4/1 Odds Beckham Plays in MLS Next Season

By: Bob | October 24th, 2006

Have you heard that David Beckham is going to play in the United States’ Major League Soccer someday? Of course you have. This news has been making headlines for years and like most things related to Beckham it is entirely blown out of proportion. It is enough to make you do this.

The speculation of a move to America is increasing though with each minute Beckham spends sitting on the bench watching Real Madrid play and win matches without him. The current odds have him at 6/4 to remain at Real Madrid for another year, which makes sense since both sides have said they want this to be the case. But before you go out and buy a new Real jersey with Beckham’s name on the back, the oddsmakers are currently laying 4/1 odds that he will be Stateside next year giving Bobby Boswell a run for his money.

Arsenal is also in the mix at 6/1 and further down the list you can get 80/1 if you bet that he will be in the Qatar tabloids. No odds are given for him playing for England.

  The merchandising deal Real Madrid struck when they signed David Beckham means that he has paid for his £25m transfer fee several times over.

  However, I suspect all this talk is just another back and forth in the negotiations over his contract. If what he wants is to win titles, there’s only a handful of teams in Europe that can fulfil that ambition. He clearly does not ‘travel well’ and I don’t see him uprooting his family and moving to a non-English-speaking country, so the only option is to move back to the Premiership to Man U, Arsenal or Chelsea, or to go to the MLS and make another pile of money there, trading on his image before it declines completely.

  Would Man U, Arsenal or Chelsea find a place in their starting line-up for David Beckham? I suspect not. I expect him to sign for another year or two, and then move to the U.S.

  We’ll know more in 3 months or so…
