Spurs fans tell Craig Bellamy - 'We don't want you'

Tottenham fans have bombarded club websites in mass protests against the signing of Craig Bellamy.

And the signs are that the 29-year-old striker, who stormed out of West Ham's training ground on Friday, will move to Manchester City although their latest £14m bid was turned down last night.

Bellamy was refused permission to speak to Spurs about a move to White Hart Lane on Friday.

Speculation about his potential recruitment sent angry Spurs fans into meltdown.

They deluged the club and independent websites with demands that the Wales striker must not be signed, as his abrasive approach has caused problems at previous clubs.

Even though manager Harry Redknapp was desperate to sign the striker, Spurs fans feared he would be a negative influence at their club.

The Hammers' won't be forced to sell Bellamy. He has been named in the West Ham squad for today's game against Fulham. If he fails to turn up he will be handed a two week fine.

Spurs are now favourites to land in-demand midfielder Wilson Palacios from Wigan.
