.Bellamy claims playing for the manager he grew up idolising was an offer he couldn't refuse. The Welshman was the subject of interest from clubs around the country on transfer deadline day but no one could compete once the chance arose to help Kenny Dalglish roll back the years at Anfield Bellamy now begins his second stint playing with a Liver bird on his chest having scored nine goals in 42 appearances under Rafael Benitez. And he does so with a real belief that major honours are within Liverpool's grasp following a period of rebuilding overseen by Dalglish, Director of Football Damien Comolli and owners Fenway Sports Group. He told Liverpoolfc.tv: "I've grown up with Kenny Dalglish, now to be signed by him is a massive honour. "This is an exciting time. When Kenny took over, watching as a fan last season I got the buzz as well and it was great to see Liverpool end the season well. "For me, the players they've signed this summer, there has been a lot of British which takes me back to when I started watching Liverpool. It looks so familiar to me and to be part of it is such a huge honour. "To every Liverpool fan, Kenny is probably the best player ever to pull on the red shirt so that speaks for itself. He was the first player-manager to do the double and just how he conducted himself really. "I know we've had bits of success since then but the club hasn't been the same since he left, so to come back in and be a part of this with the players who are here - it's a good time. "The Liverpool team when I first signed is a lot different to the Liverpool side of the last couple of years so we need to get back into the Champions League and look to push the club on from there again." With Dirk Kuyt, Luis Suarez and Andy Carroll all vying for places, Bellamy knows getting his name on Dalglish's teamsheet every week won't be easy - but he thinks the opportunity is there to show Liverpool fans his best form. "I get this opportunity again for Liverpool fans to hopefully see a real good side of me on a playing level," the 32-year-old added. "I know what I have to do to play in this team, so this should be a good time. "I can play on either wing as well, like I did at Manchester City.

Great signing!!! Just what we needed. Someone who is capable and will work hard to get in the team and will not complain about starting on the bench. I think we needed another option up front as N'gog was just not PL standard and Bellamy gives us something different when the other options are not working
timmy5x - i wouldn't personally say n'gog wasn't PL standards he just wasn't up to Liverpool standards... i genuinely think he will do a good job at Bolton this season if he plays enough
I always feel that Rafa Benitez made a mistake of not starting Bellamy against AC Millan in that Champion league final.This time round I hope Bellamy would be more matured.
I always thought about this, why he wasn't used etc, especially the way he played against Barca, hopefully he can ectify that ghost and get us back to where we belong!
Definately wouldn't have been my first choice but he's a skillful player with more about him than what we had in the squad previously. Sounds like he worships Kenny so lets hope that his influence keeps CB from causing **** off the pitch because given the chance he can be a useful player and can play to a high standard. If he repays Kennys faith in him then he could end up being one free transfer that we aren't looking to loan out next summer
love to see him knocking on skrtels door with a golf club in the middle of the night - apparently hannibal lector has nightmares about skrtel
At first I wasn't sure abt him, but I think he can bea big player for us. Gives us another-option. What do u think to him and downing on the wings and Adam and Lucas in the middle?
