Shearer can't believe Newcastle want Bellamy

Shearer admits he was stunned to discover new Magpies boss Sam Allardyce might be interested.

"Has no-one learnt their lesson about signing Craig Bellamy?" Shearer said.

"If only (Liverpool boss) Rafa Benitez had rung me I would have told him exactly what he was like. I hope there isn't anything in (the Newcastle reports).

"I was having a few days away in France with (former Newcastle team-mates) Gary Speed and Steve Harper and the wives and I picked up the newspaper. I was having a fantastic day.

"But when I read Bellamy for Newcastle I thought I would definitely have to have another drink. I had several."
