The Sunday Mirror is suggesting that Cardiff City are willing to pay Manchester City £3 million for Craig Bellamy and would offer the Welsh striker a two year contract at £30,000 a week. That would make the highest paid player at the club, but it would be a massive reduction in his reported £90,000 a week he his get at Manchester City. It could be the price he will have to pay for the family he was enjoying last season. If not, he will be moving not from Manchester anyway.
A host of clubs are interested in signing him, but I will mean live away from his Cardiff based family. Everton up to Celtic and some in-between are rumoured to be interested in signing him and will probably offer move in wages.
The end is nigh, wait a minute there is no little Welsh flag on the new Cardiff City shirt is the world coming to an end. In today's Sunday Mirror, the back page headline screams out 'Dragon Slayer' over the dropping of the symbol with a nice picture of TG and a nice front shot of the new shirt with the word Malaysia blazed across it. The Mirror is using the dropping of the flag to show the club full under the control of the Malaysian owners and have some fans up in arms over the whole issue. Do you they think the players sit in the dressing room looking at the flag shout in 'for Wales'. There is very little Welshness in the sqaud anyway. One fans said,
"I think it's sad. We're the capital city of Wales and we should have a Welsh identity. I don't mind them having Malaysia on the shirt - if it helps to bring in extra revenue, that would be great. But don't try to throw away our Welshness"
I have a problem with unnamed Cardiff City fan how will losing a tiny Welsh flag be throwing away our Welshness? The whole flag thing come in after his Welshness Sam Hammam was going through is Cardiff City = Wales which was a joke and slapped that awful St David's badge on the shirt. Most Cardiff City fans and fans from other clubs will in the most put their club before country, I do.
