David Beckham to sign for West Ham?

Ok, the headline that David Beckham signs for West Ham got your attention, didn’t it lads?

What would the fans think of Beckham coming to London and hanging his boots up in style at West Ham? Lest we forget, David Beckham is an East Ender and ending his days at the Hammers would be both awesome for him and the team.

Becks was born in Leytonstone in 1975 and has played for the likes of Preston North End, Manchester United, Real Madrid and currently with LA Galaxy.The guy is a living legend and I for one have always enjoyed David’s flair and finesse. He is also one of the finest dead ball artists this planet and the next has ever seen and has proved this with every club he’s been to.

It’s not such a wild and kooky idea either. At the moment, the world is his oyster with interest coming in from France, Australia, China, Dubai and the Premier League to get Becks to sign on the dotted line and contract his services.

No doubt, he’d be a hit at West Ham and he knows it. He’s got the gutsy determination like captain Nolan and doesn’t take second best. He could move back to Sawbridgeworth in Hertfordshire and it would be a nice little ride down to East London in one of his fancy cars to the Boleyn Ground. it doesn’t get better than that, does it?

David Beckham would provide the youngsters at the Hammers with years of experience – all learnt at some of the top clubs in the world. Beckham would fit in perfectly with Allardyce’s plans, too. He could use the number 23 like Ferguson used Michael Owen at Manchester United. He used Owen in a nice and gentle role with no pressure. Beckham would love it; free kick here, long pass there – choice!

David Beckham has so many options open for him in December when he leaves his current club and any team or manager with half a brain would love to have him at their club. I would be happy for David Gold esquire to dip into his Arthur Daly style coat pockets and pull out his checkbook.

Even David Gold himself said:

“He’s an East End boy and it would be a fitting end to his career.”

He would be a real asset to the East London Club and apart from selling shed loads of West Ham kit with the number 23 on it he’d be the perfect playmaker.
