One other motivation is that despite all the press attention he'll receive at first, he and his stick-insect wife will be able to walk the streets with a level of anonymity they have never had. After the first week or two, the press will turn their attention elsewhere. No paparazzi, etc. That's exactly why Klinsmann lives there.
For anyone about to say "They love the publicity" etc, I truly doubt that at this point they like being trailed by cameras everywhere they go. |

£#%&!er.
Threatened to walk away from united, his boyhood club, when we offered him £100k p/w, but apparently the image rights needed "tweaking", after about 2 years of negotiations. (Say what you like about keane, but at least he never played a shithouse card like "i love this club" or any of that. Pay me, or i'm off - fair enough.) Then agrees a contract with madrid in minutes and they wont even enter into discussions about image rights. |

He's got many faults but he's getting away from the crap he's had to put up with for years.
He's going to paid 490k a week. If my maths is correct that just under $100 a minute for 5 years. I know he's loaded already but anybody will have their head turned by that. Can't begrudge him for taking that deal. |

£#%&! me...he's on the home page for www.cnn.com

do you reckon he'll be that bothered on £500,000 a week. he was only making the bench anyway. and hasn't capello already said he wants rid of raul, beckham, ronaldo and diarra along with a few others? |

Secondly, no matter how much he is getting...he doesn't need it. Why the greed? Why not go and play for brentford for a few years, enjoy yourself. Put something back into the English game...anything except this constant raiding of his profile, brand Beckham and all the other bullshit. |

He is a prime example of what happens when men follow their #@&%! and not their brains.
That anorexic slag of a wife has destroyed his career, if he'd not met her, he would still be at OT, and remembered as an all time great, instead he will be remembered more for his off-field activities than his obvious ability on it. As is often said, when you leave United, the only place to go is down..... |

[quote=dodger;82528]Firstly I don't belive those figures for one second? Half a million a week? he's not worth that many souveneir mugs.QUOTE]
These are just not very big numbers for American sports. VISA and other corporate sponsors will be footing the bill, and it's a drop in the bucket to them. |

i don't get all this career destroyed stuff. he's 31, won everything with us, then moved on to probably the biggest club in europe, and now is going to have a ball with new challenges earning silly silly money. how many footballers wouldn't swap his career for theirs |

I would imagine they will see him as raising the profile of the game over there to new levels. didn't madrid reckon they got their transfer fee back for him in a few months in selling beckham stuff like it or not, he, and his mrs, are highly marketable |
