Dribble said:Who were the other wasted assets?remoh said:Bellamy was a terrific asset to this Club.
He put in 100% every time and his pace, crossing and shooting have been sorely missed by the team. He was valuable. too, in the dressing-room, leading by example, which gave him the right to put the 50% players in their place.
Obviously, his injury history was known to Hughes wnen he bought him and because of his respect for the man's experience and knowledge of his his own body, he allowed hm to set out his own training regime knowing that he would play when he could and always do his best on the pitch That is Bellamy.
Unfortunately, Mancini, who probably knew little of Craig's situation, came in with a 'one size fits all' philosophy and put him in danger of finishing his career.
What was Bellamy supposed to do?
Just another great playing asset wasted by Mancini.
