Re: Craig Bellamy £10m
I don't like Bellamy one bit. He's injury prone, not prolific in front of goal, is bad for team morale, approaching 30 and worst of all is going to cost between £12-14m. I know we have to pay a premium for players at the moment but if that's what £12-14m is going to buy us, how much are we going to have to pay for a injury free striker in their mid twenties, who bangs in the goals and is a team player?
Throwing chairs at coaches at Blackburn, sending abusive texts to Freddy Sheppard and Shearer, fighting Riise with a golf club and other alleged fights and scuffles away from football should be more than enough reason to stay well clear of this fella. There must be better options? I'd rather take a gamble on Owen or bring in Podolski (even if it is for six months on loan).
The only plus side I can see is for Hughes who clearly wants to bring in players to provide him with support.
