Craig Bellamy

That's from the Daily Record, is it not?

 

"A senior source" aka "We need to fill the gap in the paper with this pish"

I wouldn't be surprised if we didn't go past £30/40k though.

 

Craig Bellamy 'could make surprise Liverpool return in cut-price transfer'

Liverpool's Roy Hodgson has emerged as the latest manager to express an interest in the transfer of out-of-favour Manchester City striker Craig Bellamy this summer.

Bellamy looks certain to leave City after casting doubts on the likelihood of making the club's 25-man squad for the upcoming Premier League season.
And Hodgson, who was a known admirer of Bellamy while Fulham manager, is keen to bring the Welshman back to Anfield just three years after he was sold by former boss Rafael Benitez.
Bellamy, 31, is still keen to stay at City but says he feels as if he is being forced out by current manager Roberto Mancini.
He told Sky Sports: ‘Reading between the lines how pre-season gone, it doesn’t look great for me.

'[Mancini] has not spoken to me since February.'
Bellamy continued: “I feel strongly I can offer something at the club but if I don’t get in the 25-man squad, I don’t know what I will do.
"I might finish, full stop, or look at every option I get.
"I feel I am not going to be part of it [at Manchester City]."
Despite off-field issues surrounding Bellamy in his previous stint on Merseyside - including allegations he hit then team-mate John Arne Riise with a golfclub during an argument - he remains something of a cult hero on the Kop.
His recent form for City has also demonstrated he has lost none of the pace that has terrorised Premier League defenders for several seasons.
And although the news of Hodgson's interest could spark debate among Liverpool fans, he could be regarded as a much more potent back-up threat than current number two striker David Ngog.

 

Sounds like the deals dead for us will although this rumour will run right upto the transfer deadline i can garentee that.

 

Aye slate the club it's there fault....FFs

 

I dont think we can afford the guy .

 

bellamy is 1/3 favourite to join celtic ....skybet.com
got to be something in that no?

 

Does the odds not just reflect the amount of money been placed on that specific bet? Therefor it could be more wishful thinking on our behalf than anything else.....hope not though.

 

Imagine a few Celtic reps put a bet on and told Bellamy if he signed he'd get half the winnings?haha.

 

it would be worth it to get him here lol:icon_mrgreen::icon_mrgreen::icon_mrgreen:

 

if the odds do reflect this then hopefully someone somewere knows something and thats the reason for such strong odds:icon_mrgreen::icon_mrgreen:

 

Depends on how much he wants per week.

 

Hope the 30 k a week wage cap is right delighted the club are doing this we cant afford to * away 65k a week on a player who has already said he is past his best and finnished ,

 

I think 30k is realistic for a loan deal surely Man City would pay some of it

 

I just wish they would get on with all the deals they are trying to do, the season starts on Sat ffs.

 

I think they are waiting on mcgeady to sign his deal first before any new signings come in

 

If he fails to make the 25 at city this season his time there is over and i can see him only being sold and not out on loan as He has no future at city deffo now after slamming the manager and owners he sealed his own exit ,

 

The club can't dictate the pace of dealings for every player they want

 

^^ Indeed. Especially with Bellamy who is waiting to see if he's made the 25 man City squad.

99% of the time it's the selling club dictating the pace and probably when resigned to losing their better players will do anything possible to throw spanners in the works...

 

Sure, we will probably have to wait till the end of the window as that sems to be the way nowadays,
