How Arsenal could do with a pitbull like Bellamy
Passionate: Craig Bellamy has impressed this season for Manchester City
When I did what I do every summer and compiled a list of all the players I’d like to sign for Arsenal, it included the likes of Messi, Ronaldo, Torres and Gerrard. It didn’t include the name Craig Bellamy.
In fact, short of penning the words Robbie and Savage, I can’t think of anyone less likely to have been on my shortlist.
Yet watching Bellamy’s performances for Manchester City this season, I’ve realised how wrong I was.
Bellamy is EXACTLY the kind of player we need at the Emirates. He’s an honest thug and I mean that as a compliment.
Seeing him terrorise Manchester United’s defence and score two great goals in the process, I saw a ferocity of determination, guts and spirit that you just don’t find in so many gifted young foreign players (and we have hundreds of them at Arsenal, so I speak as something of an expert in the genre).
He never stops running, whether into his own or rival penalty areas, he never stops tackling, he never stops complaining and he never stops trying.
The man is a human pitbull terrier, a snarling, aggressive, loyal, passionate, nasty piece of work who is best muzzled for his own safety.
Every time Bellamy steps on to the pitch he makes the statement: ‘Mess with me and you’re going to get it, sunshine.’
Arsenal used to have guys like that - men like Vieira, Parlour, Adams,
Keown. The kind who lined up in the tunnel like gladiators in a Roman amphitheatre, prepared to fight to the finish to win.
Now we don’t. And when I watch Bellamy blowing his fuse, for the right reasons, I wish we had.
