CooperSF 5,792 Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 West Ham have rejected an improved offer from Manchester City for striker Craig Bellamy, BBC Sport understands. City boss Mark Hughes said last week that a joint bid for Bellamy and Scott Parker had been turned down, but City have gone back for the Wales striker. The latest bid for Bellamy, 29, is believed to be about £9m. West Ham, whose owner Bjorgolfur Gudmundsson may sell the club, insist they do not want to offload players and are under no pressure to do so.

Jiggaman88 10 Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 You would think with the money that have they would be looking at better players than Bellamy. Although I believe the most money should be spent trying to tempt Mourinho to the club. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amac9 2,060 Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 Man City could go for a younger and cheaper version of Craig Bellamy. £9m+ for a player who is usually injured would not indicate good business but I suppose £9m to City would be like loose change.

KERRZO 5 Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 Bellamy has been in cracking form this season and is the sole reason West Ham are climbing the table, without him they would be really struggling!!! A fit Craig Bellamy is an asset to any team in the premiership IMO. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
papaguy51 941 Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 A fit Craig Bellamy is worth £9m, even if he did turn out for Sinn Fein's sporting wing a few times. Unfortunately, the most important part of the valuation is the most doubtful - his fitness! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

trueblue1872 2 Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 TBH it's a joke. They go for Robinho and then start signing players like Parker and Bridge. Don't get me wrong Parker, Bridge and Bellamy are all good players but only good for a mid table side. They wana be the cream of the crop they'll have to aim alot higher.

Blue Stars Bearette 1 Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 Bellamy wants to go to Spurs but West Ham have refused to let him go Sky Sports News understands West Ham United have rejected Craig Bellamy's request to leave the club in order to join Tottenham Hotspur. Spurs and Manchester City have both spent the transfer window pursuing Bellamy, with the Hammers turning down multiple bids for the Wales international. West Ham remain determined to keep hold of their best players in January and made moves to secure Bellamy's future at Upton Park. Bellamy was offered a new contract by the club on Thursday, but turned down the extension after talks with chief executive Scott Duxbury. He also asked Duxbury to be allowed to leave the Hammers for the club's London rivals, but his request was knocked back. that will make him popular with the Hammer fans Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muff 245 Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 Sky Sports sources understand West Ham have given Craig Bellamy permission to speak to Manchester City. Bellamy's future at Upton Park has been the subject of intense speculation over the last few days after West Ham rejected bids from City and Tottenham for the Welsh striker. The former Liverpool and Newcastle star had asked the club to allow him to talk to City and Spurs after turning down the offer of a new deal at Upton Park. Hammers boss Gianfranco Zola omitted Bellamy from his 18-man squad for Sunday's 3-1 victory over Fulham at Upton Park, increasing speculation that the Welshman is set to leave the East London outfit. Tottenham boss Harry Redknapp conceded after Sunday's draw with Portsmouth that he feared he might lose out to City for Bellamy and Spurs are believed to have made a new bid for 28-year-old. It now appears City have agreed a fee with West Ham for Bellamy as Mark Hughes looks to be reunited with a player he worked with during his time in charge of Blackburn and Wales. Bellamy is expected to travel to Manchester to hold talks and undergo a medical as City look to tie up a deal for the forward. http://www.skysports.com/story/0,19528,11661_4813708,00.html Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
