Manchester City put Craig Bellamy up for sale

[Ted Hughes]

The Guardian is one of the better football papers, I doubt this is based purely on speculation.

Rabidly anti-City mate. And I have no doubt this is either their own pure speculation, or from reading another rag's made-up speculation.

Anyone can say Bellamy's going & probably will, whether he is or not, along with Ireland SWP etc etc. If more signings come, there'll be even more kite flying & everyone frome ade to Lescott will be fair game..

When it comes to football rumours, no newspaper is trustworthy, they all lie through their teeth on a daily basis.

It made no sense to sell Dunney to Villa, but we did!!

made total sense to me

12 months too late but still made total sense

I know you disliked him with a passion, but it made no sense to sell your captain to a CL rival in August.

It came back and bit us big style when we had injuries in the defence, and selling him in the January window would have been more prudent. It wasn't as if we needed the money.

Look at his performances at Villa, I am sure he would have been as good for us, as it would have been the first time in years that he would have had to fight for his place, rather than being the first name on the teamsheet each week.

And I am sure most city supporters would have been happier with Dunne playing against the scum than Boyata.(yourself excepted of course)

What might be an idea for the the media to do, would be to go back to the day Bellamy signed, when he stated that he was joining a club that had ambition. And that he was willing to fight for his place in the team, he also stated at the time that he only had 3 yrs at the top left in him, and that he wanted to win things in that time.

Now the only thing for me, that as changed is the management, but Bellamys appetite has'nt. Its also been publically stated by Mancini, that he wants Craig to stay.

Bellers should be relishing the current situation, and IMO will be ready for the fight, which is a win win situation for both US, and the club

at the end of the day manchester city fc come 1st you carn,t feel sorry for a player when he earns more in a week than i earn in 3or 4 years. he tryed his best for us and was playing out of position on left wing ,now we have bought we have more options.

I'll be very surprised if this isn't true & what's more, I recon the new players will struggle to keep him out. If he goes, I recon it will be because he's forced out of the club, which would be incredibly stupid.

A city with Bellamy is a stronger city than without. Fact.

Selling him would hurt us, on his day Bellamy is up there with the best.

In my opinion after thinking on this matter, we could cash in on him and get a chunk of the money we payed back... but i think fook it, whats money to us now anyways he's got 2 years before his knees have totally gone, lets make best use of him now and push on.

Seeing as he is not worried about being a bit part player then we should not release him....daft move if we do.

12 months too late??

He was named in the premier league team of the year this year, so if anything, it was 12 months too early my friend.

I didn't notice our mighty defenders making the team of the year.
