Craig Bellamy has promised the Toon Army "You ain't seen nothing yet" as he prepares for another sensational season in the Premiership.
The Welsh international was Newcastle's surprise package last season and, after picking up the PFA Young Player of the Year award, an accolade he describes as his finest moment in football, Bellamy believes he will go on to bigger and better things.
"I want to be one of the best footballers of my generation," said the 22-year-old. "I had a successful season last time around but I know I can and will get better.
"I want to improve next year and that means being more consistent. My proudest moment has got to be receiving the PFA award.
"To have my name on the trophy alongside all the great players of the past was an amazing feeling. To be recognised by your fellow pros is a great feeling and I was delighted to receive it."
Meanwhile, Newcastle have revealed that Bellamy will wear a different squad number for the new season. The Welshman swaps numbers with forgotten Argentinian Christian Bassedas. Bellamy will wear the number 10, while Bassedas will take the number 17.
New-boy Hugo Viana will wear the number 45 shirt, while youngster Adam Collin gets a first team squad number and will wear the number 33.
