Now that is the most mind-boggling/clueless statement I've read on here in awhile.
1. He may have supposedly been doing it before bob got here but not during.
2. What Bob wants from his players now isn't the same as what he wanted a year ago (set the foundation then build going forward)
3. Why would you think that was the case if Bob locked him out?
4. That wasn't the case
I recon he did exactly what Bob asks our forward players to do now & did it whilst Bob was here. The other forwards & wide midfielders are gradually learning to do what Bellamy already did. I recon pretty much all of our best performances that season were heavily influenced by him & most of our best goals/moments of the season involved him & if Bob had wanted him to refine his play in any way, all he would have to do is tell him. Simple.
He wasn't kicked out for football reasons.
