Manchester City ace Craig Bellamy gives himself two years to win a trophy at Eastlands.

Bellamy, despite his stellar form, is convinced he will eventually be pushed out for a better class of player.

He explained to the Mirror: "When Carlos Tevez came in, I watched what he did and didn't do and I try and pick up as much from him as I can. I like Tevez a lot. These last seven or eight weeks, he has been brilliant. He has been a pleasure to work with.

"This has been my best year in football and the reason for that is that I have been able to work with this standard of player.

"If there are players who are going to come to the club in January, that might even lift me again to kick on towards the end of the season.

"But there might be a stage, if we get the players to win the Premier League, when I might be out of my depths. That might be too much for me.

"Do I think I am going to be here in two or three years lifting trophies? No I don't. I don't think I will be able to sustain the level of play necessary. I think fitness will be a problem. My body has taken a toll.

"I'd love to be here long enough to win a title but I haven't thought too much about it. People thought I would be shipped out when the big signings came in in the summer but I thought of that as an opportunity on the big stage."
