Beckham Story A Wind-Up?

The 32-year old is back in the frame on the international scene, but his move to the States hardly gave him any "Street Cred". Just showed more than ever who wears the pants in the Becks household. BUT ... could he and Posh REALLY be coming to the Quayside?

It would be Marks & Spencers rather than top designer clothes for the ex-Spice Girl, and how we'd love to see the pair of them pop into the "3 Bulls Heeds" for a drink.

Becks is currently at the centre of speculation over whether or not he could be allowed to return to the Premiership on a temporary basis from LA Galaxy during the American closed season.

He claims he is looking for a club in the American close-season, and Newcastle apparently are among a series of clubs to have expressed an interest.

Those at St James' Park are not playing it down, as they have with previous "Becks for Toon" rumours, and they have not ruled out the possibility of a three-month loan move. Mainly because Allardyce is an acknowledged admirer of the midfielder and would love to have him in his side.

The new Toon boss, who was only turned down for the England job by a split vote, was quick to say Steve McClaren was wrong to dump Beckham the way he did.
