Not at all. It's a free market, he's free to go wherever he's appreciated. In US Beckham's treated like an idol, in UK he's yesterday's news.
So why even talk about loyalty?

[Dino]

If someone paid me USD$250 million, i also dun mind being traitor like this.:o

[LiLiaN]

1/4 billion - even i will go!

[bizzi]

[athena]

for half a million pounds a week??!!?? i'll go anytime!!
but then the reports actually states "mere" half a million pounds a week??!!?? :laugh: means he has earned more !!!

[LiLiaN]

i think that's probably sarcasm more than anything else...

What to do? His wife wanted to sell off all those outdated lingeries to the WaG's of Galaxy! ;)

[monay]

i wonder where in LA he'll play.... never heard of anyone go to a soccer game here before, they might go to basketball (LA lakers ro Clippers), football (USC trojans) or baseball (dodgers).... I think he'll hav tough competetion for making headlines...:)

[PreciousPearl]

$250 million? he's got the right idea - look after number one.
even if the beckham brand name doesn't break football/ soccer big time in the USA, it won't matter, just put the money in the bank.

[elvin]

I dun think its about the money...he's already damn loaded from footballing and advertising and image rights! I think its about saving some face(having dropped from national squad). sad to see the legendary free kick specialist ending his career in US. Or maybe a start of another career??? (hmmm.....acting??? probably???....tsk! tsk!;) )

I agree with Elvin...plus Mrs Beckham may be quite a big influence in their going to US. She still have the ambition of reliving her Posh Spice days...where better to do so than the USA?

What is Becks trying to do here by playing very well for Real? He wants to make fabio capello miss him after leaving Real for Galaxy?
