The forgotten man..

Craig Bellamy.
With tosser Tevez on his way out if any thick cunts wants to pay 50 million he's yours.
But now what about Bellamy, he was our best player the season he played most games, I'm sure he ain't past it yet.
And with all these wanna bes 20+ million pound ponce's being mentioned, why not look a bit closer to home.
Give him another chance Mancini you plum.

[lets all have a disco]

Wont happen.

Ade the same.

[twosips]

Silly pipe-dream. He's older, getting increasingly more knackered - not as fast as he was two years ago, and not the right profile of what we need to move forward.

[Crossie]

Indeed, its a shame, Ade on his day is a world class striker. I don't like him very much but if we gave him 38 games, he'd score 20 goals, easily.

I have a feeling Bellers effectiveness isnt up to the standard we need anymore.

[Wooders]

we've progressed beyond bellers and ade

Do you truly not know why he was moved out paul? Just when we were creating a TEAM too!

I know why he was moved out due to him not getting on with Mancini as i mentioned in my original post?
But he was possibly our best player that season and the next season he was shipped out on loan, they obviously do not get on but he's still a quality player I'm sure, all though he does have an attitude problem at times, maybe It's Mancini?

[Dubciteh]

Ade yes possibly, its too late for bellamy, he would of never been the main man for a team wanting to win the league even at his best imo....

[ashton287]

Yeah and bring back bridge and make shauny captain while your at it mancini you plum.

I loved the europa lettering we had aswell mate.

This for me, No doubt that Bellers did a job for us when he played but we have moved on now.

[Moonchesteri]

I thought this thread is gonna be about Jo!
is this going to be the season when he finally delivers or what will happen?

[colonel_muck]

I cannot believe people are so willing to write bellamy off. He wouldn't replace Tevez goal-wise but I would love to see him lining up for city again. 'We've moved past Bellers and Ade now' Who do we think we are? They are two quality players. Whether they play for us again or not.

Bellamy's injuries were obvious in his time with us, he had a special training regime, he couldnt play at the weekend and again in midweek. Another season has gone by since tghen and he is only going one way, FFS, Bellay was a top man and afans favourite but be realistic, can we afford to have someone in our squad who can only play every other game and thats if he is on form on not injured?

Its a NO from me, thanks craig and enjoy your time in the Sunday Pub League

[bobby brows]

Bellamy was good for us before he left for Cardiff...but he's not the player he was then he is now! It would be great to have him back but its not gonna happen!

As for Ade he's still got it but as someone mentioned the player 'leaks' have significantly decreased since he's left!

[irblinx]

Would be a waste of a precious squad place for the majority of the season as his legs have just gotten worse. Great player for us when he signed but we should be looking a class higher even if he didn't have fitness issues

I lol'd :D

No chance for Bellers. Ade could still have plenty to offer though if he was arsed.

He's a bad apple mate. So is Adebayor. In my opinion both are great players but Mancini knows how to build a great team, and who works against that. i dont think he'll be bothered to see the back of Tevez either to be honest, nor will the players. It's only the fact he's one of the world's great players that his nonsense has been tolerated here 2 years.

Same with Bridge mate, as soon as his agent started moaning about it he was out, same with SWP and his awful father.

Ship 'em out, the lot, get players whose interest is the club, not themselves or who want to question the manager all the time. Mancini IS the boss, and it's working.

It has nothing to do with footballing ability, injuries, reputation or price.

The simple reason that Robinho, Bellamy, Ade and a few others don't/didn't figure ahead of Jo is down to Mancini finally having the balls to build a team who know who the gaffer is.

It's also the same reason we lifted the FA Cup

I fully agree with this.

Like it or not but football team is a dictatorship. For better or for worse one man makes the decisions in football team and that same man shoulders the blame. Mancini HAD to stamp his authority and show the players who calling the shots. While Bellamy may have had short term benefits, in long term players will know not to question the gaffer. Otherwise you'll be shipped off. On the other hand, if players aren't following his orders, it's Mancini himself who will be on a bike.

[Ted Hughes]

It's nice to pretend that's true but if it was, Balotelli & Tevez wouldn't have been in it. The facts disagree with that premise 100%

The fact is that, if Mancini had thought that way it would mean he had one set of rules for some players & another set for others. That would make him a poor manager imo. I don't think that is the case, I just think he doesn't fancy Adebayor. I recon Bellamy asks questions about why things are done & he probably didn't fancy having to answer them all the time. Also Bellamy had been lined up as part of the Dzeko deal but wouldn't go, so we didn't get Dzeko at the time. Things went seriously pear shaped from there.
