Bellamy on his future (and the fall out) {merged}

Re: Bellamy on his future

So Bellamy hasn't shown descent to Mancini with this interview?! He's said he's not spoken to him for 6 months. Even if this is true, Bellamy is out of order on 2 levels:
1- He shouldn't be breaking ranks with the dressing room and airing this through the media.
2 - He should have actively sought out Mancini to discuss this before airing this in public!

This thread is about Bellamy, so i'm not going to turn it in to one about Robinho. I understand some of the greivances people have about Robinho, but it stinks of hypocrisy that these same people completely overlook what Bellamy has done

Bellamy's done nothing wrong. He's clearly asked when was the last time he'd spoken to Mancini. He says February, and then immediately qualifies it by saying that he's like that with lots of the players, and that both Hughes and O'Neil were also like this.

The thing is with Craig, he's always going to be honest and speak his mind, but in this instance I don't think he sounded like he was particularly complaining. If you watch the interview, he clearly states he'd love to stay and fight for his place, but him and his agent have indications that he won't be in the 25 man squad.

I agree with one thing you said - he doesn't sound like he was particularly complaining. But so what?! My issue is not that he was slagging Mancini for not speaking to him.

My 2 issues are:
1- Is that if Bellamy has not spoken to him for 6 months, then why didn't Bellamy approach Mancini himself to clarify his position?
2- Whatever his greivances are (club being ruthless, treating Hughes badly etc) he should NOT be talking about this to the media while he is still contacted to the club.

Imagine if you did this in your job in your trade rag, saying things like "My boss has not spoken to me for 6 months. I want to stay and work hard here, but if (insert 3 rival firms) come in for me, then I will have to seriously consider it" You'd get sacked for gross misconduct!

It's a f ucking disgrace what he's done today, and it's a joke that people are defending him! He deserved to stay after some of his performances last year, but don't try and justify what he has done today.

It's all about opinions and quite frankly yours is ridiculously over dramatic.

I'm not sure what the Britney thing on youtube is, sorry not really my bag.

You think it's ridiculously over dramatic that I think Bellamy was wrong to break club ranks and speak to the media? Maybe you're ridiculous?

Re: Bellamy on his future

What often gets forgotten is not only did give everything he could almost every game, not only did he he score some great goals against the Rags, Chelsea, Arsenal and Liverpool....

he also woman slapped a rag fan on live TV in broad daylight at the swamp.

Now if that doesn't earn you at least 1 more year then I don't know what does.

Re: Bellamy on his future

Until all the transfer business is concluded Mancini will not know exactly who is in his 25 man squad. How could he ?

City are in the fortunate position of being able to sort our squad before allowing players to leave. If, for example, Balotelli doesn't come we may need Bellers. Bellers will be paid by City regardless and if not in the 25 will no doubt be allowed to leave.

The problem for the likes of Bellers who is no doubt on a good wedge is finding a club who are willing to pay a fee and match his wages. Though I doubt that City would demand a big fee unless the move was to one of our rivals. I would suggest that City would ask more from Spuds for instance than they would from Fulham.

I think it's a shame that it looks as though he may not be in the 25 man squad but pro sport is ruthless and Mancini is the man paid to make the decisions.

I have also noted some re-writing of Bellers performances last year. Yes on the whole he had a very good season but come the sharp end when we needed a couple of results to deliver CL Football he was largely ineffective. He is also 31 with dodgy knees and given the same 25 man squad will have to contest both the PL and the Europa League we really cannot afford to carry too many crocs.

What about Vierra I can hear you all cry. Well Mancini clearly sees a role for Parick both on and off the pitch. Here is a guy who has won it all, a player Yaya Toure descibes as his hero. He is a positive force in the dressing room and trusted by Mancini whereas Bellers is .........well Bellers is Bellers and doesn't know when to keep his gob shut.

We need to have faith in our Manager and get behind the team. I think it's going to be one hell of season !

Re: Bellamy on his future

I don't agree with what he's done, gone public over his feelings towards the club/management. But I can't help be disheartened by the fact he said he has had barely any contact with Mancini for 6 MONTHS?! Doesn't the manager work with his p...layers every day? Or am I just naive about how clubs work? It's sad to see players like Bellamy saying this, because we all love him.

It's also sad to hear of Ireland's possible transfer to Villa, Onouha (it's just come out he's going on loan to sunderland) and Given mulling over their futures. Are these necessary evils to get to a position where we want to be in the league? I know we've gotta start to be ruthless but does it have to be this way...

I honestly don't see what Craig has done wrong. He was asked questions and he answered them honestly. He still wants to play for City

Re: Bellamy on his future

I think the thing is MANCINI doesn't plan to use wingers in his formation.

He only needs two of them in case he needs a change.
