Lalas opens door to Becks loan
LA Galaxy president Alexei Lalas has admitted David Beckham could be loaned out to a European team, but this stance has not been adopted by the club's coach Frank Yallop.
Beckham's return to the England fold has heightened speculation he could be loaned to a team in Europe when the MLS season ends in November, in order to boost his chances of playing at Euro 2008.
Galaxy officials initially gave the rumour short shrift, but Lalas' stance has since softened.
"We always consider possibilities that will make the player better as a soccer player and therefore make him a much more valuable asset because of that experience of going to play with another team on loan, or if we felt it made proper business sense and it is usually a combination of the two," Lalas said on Sky Sports News.
Yallop, though, believes Beckham would be better served putting his feet up once the American season draws to a close.
"We have a long season and a long pre-season, so he will need the break at the end of our season in October or November," said Yallop.
"We will need to give him a break and he will need a test, so I don't see any loan deals going on with David."
Beckham has not been drawn to comment on the speculation, but has made no secret of his desire to extend his England career and a loan move could suit the 32-year-old. -
I doubt McDonut will select Becks in Euro 2008 even if Becks prove his worth during the loan.
Cheers.
