I frankly don't care what kind of looks he might have; that should not even be discussed. The Spice Boy is a very adept free kick taker, and is not bad on crosses. His best quality is his long distributing, which is barely world class. But his dribbling skills are minimal, as well as his creativeness. What shocks me is that Carlos Quieroz insisted on playing Beckham as a central midfielder; isn't that a job for someone who can tackle and has good positional sense? Those two aspects are the flaws of David, as well as his speed and ball skills.
Beckham is no Makelele or Helguera, and certainly no Luis Figo. Therefore, the hype he recieves is unwarrented, and Real only bought Becks to extend the Club's popularity in the East. Maybe a good decision buying Beckham from an economic standpoint, but a stupid decision in a footballing sense. Could Real sit out of Europe next season? Well, if so, you can blame the sensless signings of Owen and Beckham for some of the misery.

Some ppl say he was a better player whilst at ManU. I agree in that he played better but he wasn't any more skilled or anything different it just that the English style was all he could handle. IN SPain, especially in Madrid they play with the ball on the ground and through the middle. Bechkam is only good when fast counterattacking play is needed or when pressure in the form of constant crosses into the box are needed.
Also at ManU Becks has always had a forward strong in the air. How many goals do Raul, Ronaldo and Owen score with their heads?
So basically its not that Becks has become crap/craper whilst at RM but that his peripheral style of play just doesn't fit in. What does all this mean? Beckham is player with 1or2 exceptional qualities but overall limited to by his other aspects of play.
Summary: Beckham is overrated

Beckham dont need to be skillfull... his superb crossing ( the best in the world i would say ) and pin point long range pass would bring no less goals than any skillfull dribbler... beckham does has a ridiculous commercial image, but as a footballer he is not overated... teams like England and Man United depends a lot to him... It is no coincidence that the breaking down of Man United era in EPL happens after beckham left.. i dunno what those football experts think but really i dun see why they wantt to cut all of beckhams stregth and play him in the middle....what a pity..
Real madrid's business works like this , they bring stars so Media can always focus on them. About Bekcham , it's known well why they brought him , just to get some popularity and some cash around the world. but i see it useless , as beckham is one of the best in his position where he played in MU...so playin CM is wasting time...
