Sir Bobby Robson was far from happy after Craig Bellamy explained how he may leave the club if Wayne Rooney was to sign.

Sir Bobby Robson said: "What Craig Bellamy should do is just honour his contract, all right? That is what he should do. At the moment, he is doing too much talking.

"He had a bit to say yesterday and he has signed a contract to play for Newcastle United Football Club. Honour the contract, Craig Bellamy, honour the contract like everybody else has to and just concentrate on playing and scoring goals for this club.

"If he is publicly saying that, then I am publicly replying to him, but I will tell him that face-to-face.

"What does he want to do? Does he want to be the manager or does he want to be the player?

"He is doing very well. That is what I am saying 'Hey Craig, just enjoy your football and score goals'. He has done well, but he can't make *threats to the club."
