in the summer - if all this speculation is correct about him falling out with Marwood, Mancini, the tea lady, cleaners etc.. etc.., would you be fully supportive of the management in selling him?

Personally I think he gives his all on the pitch but off it is obviously not a team player. Just one to many fall-outs according to the latest reports.
 
I'll be gutted if we lose him, he's been amazing for us, gives his all, and he has the winning mentality the club needs. Marwood can fuck off.
 
As long as his knees don't give out he will be with us next season for most probably his last season at the highest level.

Its on the field that matters and he will be an asset to the side in that capacity no matter who stays or goes over the summer.

Talk of him going because of spats with Marwood and the like is laughable.
 
Whether he stays or goes should be immaterial. All players have a shelf-life and Craig's is shorter than most. I'm also wary of players who are always in the papers. The only regret I would have is if we get rid and, as soon as we lose, all the knee-jerkers would be on here saying.."if only we'd had Bellers.."
 
Unfortunately this is not unfamiliar territory for Craig.

He has to learn to grow up and to live in the gron ups world, something he has not beenableto do at many of his previous seven clubs. If he isn't prepared to grow up then he can sod off, don't care how good he is. He always has been and always will be a divisive person.
 
Bellamy has stated in an interview earlier in the season that he might only have 1-2 seasons left at the top due too his knee's.
I would be sorry to see him goes as i like his attitude on the pitch and that would be hard to replace.
But his attitude off the pitch has got to be bad for the club so if we can get a world class replacement then i have no problem with him leaving at all
 
I think Bellamy is a team player, he generally always gives his all for the team, he's just got an opinion and he's not afraid to use it. I like the way he plays but he's said himself he may have only two more seasons in his knees so either way he's not a long term option, for this reason I am neither for or against him going. I do love watching him play though, if he was 26 with no injury record I'd want him on a 6 year contract!

I agree with this apart from the not bothered if he stays or goes bit. A top player and a top team player.Very good on the pitch in matches and in training and in that sense a great example to others.
 
Hes's been a good signing to moves us forward so far but he isn't a team player. I'm fed up with the amount of times he's ignored the strikers to his right and lahed in a stupid shot. All pace & effort, which is to be commended but not a lot intelligence, his knees are fucked and he is a disruptive influence, so as long as we find a class replacement he can go.
 
I'll be gutted if he goes, but if players are causing trouble behind the scenes, something has to be done. If the player is unwilling to change, he goes, simple as. Of course, it could be all press bullshit, but we dont know yet.
 
He is a team player, he just isn't get any younger.

I'd say it's unlikely if he stayed he would get another 30+ games in the league.

We Have Johnson and in my opinion need another first team Winger, with quality. Then with Bellamy playing a part next season but probably mostly as a Sub or when the others are in need of a rest or are injured.

I think 3 quality wingers (Bellamy, Johnson and one more) who can all play on either side leaves us again with probably the best wingers in the league.

If they sold Bellamy i'd support them, if Bellamy was to leave and Ashley Young was to come in, i wouldn't say no to that.
 
At the end of the day he's 30 now and his knees have always caused him problems and one of his main attributes is his pace which won't last for too long.

He's been really good for us this season but he is very replaceable. His decision making at times is suspect and I know he's not a natural winger but he does play out wide for us and his crossing isn't the best.

I'd be disappointed if he left this summer but can't see him still being here by the time we win our next title.
 
I'm still trying to understand why a multi millionaire needed an advance on his week's wages
 
Would be upset if he goes as he, like many have pointed out has been one of the best performers for us this season.

But he does have previous for causing disruption at clubs and if this is affecting things behind the scenes then he needs to go.

I personally would we rather he goes in the preseason as he is only going to become more disruptive if he is playing less of a role. Would Also like to see Adam Johnson given an extended run in his natural Left wing position.

Don't believe all you read in the newspapers.In fact don't believe anything you read in them.
 
He's a limited but wholehearted player who's done a decent job, was always a short term signing, we move on.
