Ronaldo Posted November 13, 2014 Share Posted November 13, 2014 Anyone doubting Bellamy's contribution should have a look at 02-03. He played a part in a staggering amount of goals that season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hughesy Posted November 13, 2014 Share Posted November 13, 2014 Must admit that I thought Shearer got the better of the deal due to Bellamy's pace and workrate. Bellamy ran his bollocks off, dragged defenders all over the place which gave Shearer a bit more time and space. The two of them dovetailed superbly and were a right handful for any defence around at that time. I think that's a bit of myth due to the fact that Bellamy's finishing when he was with us was so erratic. Without as prolific a striker as Shearer, Bellamy would have struggled due to his poor goal return. He was a 1 in 3 striker for us and for a top 4 team, that isn't quite good enough by itself. So I think they both benefitted basically.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I think they both benefitted basically.. Souness didn't think much of his finishing and while he wasn't clinical, he was much more than a finisher. He dragged defences all over the place by pulling out wide, ran on to Shearer's flicks perfectly, crossed brilliantly from wide and was a cracking striker of the ball from distance with that left foot.

That's kind of my point. Bellamy did things Shearer couldn't do and vice versa. What I am saying is that because Bellamy didn't have great finishing skills (I still have nightmares over the number of chances (especially one on ones) that he would miss), he needed a striker alongside him to be prolific.

Guest TruToon94 Posted November 13, 2014 Share Posted November 13, 2014 To be fair to Bellamy he hates NUFC fans because of the way the majority of them treated Bobby in his last season and in my opinion he's damned right. Thus why we now have Pardew in charge and are a small club, sadly. It's very personal to Bellamy, make no doubts about that but he was class. The amount of pace we had in attack under Sir Bobby was ludicrous. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hughesy Posted November 13, 2014 Share Posted November 13, 2014 If Bellamy had treated and respected Bobby in the way that he should have done, then he might have a point (even if the stories about how we treated Bobby are grossly exaggerated). As it is, he can piss off. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The College Dropout Posted November 13, 2014 Share Posted November 13, 2014 Great article and it's brilliant that Edward's pointed out that's the way society is going. Bellamy's comments at the weekend bothered me. He was giving the big one about how we expect to be better than Liverpool but we really shouldn't have that expectation. I thought he had some bloody nerve. For the majority of the time he spent here he was on Liverpool-like wages. We have top support. We should demand to compete on that level. If we get top 7 revenue and wages, we should be in the top 7. If we have the potential to get either of the two in the top 4 - we should try. We won't get there with Pardew. Bellamy is a jumped-up ignorant worm - had a decent spell at NUFC under SBR but has always been a trouble-maker and stirrer. Not worth a tuppeny toss... A 'decent spell'. He was very arguably our best player for the 3 seasons we finished in our highest positions since Keegan. In your view, maybe - he missed easy chances and he was the main beneficiary of Shearer's ability to take the pressure and lead the line. All Bellamy did was pick up the pieces - and he never, ever, achieved the same success with another club. Your main point is horrendously wrong as others have mentioned. Shearer didn't manage a single good season after Bellamy left. Shearer benefited from Bellamy tremendously (and vice versa). Also his career after us was pretty successful tbf. When we where on our way to mediocrity and relegation Bellamy had his most prolific scoring season the following year (17 in 32), won a couple cups, got his home club promoted to the PL for the first time ever, scored and assisted in a CL QF victory at the Nou Camp. Never, ever amounted to much after? Laughable. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
