Magneto thinks Bellamy is like Beardsley

[magneto]

We've got rid of two left-sided players so those options are quite limited now.

 

Perhaps Rafa sees Riise as a left wing for the coming season assuming he gets Heinze.

[Swipe]

Must be weird to be sold by the club you support. Was never quite good enough for us and I think £9M is a good deal. That's almost half what we paid for Torres so let the 'net' merchants start their calcs!

 

Would be horrible. Last summer he must have been pinching himself. Now he knows he's being shipped out of his dream club.

 

It's a shame in a way, as he could be a useful squad man. But I agree he just wasn't at that level.

[magneto]

Don't think Rafa used him correctly to be honest. He reminded me a lot of Beardsley (stature and playing-wise).

 

He was our paciest striker though until Torres came along. Suppose Voronin was always going to be Bellamy's replacement.

Beardsley was a football genius, Bellamy is nowhere near that level of control.

 

Compare Bellamy to Nigel Clough maybe but not Peter Beardsley.

how was he suposed to use him then oh footballing genius.

 

And there is little to compare to Beardsley. If only there was. And if there was, Bellamy wouldn't be on his way out now would he.

What was what for? I'm just expressing a thought. I don't think he (Benitez) used him correctly. Thats all I said.

so Bellamy is more comparable to Beardsley is he ?

 

[honourablegeorge]

I'd agree on Bellamy to an extent - I think he suffered from our style of play somewhat though. You could argue that Kuyt wasn't used correctly either - he spent most of his time working wide areas and midfield, whereas his goals tally in Holland would suggest that he's better deployed up front. Bellamy's game was always about working the wide areas as much as it was about goals - the fact that he rarely had a man in the box to play off hurt him, but I think he suffered even more from lack of time on the pitch, both through injury and rotation, and he was definitely under a cloud with the court case, until the Wigan away game where he kicked into form.

 

Hopefully some quality in wide areas (if it arrives) will allow out strikers to spend more time being strikers.

Are we talking about Colin Beardsley, my local fishmonger?

[floyd the barber]

think its more to do with the way bellamy runs with his shoulders hunched and head down...does remind me of beardsley in that way.............other than that, well a huge difference in terms of footballing quality....

[RP]

This really should be made a sticky thread and refered to every time the 'football genius' passes comment on anything to do with football

.

 

Imo, of course.

[Tones]

Sorry Magneto. Apart from being ugly, those two have nothing in common. I dont mind Bellamy, but he isnt anyhere near the class of Beardsley.

[eth]

Bellamy was our best player for a period of time earlier in the season. I think he's leaving mostly because of off the field behaviour, and possibly vulnerability to injuries, rather than a lack of ability.

[Mondavi]

so Bellamy is more comparable to Beardsley is he ?

 

 

errr, who said that

 

bellamy is f**k all like clough or beardsley. both comparisons are ridiculous.

[Lee W]

He reminded me a lot of Beardsley (stature and playing-wise).

Oh, it's Friday afternoon isn't it.

I was making the point that comparing Beardsley to Bellamy was ridiculous. Learn to comprehend English before diving in.

How on earth is Bellamy getting a 70,000/week contract......if true

[Hassony]

How on earth is Bellamy getting a 70,000/week contract......if true

 

well lucas niell is getting that so why not bellamy

[Knox_Harrington]

How on earth is Bellamy getting a 70,000/week contract......if true

Because his agent said he's just like Peter Beardsley. Just like him.

[anfield]

LOL Torres on 90,000, but Bellamy is close at 70,000.....something is wrong with the way that valuation works

[Hassony]

next week - pennant is the new Barnes
