Premier League Manchester City
by RedConqueror (U13767342) 19 January 2009
comment on the article

Manchester City have agreed a fee with West Ham to sign striker Craig Bellamy, the London club have confirmed.

The Welshman was left out of the squad for Sunday's 3-1 win over Fulham after making it clear to club officials on Friday that he wanted to leave.

And the Hammers thrashed out a deal with City on Sunday after resigning themselves to losing the 29-year-old.

The fee is thought to be £14m, while Spurs' interest has ended after West Ham refused to do business with them.

yeah that's exactly what city need, another striker...after all they are awful upfront.

--------------------------------------

Well they do really considering their strikers who have played in the Premiership are:

Jo - 1 goal
Benjani - 1 goal
Sturridge - 3 goals
Evans - 1 goal
Caicedo - 2 goals

WOW! What a strike force, between them they add up to Steven Ireland

He's such a petulant little idiot. City are welcome to him in my opinion.

mark hughes is mad.craig bellamy-as everyone knows-may be a great player but his history suggests that he cannot get on with other people and cannot stay for a long time at a club.and he is too old-29.by splashing out so much cash,mark hughes is killing the real manager inside him that took wales and blackburn too glory and is becoming more of a windpw shopper.
