I’m so upset I missed this. Did Chris say anything paticularly interesting?

It was a good interview and I think he should probably be our Captain this season.

I’m not a regular fan of the show, but if anyone is interested Chris Klein is on Fox Footbal Fone-in this evening. He’s on right now 5:34 pm. The show repeats later tonight, as well, if you miss this interview. He’s talking about well…guess who.

He is going to leave and then come back at some point cause he said “I’m still committed as an ambassador, but for the moment I want to play my football here.”

I stand corrected. http://www.latimes.com/sports/soccer/la-sp-beckham-galaxy-milan16-2009feb16,0,4399085.story.

Definitely not worth it. Not even at $5M.

I’m with Nathan — I think he’s gone, there will be a way for him to stay in Milan.

I’m wondering, though, would he remain until summer and then return to the Galaxy?

They did not offer 5 million euros they offered $3 million, its been leaked by AEG to media here in the states so that everyone knows why we did not sell him and how AC is trying to screw us.

According to most reports, Milan offered 5 million Euros. That’s about $6M. Reports are that Garber has said MLS would only approve a record transfer, which would be over $10 million (what they got for Jozy). So far, Milan has not made a counter-offer.

Not sure if Garber’s deadline was a good idea. I suspect Milan will still make another offer. If they come through with $10M, I think that’s a deal that should be taken. But how can MLS accept it now that their deadline has passed?

First things first though, how badly do Milan want him? So far, not badly enough to pay for it.
