I would sooner have a young hungry striker with the potential to develop into a top player.

In an ideal world yes. It would be very difficult to find someone who is reasonably priced and already good enough to make an impact though. Also it's good for a young player to play big minutes regularly whereas Bellamy would be ideal as an impact sub.
[/quote]I doubt if it would be that difficult to temp a young talented striker here as there would be lots opportunities for him to get game time as we are not overloaded in that department.
I also think that people are overrating Bellamy's ability to contribute at this stage and I would fear that he would be a disruptive influence in the dressing room and would just turn into next season's deadwood player on big money we are desperate to shift.
