To be honest, if he's a back up striker with a target of 5-10 goals this season, for the trouble he brings we'd have been better of keeping N'Gog.

I don' know where all this negativity is coming from. IMO Bellamy is a great addition to our squad and will be a firecracker for us. He still has bags of pace despite his age and knows where the back of the net is. He had great chemistry with gerrard in his 1st spell at Liverpool. I think he will be utilized in games around the 65 minute mark, once Suarez has tired out opposition defences. I think it's a great signing.

As long as he keeps his tone down and play football.

he likes golf but dislikes J.A.R.loves sheep and mouthing off.

I think Bellamy is old enough to know better than to cause trouble at LFC. He has matured as a player and I think he will keep himself in check and besides, you know that if he steps out of line Kenny have have him ironed and folded within minutes.

Agreed!

I think he is a good gample providing you recognise he is short term. Carroll is going to find it even more difficult with Bellamy and Kuyt up front with Saurez. I can see Carroll being used a lot as an impact sub.

Bellamy is very a tenacious striker with pace and Premier League experience. He's a Liverpool fan who took a 50% pay cut to return, which says a lot in my opinion.

He won't be bullied off the ball like N'gog was (who I happen to think will do very well at Bolton). Bellamy is strong, aggressive and also clinical in front of goal. He can play anywhere upfront and as others have mentioned he's very comfortable on either wing.

The obvious draw back with Bellamy is his temperament. He has fallen out with a fair few managers and players alike down the years but at 32 years of age and nearing the end of his career.. I think he'll be over all of that.

To sum up, I'd say he's a massive improvement on N'gog and can play a variety of positions. I'm shocked that his signing has been met by any negativity! Our bench has lacked EXACTLY this kind of player recently and I'm very happy with this signing.
