Craig Bellamy has been in a footballing no-man’s land for too long now. Yes he impressed on loan at Cardiff City last season, but his status at his parent club Manchester City has seen him viewed by many as an ‘outsider’ or a ‘forgotten man’. I’m not sure whether I feel sorry for Craig, who’s earning a reported £95,000 a week, but it is clear that something needs to change and that he has no future at City.
The BBC and The Mirror have reported that a move back to his former clubLiverpool could be on the cards, suggesting that City are keen to get him off of the wage-bill.
If there’s any truth to this I’d be much amused, after all Craig stated not too long ago that if he couldn’t make it at City the only other club he’d consider would be Cardiff City. Perhaps he didn’t expect a club as big asLiverpoolto make their interest clear and the lure of playing for a club competing at the very top of the Premier League may well be too much to ignore.
But would a move to Liverpool be the right option for him?
My worry is that Bellamy would find himself in a position all too similar to the one he currently finds himself in at City. He currently has Edin Dzeko, Mario Balotelli, Carlos Tevez and Sergio Aguero to contend with at City. Whilst Liverpool aren’t quite so spoilt for strikers, it’s clear that when everybody’s fit, Luis Suarez and Andy Carroll will be the club’s first choice frontmen.
I think Suarez and Kuyt are first choice at LFC, not Carroll.
Is start Bellamy in front of Carroll too.
Carrol has the potential to be a cracking CF, but he’s still very rough and ready and forget his fee – he should be an impact sub for now.
I would choose belamy over Carrol
Seems I’ve read this somewhere else, getting good mileage are you?
I’d start*
yes bellamy over caroll and more speeder .
