Bellamy is absolutely right when he says "If you haven’t made it at 19, 20, 21, something is wrong. "
I’ve read them all now and the more I read the more I wanted him here. He just talks so differently about the game and is the complete opposite of some of the dinosaurs that are finally becoming extinct.Quote:

There's an old school honestly in Bellamy's tone with a more advanced, technical way of coaching and he also mentions the personal needs of young players and how they need to be assessed based on physical development as well. I'm sure there are other coaches who speak and think in this way, although we've never really heard that from anyone connected to City.Quote:

I especially liked what he said about the young players taking more risks, Bowen and Davies? He obviously believes that they have the ability and is encouraging them not to play within themselves or just be happy to be a part of it. That impressed me the most.
Thinking about what Malky Mackay used to call X factor players (I suppose game changers is the term used to describe them these days), it strikes me that if you think about it for this season, they are all young players apart from Keiffer Moore. We don’t have many of them, but Giles is one, Colwill can be one on his day and there are encouraging signs that Isaak Davies could be one - I think any team at Championship level needs a nucleus of around three or four such players, we’d be dangerously short of them without our youngsters.Quote:

I really like Davies, he makes his mind up quickly and tries the difficult things that other players either won't or can't do. It's got to come off for him if he stays brave and is encouraged by the coaching staff. Same with colwill, brave when he's facing opposition goal. We haven't had many like that. The closest was maybe Zohore during his purple patch.Quote:

The final section dealing with what the future holds for Craig Bellamy - he also talks about Steve Morison.

Bit of a lukewarm assessment of Morison or am I reading too much into it?Quote:

So why bring the subject up then Stan…your part of the gossip.Quote:

Stalking now are you?
If he's prepared to work under the present owner which i believe he will.. Then i'm sure he will be our manager in the next few years..Quote:
