They both play for top teams that specifically

have two holding players to get the best out of them

Put them together in the same side, and it won't work, they'll get in each others way

Once you encounter that problem, the only thing left to do is have beckham hoofing long balls into the box, or have bright flashes of gazza like play from cole
