Just thinking - what with all the injuries we've got it would be good if we had less squad depth.Originally posted by dom9If he is banged up, he can't play for us, so I shan't be complaining.
Can't see it happening tho.
The dislike for Bellamy and Pennant on these boards has got rather tedious. It's not even as though Bellamy has had a run of more than three games in a row yet. He hasn't been great but he needs time to settle. We can get the £6m back on him I recon so it is hardly a disasterous transfer anyway."The man who never alters his opinion is like standing water, and breeds reptiles of the mind."

Premiership footballer Craig Bellamy grabbed a woman by the throat after they bumped into each other at a nightclub, a court heard today.
Cardiff magistrates heard how the Wales and Liverpool striker collided with Sophie Palmer, 19, before grabbing the wrist of her friend Holly Smith, 20.
He followed the pair along the corridor of Cardiff's Number 10 nightclub and grabbed Ms Palmer by the throat.
Mr Bellamy, 27, denies two counts of common assault.
Mike Hammett, prosecuting, told the court the incident happened in the nightclub at around 0200 GMT on 5 February this year.
He said that Mr Bellamy collided with Ms Palmer as she walked in the opposite direction and "words were exchanged".
Mr Bellamy then grabbed Miss Palmer's friend, Holly Smith, by the wrist and swore at her.
'Slapped him'
Magistrates heard how moments later he followed the two women and grabbed Ms Palmer around the throat.
Mr Bellamy's friend and sometime minder Franklin Lynch is also accused of assaulting Ms Palmer and is said to have grabbed her in a bear hug as she tried to get help from nightclub bouncers. He denies a charge of common assault.
Following the incident the two women from Barry in the Vale of Glamorgan, made an official complaint to the police.
The prosecutor told the court how Ms Palmer suffered bruising to her neck and a reopening of scarring on her breast and that her friend had bruising on her wrist.
When interviewed by officers, Mr Bellamy said he had caught the eye of one of the women at which point she asked him "what he was looking at".
He claimed he replied: "If I was looking at anyone it would be those two behind you because they are far prettier than you."
Mr Bellamy then said the girl slapped him and he made a counter complaint to the police.

I'm sorry but I have to strongly disagree with you here.Originally posted by johnlySeriously though hope he gets off. No matter how poop he's been recently he still cost us £6 mil and needs to prove it. Can't do that peelin spuds and avoiding dropping soap can he?
If he is found guilty of any crime, he should serve the appropriate punishment. Simple as that. It doesn't matter if he is Craig Bellamy, Steven Gerrard or anyone else. If you f uck, you have to pay the consequences.
I recognise your comments probably tongue in cheek.Oh I don't know.
