I think it shows a complete lack of ambition as a footballer personally. It is a money move, a chance to hang-out with his Scientologist friends and start a movie career or something (mibee?)
If you look at Larsson, Figo, Zidane, hey even Terry Sherringham it is clear that if you are good enough and keep fit enough you can play at the top level well into your 30s, Beckham could have fought for his place at a top club, Inter or Juve in Italy for example and the regained his England place?
You've got your late 30s to retire to US football.
