Will Beckham signing weaken PSG ?

Let's see some facts

Beckham is super old.

He has been playing MLS only for the last seasons, which is less competitive than Ligue 1 and was not even above the field.

His signing is a marketing plot.

The coach will be forced to give him playing time even if some other are better, which can create tensions

It is another new player added to a team which has already 7 new players and who has trouble to play together

If we add that to a potential change of coach, there is potential to create a mess in Paris.

It's not like Bodmer or Chantome are top class

If he starts then possibly......

There is also Pastore and Sissoko. I think he will come as a AM/CM, because he lacks the speed now to play on the PSG wings, who are very fast.

Weaken Psg? Definitely, signing a football idol like Beckham, will force Psg to play imo, and Beckham has past a long time ago.

That's what I think as well, this is a stupid signing but these Qatar guys don't know football very well.

How is he going to bring money to PSG?

It's note like if he was in his prime. The whole thing is that Qatari don't need him to bring money, they already have it.

If he starts , he'll . But i think PSG wants him to be more of a showpiece , like the guy that comes on when your 3 goals up with 20 mins to go .

the idea behind beckham isnt to bring money through shirt sales etc etc (even though it will) because like OL said, these Qutari blokes are mega-loaded already, the idea behind bringing in beckham is to increase exposure get more people outside of france to watch PSG, and imo brining in beckham will help with that a great deal

although on the pitch becks is way over the hill, i recently watched him in a post-season friendly against the victory and althouh it was a friendly and although it was a few weeks after the MLS season had ended, becks looked terrible and at times a-league players made him look like a chump, and for this venture to be successful beks has to play games to without doubt it will hurt PSG on the field, although i think this is a case of short term pain for long term gain

But is Beckham even that popular? He was a football superstar especially in England, what he is now? I guarantee you that in France he is not popular. The boost of visibility will probably not be as good as expected and like I said it could shake PSG play and dressing room.

Weakening the team for more stars and flashs, this is exactly what a non knowledgable football president would do. And that's exactly what these qatari are.

Who doesn't know Beckham?

Anyway Becks should only be used as a Sub or as an impact player in a big game. With that Crossing of his he won't be as wasteful as you guys are making him out to be.

Becks is Richer and More handsome than the very rich and very handsome CR7, it can only benefit PSG to have one such as him there. You all are more jealous of him than you are of CR7...

It's a weird move for him, It breaks the European "M" cycle. Manchester, Madrid, Milan... he should be at OM... or Monaco... Makes more sense alphabet wise...

I don't think people understand. This guy still puts the ball wherever he wants to with his right boot.

Hell yeah PSG should take him.

People know about Beckham but I doubt they really care. It is'nt 10 years ago anymore.

Adding a player only for marketing purpose is not going to help PSG. Beckham is 36, has played MLS for the last 3-4 seasons, was not even dominating there and now Paris picks him up?

I see no reason sportwise.

Why are you so worried about PSG, you should be happy

Who says I am worried?

I would be much happier if they sign Beckham than if they sign Tevez for sure.

Becks was influential for Galaxy. He didn't need to "dominate".

Is there a better Crosser than Becks at PSG?

Beckham is probably too slow to play as a winger. He may still have some of his crossing abilities, but physically, he will need to be very strong when 1,90 malians DM beast will go for his legs. Paris is a counter attack team, he is not even suited to their play.

That's why I said he should be on as a sub.

PSG won't be winning every game they play. Plus Hoaroau will be useful under Becks again.

Adding a player like Becks couldn't hurt the team. He will be useful for PSG if they limit his time, he can't play a full 90 minutes every game anymore. But with his FK and corner abilities he can be very useful to them. His vision and passing are still very good

Not at all. Beckham was still playing at a high level during his stints at Milan and he's coming off the back of his strongest season in America. His set pieces alone can justify selection, it's not like PSG have a Barcelona-esque midfield

Plus he's going to sell like a gazillion jerseys

this is what a football fan, someone who actively follows the game thinks and knows, but who says thats who PSG are targeting?
