he has only ever thrived under hughes' control. at newcastle and liverpool he caused real strife in the dressing room. at blackburn he was in the form of his life and for us he's been exceptional. nice little timebomb that MH has left behind, i'm sure bellamy also feels aggrieved that his mentor has been booted. yeah, that's a potential issue, altho mancini will quickly learn that bellamy's physicality is a must. frankly, I think the team that was out yesterday, bar injuries, is our strongest, simply because of the laziness of adebayor and the limits of robinho.
