Ronaldo Posted July 29, 2010 Share Posted July 29, 2010 I'd worry about Sol in the last 15 minutes of games, it's only natural that he'll slow down considerably. The Wigan and Stoke (cup) games from last season are a good example of this. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

toontownman Posted July 30, 2010 Share Posted July 30, 2010 Lets be fair, even if it was true its hardly a bid deal. The club has a blueprint for they type of players we bring in, Campbell isnt just borderline he is way off the chart so I would see it as a good sign the board level actually cares. Whilst Hughton should have complete control, the powers that be certainly has the right to check the with the manager to see if he is sure. I'd question whether bringing Campbell in rather than a young up and coming talent would be the right decision. Hughton however knows Campbell very well, knows what he brings to the table etc.. Nothing article trying to stir up a storm in a tea cup. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cronky Posted July 30, 2010 Share Posted July 30, 2010 I think the policy is against signing older players for large fees, where they'd have no re-sale value at the end of their contracts and the fee couldn't be recouped. As Campbell is on a free, it doesn't really apply. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thespence Posted August 1, 2010 Share Posted August 1, 2010 Campbell has deliberately now signed for two clubs late to miss large portions of the slog-a-thon that is pre-season, he was chuckling about this when he was on Goals On Sunday. Of course the press are going to write about NUFCs major signing of the summer being out shape. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
