Leading the Galaxy in assists with 12, (Barret and Dunicvant tied
for second with 4) David Backham is more than just an asset on the field. His move to the MLS has certainly
encouraged other teams to seek big names and those players have followed
Backham’s lead.
The league has responded well by allowing for designated players
like Beckham to be partially exempt from affecting their teams salary cap (in
fact the bulk of his salary isn’t counted against his teams salary cap). However how will the league be affected
if the many rumors about his departure from LA come true?
Beckham has expressed interest in Tottenham Hotspurs and Arsenal
but so far most rumors involve the Queen’s Park Rangers. After a deal to loan Beckham out to the
Hotspur earlier this year fell through, it may seem as though his desired teams
may not want him.
The English Permier league can begin making tansfer deals in
January and Beckham’s contract with LA is up at the end of the year. If Beckham can’t find a home in England
then he can stay with the Galaxy, which has offered him a one year
contract. Which may be a good idea
for him if he wants to hold out another year in the hopes for better offers from
the EPL.
