City miss out on Beckham shocker
I was going to save this for April 1st, but by that stage Becks will probably be long forgotten.
It was amusing to see a few papers and websites running stories that City were about to make an audacious bid to bring Golden Balls back to Manchester and great to see Stuart Pearce playing along with the gag.
To be fair though, Becks fits the profile of a typical City signing; declining career, too old, legs gone, unaffordable wages, delusions of self-importance and viewing our club as some sort of pension fund.
It puts the distorted football, or should I say " sahcur" market into perspective that Beckham will earn in a week roughly what we sold Ben Thatcher to Charlton for, although some might say that's probably just about right.
I was however pleased to hear Becks say that his primary reason for this unexpected move was so that he could help "take football to a new level in the USA". Now there was me thinking he was just doing it for the money !

I see Psycho has changed tactics and gone in completely the opposite direction signing a unknown 20 year old Frenchman from a Second Division side....does he know something we don't ???
This french lad that we signed on loan plays in the 2nd division and has only clocked up 170 minutes on the field this season.
I hope Pearce is right about him, because I can't see the point about taking a gamble on someone else's academy-level player when we've already got a few of our own who need to be given a chance and we know more about.
Good but i think you shold do some more articles
