I am quite European. I agree that he should be applauded for keeping his fitness up for the benefit of the nation, but he will not get any praise from me - because he chose Arsenal.

I like Edgar Davids alot but I've never supported AC Milan, Ajax, Inter Milan, Juventus, Spurs or Barcelona. He is not helping Arsenal in any way, shape or form, if anything and I mean anything he's a liability, more press and a tiny bit less focus on Arsenal's players and a tiny bit more on him. I've said it before and I'll say it again, the Yanks don't understand football and before you say anything neither do Canadians. You’re evidently not english
a player training with a team so he can keep his value to his national team is a player to be applauded and definitely not booed

Training with arsenal is not helping arsenal in any way, wenger wants to see becks back to his best and he wants to see england performing so he does what he can to help it happen

Now that I saw him in an Arsenal shirt, that connection is gone. To answe some questions: -no, I am not an LA Galaxy fan. I am a Man Utd fan and in the MLS the team of my choice is Toronto FC, but I do not often watch MLS. -Joeyboy, Ronaldo is a prick of equal measure, but he can be excused on *my* account because: a)he is better than Fabregas; b) and, more importantly, he is a Man Utd player. (I have often admitted to being a hypocrite when it comes to football and you cannot deny being one yourself) -I would definetely train with the Gunners if only they made me an offer, but if I had other options (such as Chelsea, Tottenham and Newcastle) I would put Arsenal as the last option. -some footballers ARE friends with players from other clubs and that is totaly acceptable. Rooney and Gerrard are frieds and Lampard is a Man Utd fan (did you know?). I think Gooner16 makes sense in saying that Arsenal can keep players fit better than other clubs. The level of fitness in the Arsenal players is astounding.

All MU fans, Who cares about Becks training with Arsenal, the training ground is close to his house with top standard facilities and top coaches-what he needs. Furthermore, if you have ever seen arsenal play, they demand respect from anybody and have got to be one of the fittest teams in the world. Shohan khan,
