Robbie Savage Unhappy with Bellamy Sale

Savage believes Blackburn Rovers Football Club will find it almost impossible to replace Craig Bellamy.

The Welsh international joined Liverpool in a £6 mill transfer last week, and Savage believes manager Mark Hughes has a hell of a job on his hands to find a replacement.

"Losing Craig is a massive blow," said the midfielder. "The bottom line is you can't really replace a player like Craig Bellamy, even for £6 million.
"We need to try to find someone with similar pace but that's going to be difficult. There aren't many players like Craig out there. We need to bring in three new strikers as soon as possible.
"The boss will be working as hard as he can to make that happen. But the good thing is that the gaffer has done brilliantly in the transfer market in the past and I'm sure he will do the same again."
