REDS COMPLETE £6 MILLION SIGNING
Liverpool have completed the signing of Craig Bellamy from Blackburn for £6 million. The striker broke off from his honeymoon to sign on the dotted line at Anfield. The 'relatively' low price was due to a clause in the player's contract allowing him to discuss terms with a Champions League club before 30th June 2006. Bellamy said: "Being a Liverpool supporter myself, at the start of every season it's the league title that you're looking to win. Being top of this league is something that Liverpool grew used to in the 70s and 80s, but it hasn't happened for a while, and that has to change." He added: "Even from the outside looking in, you could tell that things were heading in the right direction under Mr Benitez, and if we can improve on what we did last year and move two steps on, hopefully we can win the title." The Cardiff-born player held talks and underwent a medical on Wednesday after breaking his holiday in Greece with his new wife and two sons to fly to Merseyside, and the deal was concluded on Thursday afternoon. Bellamy said: "Just to get the transfer completed today (Thursday) was an unbelievable moment for me. "I just got married last month and that was obviously one of the highlights of my life, but this is on par with that - I know the missus might not be happy with me saying that, but it's true! "It's a dream come true to sign for the club I supported as a boy and to actually play for Liverpool will be an enormous honour. I'm a very proud person at the moment."
