Bellamy in a £2 mill deal?

Wales Online reporting that a deal is close for Bellers - close to £2 mill.

If right that would be a fantastic deal (and I believe a record transfer fee for the club?)

Come on in Bellers!

Spoiler:

If true, then must be taking a big pay cut as I would assume we wouldn't be able to pay him 80,000 a week or whatever he's on.

he was exactly what we were lacking last season, (as well as a prolific goal scorer)

And two wingers, two full-backs and a box-to-box midfielder ...

Even with his dodgy knees he is still Premiership class.

Didn't think he was on that much anyway?

Didn't Chopra cost more or was that offset by his initial transfer to Sunderland?

Ah yes, forgot about him.

It wasn't being declared as a record signing if I remember - though doesn't mean it wasn't!

Bellers - NO THANKS - rather get a decent striker.

Isn't it too much for a season or two? And Liverpool didn't pay feck all for him.

Agreed - that's why I think we should look eleswhere !!

Maybe he isn't I was just guessing because he was supposed to be £90,000 at Man City and I thought he came out and said he still wants to earn roughly the same amount to help keep funding his football acadamy in Africa. I'm probably wrong though.

This has always bothered me. It's great what he's doing but if he needs that much money PER WEEK to keep it afloat then what the fudge is he gonna do with that school when he retires (only a few years off now, surely)? Doesn't seem like a sustainable business plan to me.

He needs to go have a chat with VT about business plans nqat
