Craig Bellamy?

Anyone think it is possible we could sign Bellamy?

He was a MACHINE when on loan here.

He has never since hit that great form.

He really enjoyed his time at Paradise.

I remember before he left the rumour was that if we wanted to make him permenant it would cost 11Million, which we didn't have. I think his price muct be at least half of that and although hes a bit older Im sure he would be prolific here, the fastest player I've ever seen. Remember him destoryin the huns defence hahaha.

So whats the verdict? would he or wouldnt he?

 

And probably never will again.

Stop flogging a dead horse mate

 

he actually did, he scored 17 goals in an injury hampered season at blackburn

 

ok what i was getting at is

1) we know he can be a celtic legend, he made the grade here before, he would settle in.

2) We can do a Blackburn. We buy 'damaged goods' on the cheap and he turns into a european superstar. Look at Santa Cruz, 3.5mill one of the top scorers in the league, now waned by the gooners.

Im saying its very hard for a scottish club no matter how big in this day to buy a super star as he is, weve not got enough money to compete.

 

Not sure mate was great in the short time here, but very injury prone and reportedly on about 80grand a week. would need to accept less than half that to come back to us

 

Hes a * though

 

I think we could have bought him 3 years ago but it would have taken our entire budget to get him and WGS wanted to buy more than one player.

Depends what the player wants, West Ham would probably pay to have him off the wagebill but it is if Bellamy wants to play in the SPL.

I have a sneaky suspicion that we may well try to get him on a year long loan and pay half his wages.

 

He said at the time he would love to stay at Celtic .......... bullshit although he is (was) a very good player , he's only in it for the money and never intended to stay , just to try and bump u his wages in the EPL sorry going on a bit that's a NO from me

 

It wasn't the money. Celtic didn't offer him a deal. At the start of that summer WGS had 5m to spend on the entire team and Bellamy would cost that by himself. Blackburn could afford the 5m and so signed him. He did well there so Liverpool signed him and put him on better wages and then West Ham signed him and put him on silly money.

It shows the effect of financial prudence in the running of the club that we can now go out and spend 5m on a player and expect to be able to afford other players as well.

 

i would have loved to see the little guy stay, but its too late now. we could never afford his wages.

 

ill put my neck out here and say i think he will be playing for us next season.dont know why but iv just got a feeling we will sign him.5 million buy

 

Everyone forgets........he played on Black Sunday and didnt get a sniff

 

We lost the league the year he played, he was dynamite, but we lost.we need winners!!!!

 

With all the hamstring injuries that he's picked up I wouldn't be surprised if his pace is dissappearing.

 

* the no-necked wee * :icon_mrgreen::icon_mrgreen::icon_mrgreen: not for me he's finished

 

im the same as you mate,i hink wgs will buy him because we dont have a striker with genuine pace so i think he will be the man

 

i would take him bk aswell the only fear i have is going to ibrox playing bellamy brown robson hartley boruc and the way vennegoor of hesselink played gainst rangers just there add a dodgy ref like mike mccurry and wee could be down to 7 or 8 men

 

Yeah, the opinion seems to be divided. Some are with me and think he would be a good signing, and others really dont like him.

I think we could more realisticly get Bellamy on a year loan as oppossed to D.Bent.

And to the guy that mentioned that we lost the league the year we had Bellamy - as i recall Bellamy got injured for the last game or 2.

But Im sure he would be easier to get then Bent.

And I would rather have Pavlyuchenko but hes having a stormer of a tournament and might be out of each by now

 

Id love to see him here! i met him in cardiff that summer he left and he told me he wanted to stay and how much he enjoyed himself at CP. The reason we didnt get him because he was demanding wages we wernt prepared to offer him. I he wants to lower his wage theres every possibility that he could be back in the hoops next season!
