Good News….Bellamy

HE will probably be perfecting his golf swing for use indoors.

Bellamy won't play against Stoke, you need the height.

Expect to see Kuyt and Carroll up front with Suarez coming on later
-------
You could have said we needed the height v Bolton, only if we were going to try and repel their attacks, kenny is wiser than that, he went with a mobile forward line. Same as what should happen v Stoke. Theyll come expecting a physical battle v Carroll but will get lots of movement pulling their defence all over the place.

Stoke have made their successes through organised set ups. The trick is to get them disorganised.

Dont know what the hype is with Bellamy. This guy is a proper b3ll-3nd and is NOT a LFC player.
If he was so good, why haven't Arsenal/Chavski/Utd, etc signed him on a free?

Don't agree with you gurdev, Bellamy while over 30 still has terrific movement, ok his attitude is suspect, but as long as he applies himself on the pitch I'm ok with that.

We needed another attacker and we've got an experienced one.

I'm sure we will spend again in the January window so I wouldnt worry too much.

Arsenal got benayoun, what of it? I dare say Bellamy will be much more effective than the Jewish maradona.

N'gog would struggle to get a hat trick in the Europa league let alone the Champions League.... Also I doubt he would ever win you a game against City in the dieing moments with his great movement...

True that, but he might find space on the edge of the box before cooling slotting into the corner in the dying moments of a game against Man United.

Oh dear lord, I'm defending N'Gog. What is the World coming to

Are you seriously suggesting N'Gog is more talented than Owen ?!

I now you don't like him because he's at United and what he did to Liverpool but N'Gog hasn't got half the ability Owen has

Are you seriously suggesting N'Gog is more talented than Owen ?!

That would be ridiculous to suggest, after what Owen did earlier in his career (at Liverpool!).

Now Owen is just a squad player and doesn't have the pace that was his weapon. Bellamy on the other hand is still quick, more versatile and more of a danger than Owen is now, so I would say Liverpool have a better squad option upfront now.

Don't get me wrong I never stated Owen to be better than Bellamy, Owen is the better finisher (probably the better movement as well) but Bellamy makes up for that with his all round game....

Certainly when he was at City he was a really good player and better than Owen is now, although I do wonder how much of his ability he has lost since then... not much judging solely on the Wales game...

It is a bit of an unfair comparison as Owen is well further down in the pecking order than Bellamy at Liverpool... Berbatov, Welbeck or Hernandez would be a fairer comparison for their squad place...

I suppose Welbeck would be a better comparison as he is quite versatile too.

Welbeck is a great prospect for Man Utd I hate to say.

I am pretty excited about Welbeck, If him and Rooney could hit it off at club level it could be great for England as well. I see him Sturridge and Walcott as the exciting future for our strike force (England that is) with maybe Carroll there as a different option if he can improve.

The signing of Bellamy and Coates does complete your squad quite nicely, Bellamy offers something a bit different to Carroll and his love of the game and passion can not be questioned. Coates admittedly I haven't seen him play but to be young player of the tournement must mean he is at least pretty good and defence has been one of the weaker parts of your team last few years imo.
