Rich Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 St. Mirren fans seem quite pleased with his all-round performance too, given the side didn't play well on the whole apparently. His pace should give a lot of the plodders in the league a tough time, if nothing else. Not sure there's another striker as quick as him anywhere else.

sempuki Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 St Mirren must think we only have ginger players. Hope he can score a few - looked tiny the last time I saw him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Roger Kint Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 Was expecting more of a 20 yard screamer mind but was a decent hit. Hopefully he can gain plenty confidence up there and come back ready for a higher level(ie Championship or maybe even our bench) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cajun Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 St Mirren must think we only have ginger players. Hope he can score a few - looked tiny the last time I saw him. He is a proper midget but pretty stocky imo. Probably twice the width of Shane or Sammy but the same could be said for Skeletor. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

George Bailey Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 Just sell him. Get him off the books and let the lad find his level in the SPL or the Championship/League 1. Not ever gonna be good enough for us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cajun Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 Pretty sure similar was said after Carroll's loan to Preston, distinctly remember some "willing to drive him there myself" when he was linked to Stoke for £4m. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dokko Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 EPL As for Campbell making it, it's up in the air, he's less chance of making it here with Pardews attitude to youth but there's still a long way to go and anyone writing him off at this stage is a total fucking moron. Has to be said like. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest DebuchyAndTheBeast Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 For a striker of his size he'll either need amazing pace or trickery or maybe a lot of intelligence to be at the right place at the right time, which I doubt he'll ever have. Good goal btw Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good idea mate like it The fee we'd get for Campbell and wages we'd save wouldn't even come close to financing a senior signing. What's the point of selling him? As someone else said, Carroll wasn't rated by many at this point in his career. Campbell could still come good. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
54 Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 He turned 19 two days ago, I can't say I have seen him much, but from the little I have seen, he seems tidy, and he took his goal well, bit early to be writing him off imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
George Bailey Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 He isn't good enough, he wont ver make it. its virtually guaranteed. OK maybe we wont get a massive fee, we never will, cos he ain't very good. Couldnt agree more we need 1 or maybe 2 strikers. Remy, Cisse, Shola and ANother for next season..Ideally no shola but that isnt likely is it, he's here forever... Remy: we have to sign and if we don't, if we IE the manager, directors and owner can't sell NUFC to him them they should all be shot at dawn. at this stage in his carreer we are perfect for him. Lets be honest here, what is the more likely?......... Campbell plays for Spurs, Chelsea, Man Utd or ANother high ranking EPL side (EPL, English Premier League; for TT (as usual at his insulting and disaparaging best), or he ends up playing for St Mirren, Falkirk, Dunfermline, Wolves, Peterborough and eventually Hartlepool or Darlo?? I know where my money is on..and if I am wrong then so be it. I will pop down/up/across/over and buy pilko all the beer he can drink for a night..

Pilko Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 You're perfectly entitled to think he won't make it, I'm not 100% convinced that he will myself - just think it's daft binning him off at this moment right now when his development could really kick on with this loan spell (see also: Dummett).

George Bailey Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 Yep would sell Dummett too tbh. I expect campbell to do quite well up here in all honesty, cos the level is pish.. Doesn't mean I think he will vere be good enouhg for us or to play in the EPL How many of these type of 'kids' have we had that have actually gone on to get into the 1st team in recent years? whats the point? I just don't get the point in fannying about with them..so to speak..in a non Ian W way.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

KDT Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 Aye lets not bother with an academy it's not like we've produced any decent footballers in the last 30 years or so. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
George Bailey Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 Its pretty obvious after having seen a kid play a few times if he's gonna make it or not. or if there is something about him that makes him stand out... Anyone who saw Gazza, spotty Mcdonald, Watson, Elliott could see they had something. I would imagine out of 100 you may get 5 that are gonna make it. all I'm saying is why fanny about for 4/5/6 years with someone who clearly hasnt got it. How long did we piss about with Huntington? Tavernier etc.. Of course you will always get an Ian Wright who burns everyones fingers..but surely the job of the academy is to spot potential, develop it, review it and assess it..if it isnt meeting the standard get it out and get the next one or next batch in.. Im not saying they arent all gonna have careers or even some make it at the level we are supposed to be operating at. Just that those responsible should be making decisions faster, moving the dead wood out and get the fresh kids in to look at sooner. Krul was obviously good enough. I saw the lad a lot up here for Falkirk, that was a good loan , a good development progression...He clearly and visibly had that soemthing. I just dont see the point in delaying the inevitable with some of them..thats all. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KDT Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 Look at someone like Andros Townsend, the lad has been on loan about 10 times over the space of 3 or 4 seasons before making an impact with Spurs this year, just because a player isn't showing an immediate ability to be a first team regular at the age of 18 doesn't mean they aren't worth persevering with. I wouldn't say that when Campbell has had first team opportunities that he's looked totally out of place, he's not ready yet but what 18 year olds are? Just because he's not showing Wayne Rooney type ability at this age doesn't mean we should discard him as a waste of time, money and coaching resources.

Cajun Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 Burn them all I say, wait until the rest have retired then jack it all in. It has been absolutely ages since we sold someone for a British record fee (which we probably bought half the current squad with). BURN THEM ALL! All joking aside, yes most won't make it but I don't know how we can judge so early. As mentioned before a fair few had ruled out Carroll and couldn't believe we had received a £4m bid, some players just need that one moment where it all changes for them.
