Liverpool No2 Steve Clarke has no doubt Craig Bellamy will prove a shrewd signing.
Clarke insists Bellamy is a great addition to Kenny Dalglish's squad.
"Craig is a good lad and he gives us lots of different options in forward areas on the pitch," Clarke told Liverpoolfc.tv.
"A lot has been said about Craig but his attitude on and off the training pitch is top. He demands high standards, we all demand high standards, so I think there is a good working relationship going forward.
"I knew Craig from working with him before and so did Kevin Keen so we had good background on Craig and really the signing was a no brainer."
