Thu May 15, 2014 10:16 am

Yes or No...

Personally I think he should.

nothing wrong with him carrying on playing, just not for us.

His wages do seem a problem considering the potential amount of game time we are gonna get.
But from Craig's view what's he got left now?
He took his home town club to the prem.
He played for his boyhood favs.
His fitness isn't cutting it.
His hearts not really in it.

Can't blame him for that I would have done the same, anyway if he signs for another season I would love it,as long as he settles for championship wages, he still has a lot to offer :thumbup:

He's had a fantastic career but, judging by performances and general attitude in the season or two, he needs to give up playing.

I would think that his Sierra Leone foundation is the only thing keeping him in the game.

How much we talking a week ? £40, 000?

How many games he played? 15?

How many of those games did he put a shift in?

Fact is Bellamy don't like us, he doesn't justify his wages anymore, time to go.
But thanks for the 3 seasons you were here.

Can probably pay for 2 quality players that make a difference on his wages.

ok, agree in regards to his wages and they should come down in line with a level more akin to the championship.

However, he still brings a lot of quality, aggression, direction and attacking threat to the team. As a team we were crying out for him the last few games so not quite sure why he's hardly been included. Reading his book then he does seem, when things get tough, to descend into a spiral of depression and negativity so perhaps that's why he hasn't been selected? if we can sort that out then I think he brings so much and could still) then it would be mad to let him go!

all these fans jumping on him because of how he reacted to some is a bit silly imo. We deserved it after the treatment we were giving players. As Bellers said, he didn't recognise us!

I hope so.

He's on a large wage packet and despite what he's done for the club this needs to be considered. 40,000 a week in the championship is an incredible amount of money, especially for the amount of games he will contribute to over the next season. However he has said in the past that he would like to take up management so maybe a coaching role?

I dont think he will retire but hopefully he wont be with us.

Re: Bellamy To Retire?

aint done hardly anything for us in his second spell and he shouldn't be taking a starting place over players like mason etc all best to him if he plays on but he shouldn't be with us

He has contributed to what? 3 goals this season? 40k a week and is a sick note. I fail to see how anyone could make a case for him staying. All he does is run around a bit, like Cowie and he is slated constantly on here. That's how I see Bellamy, a more odious version of Cowie.
