Craig Bellamy is the 'signing of the season' - according to former Liverpool striker John Aldridge.
Bellamy returned to Anfield on a free transfer in the summer and netted his third goal of the campaign to set the Reds on their way to three points at Villa Park on Sunday,
After picking up the man of the match award as he helped Liverpool move to within three points of the top four, Aldo was fulsome in his praise for the Welsh international.
"Craig had his best game for Liverpool FC at Villa Park and he must be the signing of the season," said Aldridge.
"Jose Enrique has proved to be a bargain buy but to get Bellamy on a free transfer was remarkable business for Liverpool FC.
"We're talking about a player worth £15million plus!
"Forget about his age, he's as fit as a butcher's dog and is still as quick as he was when he was 21.
"We all knew it was a masterstroke by Kenny Dalglish signing Bellamy. Everyone knew he was available but Kenny used his persuasive powers to get him back to Anfield. It was a no-brainer.
"Now Bellamy has a second chance at the club he supported as a kid and you can see how much playing for Liverpool means to him.
"He was tremendous at Villa Park and I love his attitude and will to win. He gets on everyone's nerves on the pitch, including referees. He isn't afraid to have a pop at his own team-mates and I like that. It shows he cares. Point the finger at someone and then have a laugh about it afterwards - that's the way it should be."
