Isn't it odd ?

That the signing everyone is so hopeful for, excited about and the majority of fans believe we need is the SAME player we signed last season! Craig Bellamy.....

Nobody knows what's going to happen, and I bet Craig's in bit more of a state than we are about it right now!

Anyone reckon that he's accepted he's stuck in reserves for a season on 90k a week in the knowledge he'll come on a FREE next season?

Tevez on £200k a week has fallen through hadn't it? Though has a price tag now of £50m :?

Bryn Law was at the Manchester City vs Stalybridge Celtic game last night and he felt it was Manchester City's way of putting their unwanted players in the shop window. They are actively trying to get rid of Bellamy but Bellamy knows what he's doing. Primarily he wants to come back here but the next best thing is Celtic. Other than that he's not going anywhere and he knows Man City would rather loan him to us and get £30k off his wages a week than have him in the reserves all season on £90k. This is a game of chess and neither side is buckling.

Yes it fell through. The brazilian transfer window shut at 4 this morning, Corinthians had pulled out of the deal two days ago giving up hope of being able to sign him in time.
