Becks has got cover!
The Times has reported that David Beckham has insured himself for a record 100 million pounds, read the full story here. If you exchange this into US Dollars, Becks is the 195 Million dollar man, hey someone should make a TV show with something like that for a title... you think? :)
This is an understandable precaution given the circumstances as outlined in the article and of course further fuels speculation that Becks will not renew his contract with Real Madrid. However, Sam Allardyce, Bolton Manager, has said he doesn't think Becks will leave Real Madrid, although if he did he would love to see him play for Bolton. Don't go holding your breath there Sam! Guillem Balaque, La Liga pundit, is predicting Becks will renew with Real Madrid in February, check out his full column on skysport, it was good to read the comment below, let's hope he is right!
I've seen Beckham train during the week and there is nobody who can give the ball to Ronaldo or pick out a run from Van Nistelrooy or Reyes better than Beckham.Also, I've added a few scans of Becks when he was a cute little boy to the books and magazines gallery
He and Guti are both needed in the side for the quality of their passing and I think Capello has realised that now
Update: The last public training session before the Christmas break was held today details and a record 3 photos of Becks are online here it's nice after so often getting none or one photo of Becks from training to see him included... is this a sign that the Real Madrid website might be going to feature him a little more in the new year? I hope so, the lack of press conferences and photo coverage has been dire during the first half of the season.

Guillem Balaque's comment is nice! And I believe his expected formation with Robinho/Reyes on the left, Beckham on the right and Guti in the centre is great! However, with this formation, Guillem Balaque seems to have forgotten a player.........where is Raul? Capello's favourite player who is a fixture in the starting XI of RM, no matter how does he play! A formation with no Raul is just impossible in RM, at least I can't see it happens under Capello!

Hmmm can Raul play up front with Ruud or Ronaldo? also though he seems wed to Diarra and Emerson and Guti who are also favorites sooooooo Becks deserves a place but as you say... with all Capello's favorite babies lol where?

I agree with the people who posted about the Raul situation and also the amount of competition in mid-field, it is very difficult for Becks, I liked what Belague said and I'd like it to be true but I am "waiting to see" the actions.

Frankly speaking, I don't think there exists any real competition in the starting lineup of RM. In fact, most of the places are already fixed as some players always start regardless of their form. As far as I can see, apart from the keeper and the back four, there is only ONE place in the starting lineup left for all the players apart from Capello's favoured "five" (Raul, Guti, RVN, Diarra and Emerson) to compete for.......

I agree - when I said competition above I meant the competiton between Beckham, Reyes, Robinho etc for that one spot... although reports say that Diarra is no longer in favor, how reliable they are I'm unsure of... I guess we will see in January.
