Manchester City have signed Craig Bellamy from West Ham for an undisclosed fee.
The striker put pen to paper on a four-and-half year deal after passing a medical and agreeing personal terms
West Ham have not divulged the exact fee for Bellamy, but it is reportedly worth around £14m.
Bellamy originally wanted to join Tottenham but once West Ham made it clear they were not going to let the striker join their London rivals, he quickly agreed to link up again with countryman Mark Hughes.
"I am delighted to be working with Craig once more," Hughes told the club's official website.
"He is an outstanding player who provides us with qualities that we are slightly lacking.
"He has blistering pace, has bags of of enthusiasm and has a superb attitude to training. He will be a great addition to the squad."

GOOD RIDDANCE MINGE, I JUST WISH WE SOLD HIM TO THE YIDS.
"He has blistering pace, has bags of of enthusiasm and has a superb attitude to training. He will be a great addition to the squad." He also like to hit people with golf clubs... GOOD RIDANCE!
he will get you goals but as soon as someone upsets him he will spit the dummie and be off again for another big signing on fee
Hughes has lost it completely, spending 19 million on Jo and now bellamy, guy dosnt deserve to be in charge...
to the city fans yiu can have all the money but you cant get the players you want, with all the money in the world so were is KAKA!!
Is Manchester in Yorkie land? No I didn't think so. Another example of Southerners calling us all as thick with Flat Caps and Whippets etc.
SO CANT ANY BETTER MANAGER ADVISE HUGHES THAT HE HAS TO STOP SHIPPING IN GOALS BY BUILDING A SOLID DEFENCE THEN GO ON FROM THERE. I CANT SEE ANY WORLD CLASS DEFENDER IN MAN CITY AT THE MOMENT.HE IS DECEIVING HIMSELF IF HE THINKS ONLY WORLD CLASS STRIKERS BUILD A TEAM WITH BIG DREAM OF BEING ONE OF THE BEST TEAMS IN EUROPE.
get rid of jo hes @#$%, and get some defenders now sparky!!
And the top four shakes with fear at this momentous move . Maybe Bellend is not the useless sicknote poor behaving spoilt @#$% everyone knows he is £14,000,000 Craig Bellend
i guess bellamy was signed because he was good at blackburn when mark hughes was there
if he is such a waste of space and cant play why are all you lot going nuts for lol typical moron football fans aint got a brain cell between you all
LMAO, BELLAMY, 14 MILLION, CRAZY!!! COME ON CITY, JUST ADMIT THE KAKA BID WAS NEVER SERIOUS. JUST IMAGINE, CITY WITH 3 UP FRONT, ROBHINO, KAKA AND.........BELLAMY. YOU ARE SUCH A BUNCH OF CRAZY HEADBANGERS. WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON UP THERE?
spknott..... couldnt have put it better myself..... i hope he bangs em in every week at COMS....i didnt want him to come to City but now he is here...City fans MUST get behind him, all the bitterness from the jealous outsiders will soon be there to see after his first goal against the Toon....
Hahahaha what else can you say!!
# 175.... bit childish!!
So many bitter Hammers on here 2nite! I bet a couple of weeks ago when Bellamy was scoring goals for you, I can bet that these same fickle liitle cockneys were singing his praises! What yer like?? Administration is imminent!!
Oh no, please say it isn't true (Aaaaaaghhhhhhh) my worst fear has come true with City signing Craig Bellamy, he's the most over-rated,over-paid,egocentric,trouble causing player their ever was (even worse than Barton)
Mark Hughes wants to get his head from up his Ars* signing players like him and given the price tag of £14 million West Ham must be laughing all the way to the bank.
We are trying to get top players like Kaka to come to the club so it's hardly a great advert telling him we've just signed Craig Bellamy (who's he asks Kaka) possibly the biggest nutter on the planet.
14m for bellamy? ha ha ha, what a joke! he's not worth 14 quid, let alone 14mil. considering we sold defoe for 15m, if bellamy is worth 14, defoe should've gone for 40mil, even if he is a disloyal p*$£k!
why have they bought bellamy,one hes a nut case 2 hes not that good.can understand trying to sign kaka but BELLAMY.man city just buying anyone.they can afford to buy the big stars so why sign bellamy
Man city are a joke.They get a few quid and think they are somebodies,but truth is they are nobodies.Absolute nobodies because when a player is offered 560,000quid a week and a percentage of 145m. and he stalls then you know your a nobody a small club with a bad manager.
But at least he went for a more realistic target,Craig Bellamy.
Man City are a joke.(i probably infidel.)
