Why does this man look so happy?

He's not the only one. As well as the people selling City shirts and the blokes who make and sell the letters B,E,L,A,M and Y and the numbers 3 and 9 there's all the thousands of Bluebirds fans who can't believe it: Bellamy has sogned on a season's loan for City. I haven't been this excited since we signed Fowler. Hmmm. That one ended well, didn't it? All we can hope for is he keeps fit and well and plays his normal game. Bloody hell, it's fantastic.

The question remains: How can we afford his wages though? It can only be concluded that Bellamy gained the negotiation driving seat after Man City said they wanted rid of him, but refused to let him go to Spurs, Liverpool or Fulham. Effectively it could be argued legally that they were restraining his trade and breaching his contract (Thus Bellamy's comment last week that he may consider jacking it in for good). Given that Bellamy HAS a contract with Man City, and they were telling him where he could and could not play, they could clearly only retain this level of control if they continued to pay his wages - or at least a good chunk of the rumoured £90,000 a week he is on. No way Cardiff City could afford much more than 10% of that - but we'll see what the real story is, probably - or maybe my guess is as good as anyone's.
