Summer transfer thread

Craig Bellamy will join Cardiff City on loan on Tuesday, BBC Wales understands.A news conference is set to be held later in the day to confirm the Championship club's capture of the Manchester City striker.Bellamy spent Monday in talks with an unnamed club and had been given permission to train with Cardiff.Manchester City must name a 25-man Premier League squad by 1 September and Welsh captain Bellamy, 31, had already been told he was being left out.However he was also being linked with a move to Tottenham, Fulham and Celtic.Bellamy said last week he would be happy to play for Cardiff as his family was based there and the club said they "would love" to sign him.The Eastlands outfit would prefer him to move to the Championship rather than a Premier League rival - and the huge wealth of his current club means they have an unprecedented amount of control over the future of a player whose colourful career has taken in eight clubs already, and who has cost a near total of £45m in transfer fees.He was linked to Tottenham, who beat Roberto Mancini's City team to the last Champions League place last season.However, Spurs manager Harry Redknapp conceded: "They wouldn't want to loan him to us. I don't think they want to loan anyone to us. "Good luck to Cardiff but it would be a waste of an outstanding player. He should stay in the Premier League for sure." Bellamy himself is so exasperated with his situation at Eastlands that he even spoke last week of quitting football altogether."This game is ruthless; I might finish, full stop," he stated.He has been a Premier League regular since joining Coventry from Norwich in 2000 - except for a five-month loan stint at Celtic during his time at Newcastle United - and has also played for Liverpool, West Ham and Blackburn Rovers.His friend, Derby County's Robbie Savage, told BBC Radio 5 live: "He's disappointed he's not in the City 25. He thinks he should be in, as I do and the majority of supporters in Britain would."He wants to play football and is a fantastic player."

lol@redknapp doesnt pick and choose the players HE wants.
redknapp doesnt know any players outside Africa and England.
That doesnt mean it's a bad thing. The raw talent from Africa has not been exposed.Diarra, Muntari to name a few Knapp has brought in. wouldnt mind those sort of players at spurs.

Being reported it's £16.5million upfront rising to £19million after appearances.Citeh also had to pay Ireland £1.5million to cover the wage drop for coming here.If you value Ireland at £10million it's costing them £31.5million to sign James Milner, plus his extra wages (probably 20k a week more than Ireland was earning?) for 4 years...

Ive changed my mind on Bellamy going CardiffSupposedly wants to go so he can try get them promoted to the Prem and boost the game in Wales and get more kids involved etc sees i as more of a personal trophy which he values then the SPL and challenging for the Bundisliga where he cant speak the language and seeing as he never stays anywhere for more then a season whats the point hes 31
