Bellamy to the Dippers

[charliebigspuds]

It's going to save us 90k/week on a 32-year-old player with bad knees.

Fine by me.

fair point, but he's a good 'un.


How much BTW?

Hearing Bellamy has agreed financial terms for City severance and having medical at Liverpool ahead of free transfer

Wait what? Financial severance? Why are we paying a dime for him to go to dippers????

I hope his severance was 0.

Every player that leaves a club without asking for a transfer gets a severance package if that's what was agreed in his contract.

You must know that...

He was top for us when he played for Hughes. I hope there is some fee involved I wish him the best of luck. Should get some games at the Dippers.

Terrible bit of business by City, this. Adebayor to Spurs is too! Bellamy should be going to Celtic and Adebayor to somewhere on the continent. But no, we're strengthening our rivals.

They have no future at our club under Mancini and they have a right to play for any club that wants them and they are prepared to join.

We are no longer doing deals for players like we did with Cardiff for Bellamy.

Do you really think Celtic can afford to pay Bellamy anywhere near he is getting at City?

If Bellamy goes to Liverpool it shows us how far we have come when our rivals want our unwanted players.

Its a sign of strength on our part and a weakness on Liverpool's part if you look at it objectively.

Many if not all of the players we loan to other premiership clubs will under perform as was the case last year and Bellamy was virtually non existant for his dream homecoming to the club he wanted to retire playing for in the championship.

City perhaps, right or wrongly, maybe feel Lpool or Spurs won't be our rivals this season, and both Bellers & Ade are capable of being parts of teams which take points off what could be realistically our real rivals this season, rags & chelsea.

We would be foolish to underestimate the likes of Spurs and Arsenal despite their starts and Liverpool of course but their is no guarantee that the likes of Bellamy and Ade will be instant and long standing hits at their new clubs.

i don't think they will be underestimated, but in reality all 3 teams you mention shouldn't be in the title equation, they may be of course, but it would take a poor season from the top 3 for one of those to come along and do something imo. Chances are both Bellers & Ade will do there usual, be amazing for 3-4 months and you'll get the likes of Ollie Holt wanking himself off to them in his column and supplement, then after xmas they will get bored and kick off behind scenes.

Every player leaving a club at the wish of the contract holding club gets a sum..Call it loyalty bonus, severance compensation or whatever

 

[SWP's back]

It's all well and good saying we shouldn't strengthen our rivals and I understand the logic in that.
However, why should we be afraid of a player deemed not good enough for us ?

Its not that he wasnt good enough for us,their was a clash of personalities that led to him being moved on,nothing more.He was a class player for us and mancini just didnt like to have his character in the dressing room..had bellers had zabs attitude he'd be a shoe in for our squad.

He's not good enough for where we are now.

I know the contract dictates that certain payments are required depending on length of service, etc.

But I just hope this isn't a payment for the difference between the salary we pay him and the salary the dippers offered.
