Ok, for arguments sake, let us get a few things out of the way.

Becks:

1. Wicked right foot, worth it for free kicks alone.

2. Has looked sharp in cameo roles for the national team.

3. Probably went to the US too soon and could do more damage in Europe.

4. World class, for the time being anyway.

Well now that those points have been made, David Beckham to AC Milan in January? Seriously? The side that took on fatty Ronaldo, have signed a lagging yet promising Ronaldinho and have floundered midtable for nearly the last two years, losing nearly every friendly they've played in while making marks in unknown waters for themas '06 Champions League winners in the UEFA Cup.

If they want a deal breaker, a real solution to their right midfeild problem, why not go for a young world class talent with years of service to give? Why not chase some starlets with their legendary club status? Beckham has experience on his side, yet alongisde the likes of Emerson, Maldini, Nesta, Pippo, Zambrotta and Seedorf, Milan are starting to look like a geriatric side in a Sunday league. Beckham would be another bloke with a walker stumbling through the halls of the San Siro.

Milan need to get serious. Their future isn't in Beckham, their future isn't even with Ronaldinho or Kaka. (Well, maybe Kaka.) It's with the Pato's who are coming on strong, and the Gourcoff's they've scared away and loaned out. It could even lay with the Flamini's they enticed for free. It's in world class youth with a nice mix of experience, with experience in abundance in Milan at the moment. Time to use the AC Milan name and entice some world class lads for the future, not names soon to be left in the past.
