With Beckham leaving LA... does this mean the end for Lamps?

Featured Replies

I'd hate to say it is, but it seems like Beckham leaving LA at the end of the MLS Cup means a spot in the roster and the salary cap has opened up for their long-awaited move for Lampard.

Thoughts?

It is possible. They have said a number of times they would like Frank to play for them. I guess its up to Frank really. He is running out of contract so the future is in his hands. I dont think he will leave us in January though. It would really surprise me if he did.

I wonder where Beckham will go next. China?

Snoop Dogg is trying to persuade him to join Celtic according to the gutter press in Scotland.

You've said pretty much what I did this morning on the "Mail seems to think Frank's off" thread. Discovering that Beckham's leaving Galaxy wasn't good news to wake up to - what Beckham does matters not a jot to me but I can see it affecting Frank's decisions and that does trouble me.

Wait, Snoop Dogg? I guess that's that then. If the most influential man in modern day football is trying to entice him to Celtic there's not a lot we can do.

I would think that he will stay in America, from what i have read his family are settled there and dont want to move.

It doesn't really make a whole lot of sense for Beckham to leave LA and go to another MLS side, does it? LA is the glitz and glamour capital of the country and, like you said, he's settled.

I'm expecting a move to a cup-competing club. PSG or maybe back to Milan.

He gets a lot of hassle at Galaxy. Maybe he could move to another team and have a nicer time with it. I just dont see his family moving. Why would the likes of PSG or Milan want him now? China would make him a lot of money but i cant see his family all going over there.

I want Beckham to come here!

I'd take him for 6 months as well. I know it's ridicluous cos he's 37 now and we've got other options, but he's one of the few players who I always wish we'd bought at some point.

Can you begin to fathom the nautical levels of rage that would erupt from Old Trafford if it happened? :laugh2:

Oh wait, I'd love for it to happen!

Lampard won't be going anywhere in January. He will stay until the end of the season. He's due a £4M loyalty bonus if he sees out his contract.

I have a different perspective than most of you, considering LA is my local team.

Beckham is still a fantastic player, at least in the MLS. He's in great shape, and he still bends a pass better than anyone. And to his credit, he finally started taking his MLS move seriously a couple seasons ago. He pissed off a lot of fans early on when he came....then left.....then came.....then left. But the last few seasons, he's been here, and he's busted his butt on the pitch. I'll be sad to see him go. I actually just bought tickets to MLS Cup, so I can watch his farewell game in person.

I would also love to see Lampard eventually move to LA. It's no secret that he's running out of time at Chelsea. BUT......losing Beckham and adding Lamps will make Galaxy worse, not better. Let me explain. We've got Keane, Donovan (unless he leaves too), and Buddle. Goal scoring isn't a problem. What we'll lack without Beckham is quality service. Lampard can do that, but he's not Beckham in that department. He'd bang in some long shots, but he's not going to drop 40 yard benders right on Keane's foot from out wide. And that's what we need.

So it'll be interesting to see what happens. I don't think Lampard-to-LA is as "done" as some people seem to think. That being said, football impact aside, LA will want the next big name from Europe to fill Beckham's shoes. And if that happens to be Lamps, then they'll probably make a run at him.

It's their end of season in December so he'd be available in January.

I think the Lampard to the MLS has been on the cards for a while, and if Beckham does leave, then it will make space for him in LA and I feel that Beckham may be tempted. He'll have seen Beckham extend his career over there, and I think Beckham will have positive things to say to him about the MLS and LA.

I can see this happening in the summer

Beckhams going to West ham on a 1 year deal.

I believe that Lamps will go to the stes next summer and i heard a whisper that JT will be following too. I sincerely hope not though.

Beckham has always been quality, no one produces more industry than that man. There was a time when almost every single goal for England came through Becks, it was insane. I could see him going to Italy because they do love aged players over there. I could definitely see Beckham in an AC Milan shirt and Italy would be the fashionable choice for a fashionable guy lol. Not so sure it is a great move for his marriage though..... those Italian birds... yes please!

You heard a whisper ? from who ? Terry will finish his career here, if he didn't then i would be very disappointed.

The team Physio Eva told a few of us who were at a club that she believed he would leave if the harrassment of him continued. Thats why he decided to retire from England, he hopes it will put it all to bed. If not hes f**king off. Thats what she said anyway.
