Beckham has so far refused to sign a new contract
Manchester United have admitted for the first time they are losing the battle to keep David Beckham.
The England captain has so fair failed to sign a new contract and United are aware they could lose a player worth £40m for nothing if a decision is not taken soon.

United chief executive Peter Kenyon believes the contract saga will not be resolved until after the World Cup finals in the summer - if at all.

Beckham's current contract runs out in 18 months time.

You do reach a point where you conclude it one way or the other

Peter Kenyon
He will become a free agent during his final year, which means the Old Trafford club may be forced to put him up for sale before then to cash in on his multi-million estimate.
Kenyon said: "Both sides are frustrated. You do reach a point where you can't go any further and after several months of good negotiations you do reach a point where you conclude it one way or the other.

"We both feel that is where we're getting to.

"Again, we've got to decide pretty quickly what we're going to do.

Bosman ruling

"We would still like to get it completed but you do reach a point when you've got to put it on the back-burner for the club's interest and the player's interest.

"That takes you to the end of the season. And with the World Cup coming up, nothing can be done this summer.

"I think we're close, but there are still gaps.

"David hasn't said 'I'm not going to sign' and we haven't said 'sign this or else'."

Under the Bosman ruling Beckham could leave the club for nothing.

United are determined not to lose out, like Liverpool did with Steve McManaman and Spurs with Sol Campbell.
 
if he (ronaldo) does good in world cup and recovers like keano or nistelrooy did , then we could swap him for becks, and play either veron there, or give fletcher a chance to become the next beckham.
beck was one of the best crossers in the world, but he gets easily marked out of games nowadays, and hasn't really been able to combat this as he doesn't tend to take on his markers, and also hasn't been consistent in his crosses from the right, since after the treble.

when the last time we scored from a cross on the right from beckham?, recently giggs and silvestre have been providing goal scoring chances from the left.

Our right hand side supply has dried up recently, maybe fletcher should be eased into the squad and then the team.

ronaldo (if fully recovered),on the other hand would be far more effective in unlocking 10 men behind ball teams such as liverpool etc.. and would also be the best partner for ruud, as he would be marked by at least two defenders all the time.

imagine this:

giggs (man marked by at least 1)
veron (man marked by at least 1)
Ronaldo giggs (man marked by 2)


leaves ruud ,scholes and keano to run the show.

weak defence would not have much to do, maybe just long balls by opposition team to relief themselves from our attacking prowess.

look at Real madrid, there defence is not brillient and has now become used to long balls etc..

but they score shitloads (much more than us) for fun.
 
Beckham's great and i love him an all that but .... he has rejected 85k a week and thats just pure greed... yes he would get more at say Inter or juve but does he really want to become such a travelling mercenary like ANELKA ????

there is nothing we can do if he just wants stupid money,,, if his ego matched his consistancy then maybe? but it don't so I say keep trying until the WC then sell him off to whoever!!!!

I say get rid of becks..he's a great player..but we can do without him at Utd....if he doesn't sign a contract, he's being too greedy and doesn't deserve to play for Utd.....i still would like Utd. to keep him if possible.

When Beckham produces some decent form he may have an argument for a better deal, it is now make your mind up time. Beckham keeps saying he loves the club, well David, I am saying "Prove it, sign on the dotted line, or go.", I don't want to see him go, but he can't be holding the club to ransom.

Simply..... yes he is worse, i love becks but he ain't as good as Figo or Zidane .... he ani't even the best player at the club ..... I would much rather pay Giggs the "Stupid Money" , but then again Giggs wouldn't hold us to Ransom would he ???????????????

Agree completely. Giggs is a breath of fresh air.
And I only wish there was more like him. Contracts don't seem and issue with him as he realizes he is loaded anyway.

To put it bluntly, when Beckham produces the same form as Zidane, Figo or Rivaldo in the CL league then he can demand to earn the kind of money the others receive. Put up or shut up!

If Beckham goes then I'm all for signing Dyer from Newcastle.

If Veron wants back to Italy, then send him off as well. Just wait to sell these guys after the WC when their value will be at the maximum.

This is starting to get v.worrying now. At first it was all speculation, will he leave. Yet, Beckham himself, and the club have repeatidly reassured us that it's all "in the process" of being signed. Yet, when the club come out and say "we may have to sell him". It don't look good <img src="graemlins/nervous.gif" border="0" alt="[Nervous]" />

I agree, I still hope Becks will stay, but you get the feeling that Beckham and Veron are sort of in each others way.

I think United would be mad not to sell Beckham if the price on his head is £40 million. He is no where near worth it and thus would be the business deal of the century. He is good but not great, he is not good enough to play in the middle of the park as he has only one good foot and cannot go past players. He does however have a great right foot but has ceased to provide any crosses with it because he keeps moving into the middle to get caught with the ball.

Too much money to turn down. Could buy 3 players of Beckhams quality and more for that money.

:) You cannot compare Beckahm with Zidane and Figo. If you watch United week in weeek out you would see that Beckham isn't fit to lace Keanes boots not mention Zidane or Figo.

Sell Becks...he is far too greedy and though he has the talent, he doesn't always have the determination like he does with ENG....sell him, buy a younger chap who is more motivated and less greedy....if becks is holding utd to ransom, he doesn't deserve to play for Utd..he should rather be at Real where he can get whatever he wants.
 
If the papers are to be belived the stumbling block is not the basic wage but how much Becks should get for his image rights. I don't think he is being unreasonable in asking what he thinks it is worth because when you look at the merchandising turn over the clubs and players earn the money not the PLC. <img src="graemlins/keano.gif" border="0" alt="[Keano]" />
 
dyer is a good player but he gets injured way too often and for long periods of time. we should get someone else, or even better, let veron play there. with the money, we could buy world-class defense and a back-up striker.

Beckham, or more likely his accountant, has been incredibly smart in playing the image rights card since who can deny Beckham his rights to a share in the profits on David Beckham lunch boxes.

If it is to become the sticking point that sees him leave OT however, the fans will soon see through the argument for the greed beneath. After all Beckham is a footballer at Manchester United and his image was to a major extent created through his association with the club (methinks Beckham the Burger King assistant duvets would not go down as well with the kiddies).

The club exploit his image for all it's worth to pay the inflated wage bill at OT, if Becks gets a rise tied mainly to merchandising then maybe the PLC can manipulate the wording to avoid the inevitable tit for tat pay rises to the other "star" players. At the end of the day however no player is bigger than the club, I just hope he signs up quickly and gets on with what he does best.

I'd agree with most of that however he turned down £75k a week (imagine being able to do that!) plus £20k in image rights. Now if I was P Kenyon I would lower the basic salary and bump up the image rigts because the better Becks plays and the more successful the team then the more jerseys/posters etc he'll sell and the both the club and the player are happy and they'll both make more for their fortune's!
