Hammers sign Bellion

West Ham have today completed the season long loan signing of Manchester United striker David Bellion. The deal has been pushed through by Hammers boss Alan Pardew even though the player is still not back to full fitness. Bellion broke his leg towards the end of last season, just when he was gaining some momentum in the reserve side at Old Trafford, and his fitness must still be a slight concern for his new club. His agent Mike Morris confirmed the deal this morning and also said "It is not with a view to a permanent deal as he will go back to Manchester United at the end of the season.

I personally beleive this is a good signing for West Ham because they don't have to pay a penny for a decent striker. Man United boss Sir Alex Ferguson signed Bellion for a fee of £3million from Sunderland two years ago and it is fair to say he hasn't lived up to his price tag. Bellion, 22, has failed to land a first team spot at Old Trafford but hopefully this move will let him show everybody he was worth the £3million Man United spent for him.
