Bellamy's Goal last night

[Bridge'srightfoot]

It's almost laughable to suggest it was a good decision to get rid of Bellamy because he was a 'bad influence'.

[Pretty Boy Lee]

Losing Bellamy was something that many of us disagreed with, but the FA cup and a serious title challenge this season mean I'll probably live with the odd mistake from Bobby.

[Dunnylad]

With a switched on team, consistent refs and missing players not missing we'd have won - Bellamy was a disruptive individual who can't play week in week out, we were right to get rid & it says more about Liverpool that they wanted Bellamy so much, whilst our rivals for the title didn't

four strikers who have cost us dear this season

No it isn't. Leslie himself said that he had brought Bellamy in to disrupt and unsettle the dressing room as he felt it was too cosy. Mancini takes a different view and brought in Vieira to calm down the dressing room! Mancini's authority has to be absolute so Bellamy had to go.

It's actually laughable that you think we should have kept Bellamy. He should never have been signed by Hughes and now they are both gone and City are top of the league playing the best football i have ever seen them play. I've been watching City for fifty years or more. Bellamy is more trouble than he is worth. A journeyman footballer

I don't see why people dislike the guy. He was fantastic for us, always, always gave 100%. Never gave up and above all he's a bloody good footballer. He's easily been better than Johnson and Nasri have been for us. We would have picked up quite a few more points if he'd still been here, wonderful player.

As you say, he's no more trouble than Balotelli. In fact Tevez handed in a transfer request and Bob still let him stay on as captain. Why couldn't he give Bellamy the same flexibility?

Hardly any City fans do dislike the guy. It's a warped internet bullshit thing. How many players have had a reception like Bellamy got ? Then when you take into account it was whilst wearing a Liverpool shirt. That said it all.

Balo, has his own RM rules, there lies the problem for players like Bellers. Roberto, has not applied the same rules to others. He has had a Hughes player attitude so do one, Balo better be worth it, cause if we win Jack shit both will be history. No other manager would say so little publicly, players get pissed off at that. RM will face issues if Balo causes more problems. I count problem such as not being available.

Tbh, if that's what Bob has decided then I don't mind, he'll sort it one way or the other & Mario is a one off. I can accept he doesn't like Bellamy so he got rid, which was imo a football mistake.

It's the horrible belittling of Bellamy's excellent City career by apologists which does my head in. He became one of my favourite players & people inventing shit and lies about him really gets on my tits. You can see it's bollocks by the reaction of the City players to him.

Bellers had the feel for the fans, his piss take of Wio, giving them murders was enough for me, for Platt or Kidd to nudge RM and say we need him, sort it and reap the benefits his spikeyness is missing now. Bellers would have given refs hell if he was being shafted week in week out and he would have fucked Rooney right off with VK walking, Bellers is not nice, we are to nice.

Balotelli isn't disruptive in the same way at all, youthful high jinks combined with a lack of common sense is not the same thing as an A-personality that messes with peoples' heads! Balotelli responds well to an arm round him from a senior pro, Bellamy would turn around and break it...

The difference is Bellamy doesn't need the manager to do anything other than let him get on with it. He was the perfect 4th striker. It was a mistake.

[Hazy2]

Bellamy, does not do double standards in his world, RM made a decision to end the battles with him fair enough, trouble is Mario has been far worse and more to the point on the pitch, where RM has had to suffer it. It does appear man management is an area we could improve, I mean fuck it I want MCFC winning everything, if they all have to give some ground along the way to make it happen, so be it. I could not care less, Mario could show more passion and I do care for me. The me me is cool, but not a long term plan.

"Bellamy doesn't need..." It's not about what Bellamy needs, it's about what the manager needs and the manager doesn't need an alternate power source disrupting his team. End of story, no mistake made.

Utter bollocks. I wasn't happy when we were signing Bellamy as all I'd really seen were the media snipes. And I wasn't alone.
He never gave anything less than 100% for us and won the fans over. He fell out with Mancini over the training. In the last interview I saw with Mancini he admitted he'd got training wrong initially with the double sessions which were too much for this league.

Bellamy would offer us a lot at the moment, starting occasional games and being available on the bench for others. Privately, I suspect Mancini knows he made a mistake in getting rid of him even if he'd never admit it.

Well we are all entitled to our opinions and i'm not missing Bellamy playing for city, not at all. I think Socrates explains it correctly above.

It's about whatever pile of shite you characters can invent as the latest reason for him being kicked out. You'll invent something else if this one gets contradicted, like all the others. Perhaps if he gets injured we can dredge that old chestnut back up again..or accuse him of engineering a move to Spurs.
