The top sports story in the world, is David Beckham going to AC Milan via a 3 month loan deal.
Since we're Rossoneri supporters and much less so of the Beckham circus, we'll breakdown why this move is actually really good for both parties involved.
David Beckham's Benefits
1. First and foremost this move strokes his ego, and he'll be able to look back and say he's played for the 3 largest clubs in England, Spain, & Italy.
2. It will also give him one last hurrah, in Europe where football is everything.
3. If he wants to get back on the English National Team, this is his chance.
4. He's back in the news - In case people are starting to forget about him, he has just popped back up in one of the fashion and media capitals of Europe.
AC Milan Benefits
1. While the details have not been released, you know Milan will make out on jersey sales, and with 82,000 seats in the San Siro, ticket revenue will go up.
2. Milan is loaded up front with Kaka, Ronaldinho, and company. At 33 Beckham best ability is his long ball passes, which fills a vacant role for this side.
3. Even if he's a complete flop, Maldini and his teammates will carry on like nothing happen.
I was very critical of his move to the MLS, saying it focused more on entertainment value then world class football. His on field role in Milan will be completely different from LA, plus he's coming into a side comprised of world class veterans where he'll be a role player and sub. Therefore the both sides should benefit.
