Lucas has had a couple of seasons to step-up and for the most part he hasn't IMHO, let's at least give Poulson a chance before he becomes this years scapegoat.

Whereabouts in London you're likely to be is generally a good start?

Gazza started it, all the talent in the world, played abroad, paid a fortune and lived a celebrity lifestyle, difference being he was a pisshead and a prick. Doesnt anyone remember Gazzamania, the s**** single he released as well as the video games and promoting Brut?

England journo in massive hyperbole shocker....

I f***in hope so, Crouch is poor, and with Carra likely to start at CB this year it will likely revert to him t***ting the ball 60 yards up the pitch to nowhere trying to find Crouch's head.

Not really sure you can lay the blame for that at Beckhams door, theres been plenty of pin-up boys in the premier league before and after Beckham. I'd argue more about the ludicrous f***ing wages being paid and the hype surrounding the champions league which has made it more important than the world cup, certainly for Englands bunch of 'superstars' . FWIW I think Beckham was a decent enough captain and certainly showed a lot more desire for England than the likes of Terry and especially that c*** Ashley Cole have ever done.

115 caps for his country and many as captain to be fair to him, thats a great achievement.

YES! A man who knows his cebollas!

Far more of a concern if you ask me.

Beacuse he wants off, no sense keeping a player who doesnt want to stay, espcially given the current financial situation. Don't get me wrong if he changes his mind and stays i'll be fecking delighted, I love him as a player, but If we're resigned to losing him then replacing him with someone like Poulson, and for around £5M isnt half as bad as some on here are making out.

Youve got me wrong mate Torres loves the club and wants to stay, whereas Masch has been wanting away for over a year. I'm not saying we should f*** him off, we're a far better team for having him in the side, but if he WANTS to leave and we are in a position to get £30M or so for him to rebuild the squad with then its good business. Weve got pretty good cover there now IMO, it would be far far worse to lose torres or gerrard who are indispensible as we wouldnt be able to replace them with anyone near as good with the limited money Roy has to spend.

For a club in a dire financial position with a £30M rated player who doesnt want to be here? Nah.

He can, but he gives away a f*** load of fouls to go with it, particularly in defensive areas where he doesnt always need to make a challenge. I didnt mean he cant tackle so dont get me wrong on that one.
