This weekend Sky Sports News had an obvious observation, one that bared repeating. David Beckham has a lot of suitors around the world. Given the chance at three months of service from one of the world's biggest football brands, almost any club would buy a red carpet to roll out for him The SSN punditry then intimated Becks could be bound for Germany, an idea Rafael Honigstein entertained at Sport Illustrated, providing context on a possible (though highly-unlikely) move to Bayern Munich.
Blackburn Rovers Confirm David Beckham Interest
Amongst the lower profile aspirants, Blackburn Rovers would certainly benefit from a Beckham sojourn, though landing him is a much longer shot than bagging Ronaldinho, another interest point the Venky's confirmed earlier today. Beckham's reportedly an exemplary teammate and would be a short term move (with a proportional financial commitment). Ronaldinho is a much larger commitment. Whereas the Brazilian is a fit for an ambitious upstart, Beckham also fits in with an established team. Say, Spurs.
So while the Venky’s confirmation puts them in the queue, they’re unlikely to be picked from it, no matter how wide Venky’s chairwoman Anuradha Desai opens the door. From the BBC:
Desai also revealed that Rovers had made attempts to sign David Beckham, 35, on loan from Los Angeles Galaxy.
She added the club were “open whenever he is ready to come”.
Spurs or Blackburn? London or Lancashire? Champions League or potentially a bigger, though limited, payday? Put yourself in Beckham’s Calvins, and this is less compelling than one of his wife’s old concerts. Regardless, Blackburn’s again got their club in the news.
