Jon atyeo is my dad Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 Great addition he scores goals! Bag him and tag him!!! As for getting him to late Kevin Phillips still doing it and he's 105 years old!

Guest Anglia Red Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 Makes a lot of senses in many ways. 0nly questions are 1. Is he fit? 2 Can we meet his wage demands? But would generally be happy with this signing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lew-T Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 Ummm I'm not too sure on this one if I'm honest. He's 30, probably wants big wages and we will only get 2 years out of him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bcfcchris2016 Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 I know he likes his Twitter as much as Jody Morris does. The twitter family will be having some more fun with him in the team. But other then that, can score goals, is he better than Baldock though ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taylor10 Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 Not sure about this signing. As someone mentioned earlier we have probably got him a year or so too late! Saying that though he is a good player and scores goals, but also has pace to stretch defenses. I would rather we spent it on a Baldock etc as it would have represented better value for money with DJ being 30 of course. But who knows? Del may have pulled off a cheap deal or perhaps even a loan?

Guest keckersred Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 He's not got 15-20 a season since his non league days.

GrahamC Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 Pretty clear that we are operating at the cheaper end of the Championship Market and although I can't say his signing would fill me with joy, but for a likely fee of around £500k, I'd guess someone who scored 13 in the Prem in 2010 is a logical acquisition.

Taylor10 Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 They paid 1.2mil a yr ago. Wonder how much theyve accepted from us. We shouldn't be looking at paying anywhere near that for him. 500k would probably be a good deal. Anymore than that and I would be a little surprised and disappointed. For me that there are gems in the lower divisions we could get for good value. I wouldn't have minded paying that sort of money for Baldock as he is young, will improve, has re sale value and is what we need. I think DJ is a good player but he has no re sale and is coming to the end of his career. I would not want to pay over the odds for him and end up having another Stewart or JCR on our hands.

Guest Rowley Birkin Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 Stunningly average striker, can't believe there's not a better striker available, doesn't say much for our scouting network.

That's the trouble on here, posters that aren't everyday posters get flak and abuse if the don't follow the popular people on here. My opinion is that DJ Campbell would be an ok signing - scores goals if he can stay fit- bit of an attitude definitely, would need to keep that in check for definate - in Baldocks league ? Never.

SJC Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 Unsure on this one. Averaged pretty much one in two during time at Blackpool which is outstanding, but you assume he'll be a top earner and anything over a 2 year contract would worry me. Would be excellent business paying a percentage of his wage on a season long loan, not so sure it's a sound permanent signing, especially with any kind of fee involved.

You Do The Dziekanowski Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 I would prefer Baldock as he has years over Campbell, but Baldock is a one-off IMO you dont find many fast young goalscorers in the championship or prem who you can get for £1m-£3m so if we cant get him Campbell is a similar type of player and has expierence on his side Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would be a top signing I reckon. Totally forgot about him coming into the game late. To me that would suggest he would have the hunger to play for as long as he can and give his all every game. That alone should stop him ending up like the likes of Hunt, Stewart, JCR etc. Intrigued to no what the fee is. Clearly no mug bagging 13 premier league goals in a struggling Blackpool side. He also seems to me to have that fire and little bit of nastiness that we have been missing. He will be a pest to championship defenders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest WeAlwaysBelieve! Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 Why are most people acting like he is a bad signing? What we are crying out for is a quick player who can score goals, right? Baldock can do that BUT he is most likely in demand by a lot of, let's say, better clubs. Campbell is only linked with us and Blackpool from what I have heard. So, even though he is 30, he's still quick, has an eye for goal and has experience yet people are still unsure? Yes, if the fee is too high then I'm with you but isn't this the type of player we want? We can't have Stead and Pitman trying to chase down everything because let's face it, they're a tad slow. So having Campbell up front would ease the burden on Stead and Pitman to score loads of goals whilst maybe Campbell actually chasing the ball and getting it.

Guest WeAlwaysBelieve! Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 Its true though. I think EVERYONE would rather us spend a little bit on Campbell than have no new striker? Obviously we have to wait for the OS to tell us this is true before we actually get our hopes up but I reckon all we need now is a commanding no-nonsense centre back, but I do reckon he should be from the prem otherwise all the latest strikers down here would tear us apart for the hundredth season running. I wouldn't be too bothered on Buszaky as if he wanted to come he would of already so if I was Del I'd go for another midfielder as Buszaky could have his heart elsewhere.
