Bellamy: We have a top-quality squad

As The Sun reported, Craig Bellamy insists his partnership with Robinho can help Manchester City challenge the Big Four. The Welsh hitman claims it was the lure of playing alongside players of Robinho’s class that tempted him to Eastlands.

And he believes the 1-1 draw at Liverpool, thanks to his third goal since his move, was proof City are on the way up. He said: “I came here to raise my expectations and no one can tell me we have not got a top-quality squad.”
