I was at the match, stag do in Edinburgh...  Campbell was terrific.  His pace is electric.  I think right sided forward (like Ben Arfa) will be his role.  Campbell obviously isn't like Ben Arfa though (except stupidly quick with the ball) and more like Bellamy when he plays wide.

 

Confident he will be a decent pro, at least Championship level.  Whether that will be a career like Bellamy or like Darren Huckerby remains to be seen.

Went to the game yesterday. Wanted to see if he can change my opinion.

 

He played well. Fair play to the lad, seems to be playing with the right attitude and commitment. Hard to judge longer term in this standard though.

Still if he keeps this up it can only be good for us, even if it is to increase any fee.

Just watched the whole game today, he seemed to enjoy a free role from behind Thompson along with McGowan on the other side (more of a 4-3-2-1 than 4-3-3). Didn't stick to the touchline by any means, drifted about plenty and looked to get into the box when he could as well. Most impressed I've been by him so far, but the whole team played far better in that new shape.

 

Newton did tremendously for the second goal as well, lovely ball up the flank. He looked a different player moved inside and was a good driving force for them on the counter - has been playing right of midfield in a 4-4-2 lately.
