As if in response to yesterday's commentary on Patrick Berger heading to Villa Park, the rumor mill has Craig Bellamy (along with the forgettable Aaron Hughes) already signed, sealed, and delivered as JPA's running mate for next season. If it happens and the health problems that always seem to dog Bellamy and Berger allow them to play along side each other for more than half the season, Villa may have something. Certainly, fantasy managers have to be intrigued by the possibility of Bellamy starting up top every time he's healthy.
In other news, Sam Allerdyce seems ready to test the bounds of his ability to bring in underperforming old guys for one last hurrah at Bolton. He's done amazing things with Campo, Hierro, Candala, et al but after watching the new apple of his eye, Patrick Kluivert, this past season - it seems like a bit of a stretch. On the other hand, maybe we'll find out just how poisonous the situation is at St. James' Park.
