A good indication of the wisdom or otherwise of the Bellamy signing will be which player is first to be quoted in the Journal/Ronnie Gill under the headline "United Star Backs Welsh Winner". Basically if it's not in there tomorrow with Gary Speed's photo and actual quotation marks then we are in trouble. It it's 3 days and we get Wadsworth sneaking in to put the kiss of Death of him then look for another dressing room coup by October.

Here it is

Frank Pingel backs Bellamy

Ex United star Frank Pingel knows all about playing for United and he has put the danish stamp of approval on Bobby Robson's latest transfer coup. Speaking exclusively for the Journal Frank says "Craig has great pace off the ball" Pingel goes on "Craig has an enviable scoring record in the top flight, i'm jealous" The Danish star revealed "I don't know who he is, but at six million pounds, he has to be a star, right?"

Reading this thread title I thought I was going to have to call several material witnesses

Brings a whole new meaning to "knobbling witnesses" Bobby.
