The signs are not good are they?

If he can't make a toss of impact against the teams we have just been playing, then what the hell will he be like against Stam , Desailly and friends?

Pet lips, tantrums, lightweight, shot shy...and the season hasn't really started...

Jury still out - give him a bit more time before making a judgement. In his defence, I think we are playing a lot more positively with Bellamy in the side - less of the 3 steps sideways 1 step forward stuff that we've seen for the past few years.

oh come on Swifty... tell us how you really feel about the bloke!!! Certainly Carl or Alan would have scored a bagful in comparison!!! Hell having just come into a new side, I'd hate to see what you'll ramble on about Robert if he doesn't shine in his first couple of matches.

If you're looking for a scapegoat for last nights AWAY DRAW, blame Bobby, he's the one that set the side out. I think Bellamy's play had a lot to do with the amount of opportunities he had, which weren't too fruitful by the sounds of it

One thing that bugs me to all hell about fans, thay have extremely short memories. Bellamy has played well in the previous 4 matches for us. Sure he may not score a ton, but then again, how many did YKD score for us in his first few matches?

Get over it Swifty, he's gonna be with us, and YOU need to support him.

Is that the sound of knives sharpening ? Shola got a bollocking for getting shirty with the ref in the last round but he isn't Bellamy so no need to be alarmed.

I have faith in Bellamy, i'm sure he will only get better. The 6,5 million pricetag can be discussed though....

We don't even know what his price tag was: we haven't announced it officially. I'm a tad pissed slagging the bloke's geeting. He was poor in the Munich home leg but has otherwise been ok. Give him a break!

Sorry - much of that was written in Hadaglassofwineatlunchtimeish: I meant, a tad pissed off at the slagging off the bloke's getting.

Surely he has got to be 10 times better than me,err Kevin Phillips!

True, sk. He is 10 times better than Phillips, but we want him to be better than Shearer, so he still has a way to go!
