ha, but serious Bellamy has gotten over his past problems and was superb at Blackburn last season got into Liverpool and has continued and was made Wales captain. Lets say Owen returns, if Bellamy were English we could have had Owen/Rooney/Bellamy/Crouch has our strikers, looks good to me.

Ummm...why? The bloke is a thug. He swans about thinking it's alright to headbutt opponents and pick fights with regular people in Hull city centre. When I was at Saints getting my Grand Final ticket on Tuesday I also heard a rumour that he's a wifebeater. He's scum. Fine player, but so was Bobby Goulding, and he's scum too.

Eyes not spreadsheets
My point is you rate the English football team, in particular a player who isn't in the team and hasn't been for years.

As for Bellamy, how exactly would he make the England team when Rooney's around?
