Benitez hints at exit for Bellamy | ||||
Benitez has added Fernando Torres to his squad and now has five strikers with Bellamy, Peter Crouch, Dirk Kuyt and fellow new signing Andriy Voronin. Asked, at the unveiling of Torres, if he was happy the player was at the club and part of his plans, Benitez said: "Are you talking about Torres?" Told Bellamy was the subject, he said: "I'm really happy with Torres here." He added: "We have some clubs asking about Bellamy and it's a possibility. "He knows my idea. He is our player at the moment and we will see what happens in the future. "It is clear we have new players here and then it could be more difficult for some of the players. "The only thing I can say is that Crouch will be staying with us. I have said to Crouch that he must fight for his position and he will stay with us." Striker Djibril Cisse is already close to the exit door as he is set to be sold to Marseille. Benitez played down a move for Manchester United left-back Gabriel Heinze and instead insisted he was trying to sign new wingers. The Reds boss believes he needs to add to the signing of Torres to help his side challenge for the Premiership title. "It is clear we need to improve to be contenders. You will ask if we can fight for the title with Torres. I think we need something more," he said. "It is clear we will improve with Fernando but if we can find other players good enough I think we will have better balance. "When you talk about the Premier League you talk about nine months and you need a big squad. "We have some names. We are especially looking for wingers."

Roberts defends put-upon Bellamy

 Liverpool striker Craig Bellamy is thought to be a Newcastle target |
Wales and Liverpool striker Bellamy has been linked with a move back to St James' Park despite leaving the Magpies two years ago after a turbulent time.
"It's a bit of a shock that he (Shearer) has come out in the papers and hammered Craig," Roberts said.
"When Craig was in the Newcastle side they were a much, much better team."
Roberts played with Bellamy, 27, both at club level with Norwich City and with the Welsh national side.
He recognises Bellamy's fiery temperament, which led to bust-ups with then Newcastle boss Graeme Souness, coach Terry McDermott and also an alleged criticism of Newcastle and England legend Shearer.
"They (Shearer and Bellamy) have had their differences in the past, incidents have happened," Roberts told BBC Sport Wales.
"Obviously Shearer still feels very bitter about that, but it's not like him to criticise somebody in public.
"It is a hammering to come out with a statement like that, that he had to go out and get drunk when he heard Newcastle could be coming back in for Craig."
New Newcastle manager Sam Allardyce is still seeking to strengthen his squad and is not scared of taking on players who have had disciplinary problems at other clubs.
The former Bolton boss paid £5.8m for Joey Barton last week despite a list of misdemeanours at Manchester City.
Bellamy has his own list of troubles, the latest an alleged fracas with Liverpool team-mate John Arne Riise in February at a training camp.
