Jim Smith 2,317 Posted August 17, 2010 If this happens its another nail in football s coffin for me. At the risk of sounding like Delia whats the point in trying to compete. We try and do things the right way and all we end up doing is putting ourselves at a disadvantage. Cardiff meanwhile p**s money up the wall, get a new stadium for basically nothing, are nearly bankrupt and then can bring in one of the top players in the country on loan just because Man City with their millions can afford not to sell him to a rival prem team. Meanwhile tinpot Blackburn Rovers (who have about as much potential as my a**e) are being taken over and have £100m to spend on players.What the f**k is the point?

Why did it have to be Bellamy and Cardiff? When he''s tearing our defence to shreds, it''s really going to stick in the throat that he''s playing for a club that have taken the p#ss out of all it''s creditors including the HMRC.Maybe it''s jealousy, but I don''t think I would feel the same if it happened to a well run club.

Yellow Wal 314 Posted August 17, 2010 Of course Jim is right!I have said many times and will continue to say it. The loan system is killing football because of the way the top clubs use it.All Man City are interested in is making sure Bellamy can''t play against them. So why not buy another six top players and then deprive the Premiership of those players by loaning them elsewhere?There are many aspects of the loan system that are wrong. The top clubs get as many of the top young players on their books from all over the world as they can to make sure they don''t miss the megastar.So now we see that not only will Manchester City''s money change things greatly in the Premiership it will also change things greatly in the Championship. What next? Patrick Viera to Doncaster? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bethnal Yellow and Green 1,557 Posted August 17, 2010 Jay Boothroyd has said Bellamy has signed for Cardiff on his Twitter account. I am massively shocked.Guess Man City didn''t want him to go to a Premier League rival. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
morty 0 Posted August 17, 2010 He will be the target of every big defender in this league, who will do everything to wind him up and put him on his arse.I fully expect him to get sent off within his first few games, and announce his retirement from football. In theory this is his chance to put himself in the shop window, in practise, he''ll screw it up, whilst driving Cardiff deeper into the financial brown stuff.

steakbearnaise 0 Posted August 17, 2010 it''s not just 6 months, he''s there until the end of the season. Will shake things up a bit.but to those saying that Man City can do this because of their wealth, that''s probably not entirely true. If you read Arsene Wenger''s criticism of the new squad restrictions (interview in the Guardian at the weekend, I think), he believes that any player left out of the 25 named in the squad could get their contract cancelled, so if Bellamy really wanted to go to Spurs or Fulham or wherever, he could have forced the issue. It just sounds like he''s quite happy to go and be a big fish in a smaller pond at Cardiff, he doesn''t think he''s got anything to prove, he can live at home and work nearby, and Man City don''t care about Cardiff, so it suited all parties in this case.

morty 0 Posted August 17, 2010 I have given this a lot of consideration, and I''m afraid if he was touted to us, at a reported 45k a week, I wouldn''t have him.He is already an unsettling influence in a team where his peers are on the same money, but putting him into a team where he is earning 3 times as much as everybody else and probably gobbing off about it, I think has problems written all over it.And I''m afraid signing him really doesn''t guarantee them winning the league.

Sell By Dave 0 Posted August 17, 2010 WHat I want to know is, where are Cardiff getting the money to pay people like Bellamy? They only just escaped a winding order a few weeks back, owe loads in tax and are massively in debt…It seems their approach to financial matters hasn''t changed - e.g gamble it all on buying a team that might take them up and worry about it later.Personally, I think this is bad for football. If they do succeed and get promoted, it sets a bad precedent. I for one hope that they fail and go bust. It would teach them a lesson. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

blahblahblah 2 Posted August 17, 2010 Somebody on here I think once said that Bellamy used to goad the Scottish Premier defenders by asking them how much they were paid, and then telling them that he paid his gardener more.

Yellow Wal 314 Posted August 17, 2010 Once more - BAN ALL LOANS - If a player isn''t in the 25 man squad then he should be a free agent to join any other club he wishes after getting a pay off for his remaining contract.Perhaps then the silly money some players are paid would stop and more clubs would be able to sign their own players and at last there would be a fairer system than the ''rich boys club'' of recent years.
