He will be Rossonero from the 7th of January 2009. Doesn't say anything more than that though.

Welcome to Milan, David Beckham!

Even if he play's a bit part role and contribute's to some extent it wtill can be more of a win than lose situation.I'm here and there on the issue myself,but at Milan I'm confident we really don't let ego's take hold of the dressing room's,I barely recall a player's ego taking such a strangle hold.If Beck's can bring in a fair bit of cash for a future decent buy why not,it can't be the worst possible thing.

Ronaldinho excited by Becks

Ronaldinho has spoken with enthusiasm about David Beckham's impending arrival in Milan and has even offered to share free-kick duties with the England star.

The Italian giants have confirmed a deal has been struck with MLS outfit LA Galaxy to take the midfielder on loan in January.

Beckham has been encouraged to make the switch to Serie A by England coach and former Milan incumbent Fabio Capello; keen as he is to see the 33-year-old keep up his fitness levels in the American close-season.

In joining Milan he will share the bill with a number of football's biggest names and one such star, Ronaldinho, is already looking forward to striking up a partnership.

"He's a great champion. I hope he's happy with us. We'll take turns taking free-kicks," Ronaldinho told La Gazzetta dello Sport.

"I've met him in the past and I have always been struck by his class."
Champion

While Beckham is not to join Milan officially until 7th January it is being reported in Italian media that he will be presented to the club's fans before the Udinese game on 21st December, before taking part in a Dubai training camp during Serie A's Christmas break.

There has been no official line on the exact length of the loan period but Milan president Adriano Galliani has again ruled out making the move a permanent arrangement.

"No one has spoken of a permanent transfer. The hypothesis is not possible because he has a contract with Galaxy, who don't want to let him go," he said.

"I hope it's a painful goodbye (at the end of the loan) because that would mean he's done well."

Nesta-Maldini-Zambrotta-Pirlo-Seedorf-Kaka-Dinho-Bechkam-Sheva -- all in Milan at the same time. Amazing!
Its true, Kaka and Pirlo aside, they are all not in their best years of football, its true some are injured (Nesta might be serious on a long run) and others like Paolo are close to retire. But still, what an amzing list of players.
