Funny how she asks him to "tell me about some of the nonsense that we are likley to hear regarding transfers" and he comes out with this.
Very unlikley he'd come here I would have thought. But I reckon he is the kind of player who would fancy making a big impact at stoke. He would love the atmosphere and would suit our footballing ethos. Lets hope we made an impression on him at the two home games last year.

thing is with bellamy he's real quick, you can blast the ball ahead of him down the channels on a counter attack, he can chase it, get there before the defenders and he's good at holding up the ball.
he would actually fit in playing with fuller imo, he could be a target man as such, you don't have to put it on his head, just into some space in the vicinity he's in towards the flanks.

What better way for Pulis to answer his critics than Bellamy's loan.
He would have his wages subsidised and no need to move house + first team football.
I think it's a 'go'er definitely.

Great player but get real we would be a long way down the pecking order on this one. Spurs will be top of that list

Maybe Man City would prefer him to come to a non-challenger, and a team who isn't going to make their life difficult.
And maybe they'd be willing to help such a team out financially to do the deal?

He may be a prat but what a good player (Fuller with goals?)
This could make our season very exciting. Can't see it happening though, shirley?

Listening to the monday night club on 5 live last night the subject turned to bellamy and his mate robbie savage said he would definitely take a pay cut to play regular football.
The bloke has enough money for the rest of his life and is passionate about the actual ball on the pitch. He sounds like a bloke who won't sit around picking up his dough. He wants to play. If TP can convince him of our ambition and plans then this could well be a goer in my eyes.

it may be a bit soon to say it but if torres ends up at man citeh i can see bellamy going the other way as part of the deal.

Bellamy was one of, if not, the best player in the first few months of last season.Not a cat in hells chance of this happening.

This would be an amazing signing, but is surely not going to happen?? You would think Spurs, Villa, Everton etc would all be in for him ahead of us??

would this still mean we'd be after carlton cole?
spells the end for tuncay imo if we were.
Cole & Bellamy, Fuller and sidibe. 2 players for each role, where would tuncay fit in? you can't loan craig bellamy and stick him on the right wing, surely, he scores goals, somthing our strikers atm don't.

I'm sure we would all love Bellamy to sign for Stoke but I just can't see it happening.

That's a good point, they certainly have the money to manipulate the league in which ever way they wish so i don't think that is a bad suggestion Grapey at all. |

They are not desperate to sell him but he isn't going to play for them, so he may as well cause some damage playing for a club like us. |

You'd certainly think not, wouldn't you? But we are all pretty desperate so we will hang on to any shred of hope I suppose! |

For what it's worth, and for Grapey's theory, I think that it's not as impossible as people are thinking. Our "ONLY" problem is selling the club to him over the likes of Villa and Everton, providing that they are interested and that Man City actually wish to offload him.
Lots of "ifs" but this is the sort of signing that would kick us up to the next level, something that TP is obviously keen to do in this window.
Not impossible!

What did you say Tony? That we're planning to sign him on loan or that he won't be coming?

If the club has whacked it straight on their website then I think there's a fair chance we're not even interested him.
When asked about a rumour he plays every question with a straight bat so he'd hardly sanction someone then broadcasting our intentions to the world via the official site.
