Are we gonna make one decent signing in four years or is that to much to expect from the board ??

Before you cast your votes have a read of this.

Bellamy wants to stay a Bhoy

March 17, 2005
GLASGOW (AFP) - Craig Bellamy has revealed that he wants to turn his loan stay at Scottish champions Celtic into a permanent move.

The Wales striker, offloaded by Newcastle after a spectacular bust-up with manager Graeme Souness, has quickly established himself as a key figure in Celtic's bid to retain their Scottish Premier League title.

And after scoring one goal and winning the penalty that led to the second in Wednesday night's crucial 2-0 win over Inverness Caledonian Thistle, Bellamy insisted he sees his long-term future in Glasgow.

"This is a great club and it's been so easy for me to settle in," he said. "I knew one or two of the lads prior to arriving here but they've been no different to the rest in making me feel really welcome."

Bellamy's first few weeks in Scotland were marred by controversy following reports that he had taunted opponents about how much he earned in one match then refused to shake hands with his marker at the end of another game.

He insists however that he has been the victim of media misrepresentation.

"Honestly, I've really enjoyed it here - every minute of it," he told Celtic View. "It's been a tough time in a lot of respects because of everything that's happened off the field and the treatment I've had from the media and certain people who have never even met me.

"But this is a chapter of my career that, now I've got my head round what happened at Newcastle, I'm really relishing.

Bellamy added that he was determined to persuade manager Martin O'Neill to offer him a permanent contract -- although there are doubts as to whether Celtic can meet Newcastle's six-million-pound valuation of the controversial star.

[B]"Whatever I need to do to make Celtic want to sign me and be able to, I'll try to do that," Bellamy said.[/B]

"If I can do so well that the fans are clamouring for me to stay, brilliant. That's the position I want to be in.

"This is a great opportunity. I'll obviously have to weigh up my options during the summer but if I continue to enjoy it here and play really well between now and the end of the season it (staying at Celtic) would be a fantastic option for me."

Wednesday's victory moved Celtic back to within a point of Rangers at the top of the SPL and O'Neill's men can go top when they play their game in hand at Dundee United on Saturday.

"Everyone seems to be raving about Bellamy and Aiden McGeady as well and I wouldn't disagree," O'Neill said.

"It was an important result for us -- we have even clawed back some of the goal difference (compared with Rangers) and we will now try to win the game against Dundee United.

"We are right back in it and must capitalise on what we have done, although I still think there will be one or two twists."

Caley Thistle boss Craig Brewster admitted Bellamy and McGeady had been simply too hot to handle for his side.

"Celtic showed their class and to bring in a player like Bellamy midway through the season has given them a massive lift.

"You can see he is a special player. The Celtic players believe that as well. He can hurt teams and is a great outlet."

Gotta sign Bellamy he's given the Celts a real boost in attacking play, absolutely fantastic player ! Time for the board to get the chequebooks opened and give Newcastle what they want for him.

Why are you's all so quick to beliave Bellamy?

I think he will stay too, but if you read ALL of the interview I think you can see he's not just as desperate to sign as that one quote suggests. He will be a great signing if we get him and I think we will. Him and McGeady together are a frightining prospect for ANY opponents!

Hail Hail!

No chance. No money to buy him or pay him, no prospects playing is Scotland, and he'll have his choice of EPL clubs (outside the top 3) come the summer.

Yeah I know which 1 you mean, but I have read the whole interview and what I am saying is it's not as promising as that quote makes it out to be.

Think the board should bend over backwards to get bellamy - it would not only secure a first class player - but would signal celtics intention to other players in the next transfer window-with players like bellamy at the club - celtic would look a more attractive option to some - IMO

Couldn't agree more! It's about time they greedy * done something and MON really should offload Juninho and use his wages for Bellamy's.

think that will be his first move in July - IMO MON didn't have anything to do with the brazilians signing - think it was all the board - trying to take the pressure of themselves - hence MON being reluctant to play him

Must be something more into it prob right what you say - although I do think MON looked chuffed at the start of the season getting Juninho. Wotever it is he hasn't worked so get him off the wage bill and make us all happy and sign Bellamy!

As a Tynesider the crack down here is that Bellamy is not comming back to Newcastle, i think freddy shepherd and souness has made that quite clear, but as for him starting celtic at the begining off next season remains to be seen,m theres rumours that the toon are off loading him to Aston Villa for 4 million and nobby silano . so if you ask me he will only stay a celt if nobody else comes up with the goods

Its not like we cant afford it, if we wanted to. But none of this money stuff makes sense...for *'s sake...celtic's one of the top income teams in europe....nd yet the board says we dont have any money?! i dont get it
