Would You?

moore06 · July 25, 2008

Im so bored with this summer i wanna ask everyone here a hypothetical question. Before i ask please keep in mind i know this would NEVER EVER EVER EVER EVER HAPPEN. So please save the smart ass comments. But would you happy if we signed David Beckham?. Like i said i know there is NO CHANCE of this happening. But im bored and wanted to get a English perspective on him. Would you like to see him a blue jersey. Like i said guys please save the smart ass comments.

I can see some descent crosses coming in from the right for Tim and the YAK...

I wouldn't mind Beckham playing for us to be honest. he's never been a quick player but his delivery on crosses, corners and free kicks is second to none.

He would be a great signing.

He could even perhaps influence some of the bigger names to come and join us...

Only way I can see him ever at Everton is if he decided to buy the club!...

Think he's enjoying life in LA, unless he really really wants to keep playing for England and feels that Premier League football is what'll take to get him there...

Not for me.

ToxtethBlue · July 25, 2008

Nope. He offers noting in open play, he'd be useful for corners and set pieces but that's it.

He also plays in Arteta's position and Mikky is better.

Me neither. Can hardly play 60 minutes for England so I dread to think how he'd fare in the Premier League these days. Wages would be crazy, too much of a 'luxury' signing to blend with the rest of the team.

Still got the goods when crossing or taking set pieces admitedly, but wouldn't get in to any of the top teams in England imo.

It would have to be on a pay as you play deal (y)

No thanks, not for me. He's to old now.

TX Bill · July 25, 2008

Absolutely.

Watched him against West Ham last night.

He's still got it.

DENNIS STEVENS · July 25, 2008

there's no denying his talent, or the fact he's getting older & slower. if moyes felt he could do a job for us & the club negotiated the right deal i'd have no complaints.

manxtoffee · July 25, 2008

He'll never play for another premiership club, besides no one bar Chelski & Real could afford to pay the wages he'd want?
I quite like the fella and IMO the best crosser/long range passer in the game at the moment.
Too much of a luxury for Everton me thinks.

jtalent1878 · July 25, 2008

he's good at set pieces, which is one of our weak points atm, although he has passed it a bit so only a squad player.

ToffeeArab · July 25, 2008

Arteta puts in a good enough ball that beckham wouldn't be needed imo.

Then again im scottish and think Beckham is possibly the most overated player to ever grace the game.
