Guest sicko2ndbest Posted July 6, 2007 Share Posted July 6, 2007 HELL'S BELLS EXCLUSIVE West Ham to sign bad boy Craig in amazing deal worth £25 By Alan Nixon 06/07/2007 Mirror WEST HAM swooped for Craig Bellamy in a £9million deal last night - and will give the Welsh firebrand a stunning £4m-a-year contract. Bellamy has opted to join Eggert Magnusson's Upton Park revolution after Liverpool showed him the door and let him go for signing talks yesterday. Hammers moved fast as they cushioned the blow of losing Carlos Tevez and waved their cheque book around to beat off Bellamy's old clubs Blackburn and Newcastle, plus Aston Villa. Bellamy has opted for a new challenge rather than a Rovers return or a second shot at being the Toon Army's hero. The size of the contract has been a big factor too. AdvertisementMagnusson is giving Bellamy a four-year deal worth around £16m, making the whole deal worth a staggering £25. But for all of the striker's negatives he has plenty of positives that had buyers queuing up for him. Bellamy landed his dream move to Anfield last summer but after boss Rafa Benitez left him out of the starting line-up the problems started and came to a head with his golf clubswinging attack on team-mate John Arne Riise. Even then Benitez resisted approaches for Bellamy, but when his money men demanded an end-of-season clear-out to fund the Fernando Torres deal it was all over for the fiery star. Bellamy has been teasing his would-be suitors over the past few weeks. He sent texts to Blackburn players and staff, telling them he was coming back.

Guest Ridzuan Posted July 6, 2007 Share Posted July 6, 2007 Oh well,I wouldnt mind having him playing for us again but it turns out that he is not interested and the lure of big money is too much for him to turn down.West Ham must be dying to have him at the club that they are willing to offer such amount for him.

Dinho lad Posted July 6, 2007 Share Posted July 6, 2007 Load of shite A - We weren't interested B - If we were, he'd be here in no time. He' loves the club blah blah blah... Didn't someone here predict that he wouldn't last long at Liverpool? Journeyman footballer, tbh! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted July 6, 2007 Share Posted July 6, 2007 Congrats to Liverpool if they get £9m for him. We probably got half of that for the simple reason that a fat blob of lard had made Souness manager. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest niina Posted July 6, 2007 Share Posted July 6, 2007 It's stupid if we sold him for £4m then buy him again £9m And it's even more stupid considering we were let him go not because of his inability on the pitch (bad performance etc) but because the inability of the manager to handle him Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
