I'm really not as excited as many on here, its not like a scored bundles of goals when he was here last time and he has been playing in the championship for the past season.
He may have experience, but he is also a bit of a mentalist.

27 Prem apperances and 7 Goals for Liverpool in his season here,
26 Games and 9 Goals for West Ham
12 Games and 4 Goals for Citeh
he is a sorta 1 goal in every 3 , and that would do, no?

I mean it will do, but I'm just not as excited as a few poster on here who seem to be made up with it etc.
I get that most likely he will be a sub and can come on etc, just a bit meh about it really..seems I'm like that with pretty much all of our signings this summer.
I disagreed with poster earlier in the summer who were saying we should be after the same players as the likes of Barca/City/Chelsea etc as I don't believe we are in their league at the moment and so players will rightly imo choose them over us and its happened with Aguero and Mata (for anyone who believed for a more than a second that either would consider us over champions league and loads more cash). I get that we need to reach 4th and build from there as I dont believe we will push for the title this season, I get its a work in progress but its still a bit meh to have Downing, Bellamy, Adam as our summer signings..even though the plug the gaps and will do a good job for the team and contribute etc.
I think posters are excited cos its means the likely return of the Bellamy diaries rather than what he can produce for us on the pitch.

This is a very shrewd move. I think it's going to be brilliant signing. We're really filling out the squad with quality.

I dunno. Personally I'm excited because it gives us another striker who's not Wash, and someone with pace and aggression, both of which we've lacked for some time.
Bellamy's not an out-and-out striker anyway - I think he's better in that wide forward in a front three role. And given that our options for RW are so thin, I think he might end up starting quite a lot of games. IF we can keep him fit.
The major concern has to be his age. Any idea how long this contract will be for?

Talk of a two year deal, Bunnyman.
Yep. Just right.

We did get José and Co-atez is on his way.
Bellamy is a good short term solution.

I was thinking about him in the left before. He played tere a fair bit last time. Did he ever play on the right?
I hope he played up front more than outwide.
Happy to have a fan back as a player.

You'll never guess who's trying to hijack the deal lads...

Has to be Harry who else leaves it to the last to sign a player just as there going to sign for someone else.
Will be a good signing covering several positions.

Two things;
I'm sure that the players character is well known to both the management and many players already, I'm not concerned.
Secondly from what I remember he was fairly good at running offside and doesn't score that many goals BUT he is a useful quick experienced player so ... On a free... No brainer

These are quotes he made last March ...ok I think they relate more to his future playing for Wales but still , that'd be my slight concern with signing him back - that he doesn't have the pace still .
But all in all if his main role is as a sub/backup then I can more than live with the 'risk' of the deal - well unless he starts getting frustrated on the bench and goes mental .
How long til we see some grainy video of Carroll and him kicking off at melwood ......probably filmed by some fat geordie on a wheelie bin !!

Yep, It's the Wheeler Dealer. Predictable stuff. Looks like Bellamy favours us anyway:
Bellamy on brink of Liverpool return
Published 23:01 25/08/11 By David Anderson
Craig Bellamy has taken a step closer to making a dramatic return to Liverpool after Manchester City agreed to let him leave for nothing.
City are prepared to negotiate a settlement with Bellamy, covering the remaining 10 months of his £95,000-a-week contract, to get him off their wage bill.
This will clear the way for the Wales striker to return to Anfield on a free transfer, four years after he was sold following a fall-out with manager Rafa Benitez.
Reds boss Kenny Dalglish is interested in signing Bellamy, but is not prepared to pay a fee for the much-travelled striker, who was dubbed the ‘Nutter with the Putter’ after allegedly hitting team-mate John Arne Riise with a golf club during a row.
A few days later, Bellamy celebrated scoring in a Champions League win over Barcelona in the Nou Camp by mimicking a golf swing.
City are prepared to waive a transfer fee for Bellamy, because boss Roberto Mancini has made it clear he wants rid of him - declaring last week that he would never play for him again.
The Liverpool manager believes Bellamy could provide ideal cover for Luis Suarez, with David Ngog set to join Bolton.
The Reds face competition from Tottenham for the player, but the 32-year-old, who has also been linked with QPR, is understood to prefer a move to Liverpool.
He has already knocked back offers from two of his other former clubs, Celtic and Cardiff, in favour of the Reds.
Liverpool, who have agreed a £7million deal with Uruguayan side Nacional for Uruguay international defender Sebastian Coates, will now wait for Bellamy to agree his pay-off with City before offering him a lucrative one-year deal, with the option of an extension.
Wales manager Gary Speed claims Liverpool would be a great move for Bellamy, who spent last season on loan at Cardiff.
“It’s only natural Craig is going to be linked with top clubs because he is a top player,” he said.
“Liverpool are a fantastic club and if that’s true and it comes off, that would be great. Hopefully by the end of the transfer window things will be sorted out.”
