Craig Bellamy has Pledged His Future to Newcastle United, after recent reports linked him with a Summer move to Manchester United. Bellamy's contract runs out in FOUR years time, keeping him at St James' Park until at least 2007. If you were scared by the thought that Craig Bellamy would soon be leaving Newcastle, then hopefully we can calm you down a bit.. or maybe alot!

Craig Bellamy has pledged his future to Newcastle!

After recent reports linked the Welsh Whippet to Manchester United, Bellamy told the Daily Mirror: "I have a four-year contract at Newcastle taking me to 2007. I really enjoy it here.

"It is a wonderful stage and I am playing for an exceptional club with the best fans. I really am proud to be part of it and being here helps my performances. I feed off the stage and the atmosphere.

"I am playing for a top manager, a legend in the game, and alongside Alan Shearer up front, another legend and great bloke. It is perfect.

"Being part of the journey to the top at Newcastle and making it happen is the big thing for me. I know it will take a while, but I want to be here when that first trophy happens, because that will be unbelievable."

This is ofcourse good news for many Newcastle fans. However, if we want to finish in the top 5 in the Fair Play Award League, we best take a careful look at our bad boys!

Bellamy, Woodgate, Bowyer, Bernard, Any more?
