England star to play at Italy’s retirement home
Earlier this week we were told that David Beckham will be training with AC Milan when the American Soccerball season finishes, but according to the BBC, this has now expanded into a six-month loan deal to begin in January.
Why did Becks choose Milan? Did he want to be near the other old folks who have the best days of their career behind them (we’re looking at you, Ronaldinho, Maldini and Shevchenko)? Did Mrs Beckham insist on the fashion capital? Let us know what you think with a comment below.

It’s a little unfair to include Maldini because they won’t let him leave.
Milan have expanded their palate. Before this season, they seemed to only fancy washed-up Brazilians. They threw out FatNaldo and Serginho (they must have forgotten they even had the latter…probably found him in some storage bin).
Mrs. Becks surely played a part. She couldn’t get arrested in LA and the blow must be better in Milan.
More seriously, I can’t see how they’ll have Beckham and Seedorf on at the same time.
