played alongside these players would he be rated world class? I doubt it very much. Professional football is no longer a sport. It is a business. Players used to play more for pride. Why are they all money orientated?
A 1991 Gallup survey indicated that 49 percent of Americans didn't know that white bread is made from wheat.
