...is none other than David Beckham! Surprised myself to only a certain extent, Beckham has officially signed to the MLS team for five years. Part of it as attempt to increase the importance of Soccer as a major sport in the US.

Frankly, I'm excited.

Was always going to happen for the reason below

1 - He has his soccer schools there so it's convenient
2 - The money he's getting is CRAZZZZY
3 - His wife loves publicity what better publicity than Hollywood?
4 - Some of His best friends (tom cruise ect) live near
5 - Thought id of loved to see him return to england i don't think anyone wanted him

But that aside its a great signing and a loss to Madrid imo yeah he aint as good as he used to be but he's still as class player, easily the best player in dead ball situations imo

VERDICT - great move for him $$$$$$$$$$$$$$

[Zac]

This is a very exciting thing to happen in America

VERDICT - great move for him $$$$$$$$$$$$$$

Yep. $128 million if I'm not mistaken.

[Zac]

250 million

[Matt]

OK, then it was £128 million rather than $128 million.

And he says he's not in it for the money ¬_¬

[Kay B]

To be honest he has more than enough money already, he's more into the fame he will get out of it rather than the money imo

[Crow]

im sure if they offered him less he would have still gone

[the boney king of nowhere.]

a million dollars a week... jesus christ.

He's being offered that much because he's close friends with the owners of the LA Galaxy, which is the primary reason, but he's also got a line of shirts/shoes that he wants to promote, and nowhere better than LA.
