Return Bellamy - in one piece!



After seeing Bellamy enjoying himself and looking really good in his 20 minutes against Fulham, hopes were rising in this part of the West Ham community.
What an addition he would be if he could be a regular starter.

The way he "corrected" Cole (for not leaving the ball to Etherington and running into the box) told us something about his position in the team. Carlton looked like a dog just yelled at by his master. The puppy wasn't even considering yapping back!

Now it's time for Wales to give him yet a premature 180 minutes of competitive football.
We've had this scenario before and I don't like it.

It's not that I don't like players that want to do their best for their country, but i do think the club should have a slightly more restrictive policy in these matters.
After being sidelined for this long most players need to be eased back into the game.
Craig had such an injury laced last campaign, only playing 9 full games for us, meaning his body just isn't used to the tough schedule of an international playing in the premiership.

This is an injury layoff in the making!
