Real, my man... you dont feel Beckham could break into the Madrid line-up? I have to say I agree Figo looked superb against Man U; not a shock to me though, hes a great player.... however I pose a question that many would bring up.... do you think Madrid can turn down a Michael Beckham and the revenue he's popularity would bring. I truly feel a signing of Beckham to Madrid and possibly Milan as rumored for awhile would really help yours and my struggle to get America's eyes open to leagues outside the EPL. Someone of that level moving from the EPL to La Liga or Serie A would be a gift to you and me.
Shearer, as a huge Maldini fan myself, and having the opprotunity to meet him and several other players from AC back in '99 when I was there training with the youth squad... let me ask you, what particularly about his game drew you to his side?
