Curbishley Backtracks on Craig Bellamy
August 28th, 2008 | 
Author: Alan Curbishley has decided to allow Craig Bellamy to play for Wales… just 24 hours after telling Wales to forget about their skipper playing in next week’s World Cup qualifiers.
Curbishley said Bellamy was will not be eligible due to his fitness to take John Toshack’s team into its opening match against Azerbaijan and was shocked that Toshack had named the Hammers striker in the Welsh squad.
But Curbishley backtracked on that tough talking yesterday when he hinted Wales could have Bellamy provided they were “sensible†about it.
Curbishley said there was even a chance hamstring injury victim Bellamy would be back in action for West Ham against Blackburn this weekend … a week ahead of schedule.

We are trying to nurture Craig back into the side gently , hopefully on Saturday. Toshack will want to get the most out of him next week and will risk him for the whole match. He doesn’t pay his wages and if he gets injured we are going to suffer most. If Curbs has backed down it does nothing for his credibility and respect for him from the fans will diminish even further. Stick by your guns Curbs!!
why are we being linked with a forward who flopped at birmingham and scored just one goal last season??? and larssen who my be class but is 36!!! i used to get excited about the transfer windows.
