Is he back with Rovers?
he certainly is - we will have a brilliant midfield next season
Craig Bellamy has refused to play for West Ham today.
He’s annoyed at having transfer requests turned down apparently.
They’re refusing to entertain any bids from Spurs - must be a London thing - but he might be on his way to Manchester City.
Great stuff. I’d been thinking about adopting an LOI club and with Rovers moving out in my generally direction going to games would have been that bit handier.
This move has made up my mind for me.

Surely the prospect of playing with bellamy will be the incentive to make Kaka sign…
Cracker there from Konchesky …
Re: Bellend. Some bit of business, bought him in for 7 mill 18 months ago, he was out for around 10 of them injured, 4 of the other 8 months were the summer. Got on fine without him for that length of time, ta for the 14 mill we’re going to get out of you.
1st March Citae are in Upton Park. The tatted taff won’t have to worry though, his hammer (no pun intended) will have gone at that stage; bit cold up north.
Lotta anger there locke, lotta anger.
I had a lot more said and went back over it, took out most of the real anger I have against that cash chasing judas cunt! But it’s Monday and I want to channel my energies into work for a change.
This coming from a club that employs Lucas Neill?
Touch

Was talking to him over the christmas, and he was still hopeful of a move to Scotland, but that must have fell through.
Drogs owe him 30 large…
Good business alright Locke-
West Ham accept City bid for Bellamy
West Ham United have accepted a bid from Manchester City for striker Craig Bellamy.
The Wales striker has been given permission to speak to City boss Mark Hughes after the Blues’ bid was accepted, with an equal offer from Tottenham Hotspur turned down.
Bellamy, 29, demanded a transfer to Spurs on Friday but his club were unwilling to sell to their rivals and also had private concerns over how their striker’s head was turned.
The Hammers received bids of around 15m for their Wales international but only City’s offer was accepted and Bellamy is now expected to complete a medical.
Bellamy was left out of the Hammers squad which defeated Fulham on Sunday, with manager Gianfranco Zola stating the player was ‘not in the right frame of mind’.
Bellamy was offered a fresh contract last week in a bid to keep him at Upton Park but he turned the deal down.
Hammers fans turned on Bellamy during the 3-1 victory over Fulham, while Spurs fans also used internet forums to protest against signing the striker.
City have already had three separate bids for Bellamy turned down, and it was thought the much-travelled striker would have preferred to join Spurs.
And, with the Hammers refusing to do business with their London rivals, it appears Bellamy has accepted the lure of life at Eastlands.
Redknapp could still sign Wilson Palacios from Wigan Athletic, with suggestions that City would drop their interest in the Honduras midfielder after a breakthrough with Bellamy.
Hughes knows Bellamy well, both with Wales and at Blackburn Rovers, and has never had a problem with the player’s temperament.
It is not expected there will be any problem with the player’s medical, and personal terms should be a formality too, given the amount of money City have at their disposal.
It seems that Bellamy will not be the only new arrival at City this week, either, as Holland midfielder Nigel de Jong should complete his big-money move from Hamburg.
Both men are expected to be in Hughes’ squad for the 28 January meeting with Newcastle United.
City’s excesses are good news, if for no other reason that its fucking up 'Arry’s transfer dealings, thats Bellamy fucked, and Palacios deal also hanging in the balance.
I’m really enjoying 'appy ‘arry’s frustrations. His great strength, we’re led to believe, is ‘makin’ a playa’ feel good about ‘imself.’ So it was no surprise when he first joined to hear him going overboard in his praise of nearly every player at the club in an effort to boost confidence. They went on that initial run but their recent poor form seems to be driving him demented and he’s openly criticising players now. Yesterday it was Darren Bent in the firing line for missing a chance 'arry’s ‘missus would have scored’ and he also said he’d no confidence in his two 'keepers. I hope he doesn’t manage to sign anyone.
Looks like Kaka is going to need the money.
me too I hate the prick with a passion. The Bellamy Defoe partnership would never have worked anyway. Methinks he is starting to wobble more than a bit.
Bellamy is a terrible signing for 14m. Injury prone, streaky scorer of goals certainly not consistent, poison in the dressing room and unlikely to improve. West Ham must be laughing. Kevin Doyle might not be a bad signing for them.
