Come back Craig Bellamy!

Bellamy's always one kick or fall away from a career ending injury. It would have made sense to keep him if he were happy in the role of a back up but foolish to make him an integral part of the team. And I just cant see that he would have accepted that role.

At times yesterday I was wishing that he was playing, but then I heard that he was out injured which was very unsurprising.
 
Bellamy is another example of a player who gets better the less we see of him, and eventually in some people's heads an average player will become world class. Usually we do it with injured players but now we're selling Prem quality we've had it about Dunne, Bojinov, Petrov, Onuoha etc.
It's only a matter of time until the first "Why did we sell Ireland, he's just what we needed today" thread.

Bellamy wouldn't have played today even if he was fit. Mancini had already told him there wasn't room for him in the 25, and his players to occupy the wings are SWP, Johnson, Milner and Silva.
 
Can't start a new post so posting here.

Bellamy exclusive interview on Radio 5 tonight.

Confirms that Spuds came in for him before Cardiff deal. No new news here.... But also says Rags came in for him as well
 
Craig Bellamy admits it is 'very unlikely' he will return to Cardiff City next season, but acknowledged it would be 'uncomfortable' to go back to Manchester City if Roberto Mancini is still manager.

Wales international Bellamy is spending the season on loan at Cardiff after falling out of favour with Mancini at City and has scored eight goals in 27 appearances.

A permanent deal at Cardiff is likely to be out of reach, even if the club secure promotion to the Premier League, and Bellamy is braced for a return to City.

He has a further year left on his contract at Eastlands, but accepts it could be a difficult season if Mancini remains City boss.

"Even if Cardiff are promoted, I feel it's very unlikely I'd stay," Bellamy told the Daily Mirror.

"It is not an option to have another year on loan here - I don't want to be on loan anywhere next season.

"The deal Man City did with Cardiff was for them to pay a lot of my wages but if we got promoted, they would have to buy me. It sounded romantic in August but if we look at it money-wise, it's probably not going to happen.

"It is difficult because I do have another year at Man City. I could be there the whole year and not be involved. It would not be ideal for anyone if that happens. It certainly wouldn't be ideal for them.

"I will have to be at Man City because I have a year left, but it will be an uncomfortable situation for everyone really, if Mancini is still in charge.

"There's nothing I can do. He is the manager. He chooses the squad - and rightly so."

Bellamy added: "You never know whether it could still work out for me there. It all depends who you are working with. That's the key.

"If it was [Jose] Mourinho, you don't see many players who can't work with him or he can't revive. Or Harry Redknapp. Certain managers have that gift."

Ooh. What a vote of confidence.
Imagine whats it like if he is in City squad now.
Don't we have enough excitement as it is?
 
What did he do the second half of last season

Add to that the trouble he caused


All hail Craig the messiah Bellamy
