Robson warns Bellamy
Newcastle striker Craig Bellamy
Newcastle boss Sir Bobby Robson has told Craig Bellamy to stop moaning.

The Wales international said that he would review his position at the club if Magpies target Wayne Rooney arrived at St James' Park.

"What Craig Bellamy should do is just honour his contract. That is what he should do," said Robson. "At the moment, he is doing too much talking.

"What does he want to do? Does he want to be the manager or does he want to be the player?"

Robson continued: "He had a bit to say on Tuesday and he has signed a contract to play for Newcastle United Football Club.

"Honour the contract, Craig Bellamy, honour the contract like everybody else has to and just concentrate on playing and scoring goals for this club.

If Wayne Rooney comes, I will have to review my position
Craig Bellamy

"If he is publicly saying that, then I am publicly replying to him, but I will tell him that face-to-face.

"He is doing very well. That is what I am saying 'Hey Craig, just enjoy your football and score goals'. He has done well, but he can't make threats to the club."

Newcastle led 2-0 against Norwich with Bellamy scoring the opener but the game finished in a 2-2 draw - and the Magpies were booed from the pitch after the match.

And a frustrated Bellamy said: "I love playing for Newcastle and I love everything about the club.

"But if Wayne Rooney comes, I will have to review my position because I am not sitting on the bench anywhere.

"I like Wayne Rooney a lot because he is a great player.

"He is my sort of player and it would be great for the club, but no good for Craig Bellamy.

"If he does come, I will have to consider my position."
