Roll on 14th December Title: Re: Update on John campbell Post by: woolster on Tuesday, November 16, 2010, 13:04:33 thought the man u thing was spooky
Title: Re: Update on John campbell Post by: suttonred on Tuesday, November 16, 2010, 13:48:52 I'm surprised we haven't arranged a friendly reserve match if he's being watched by a few other clubs. Hype? Or are we being a bit slow as usual?
Title: Re: Update on John campbell Post by: pauld on Tuesday, November 16, 2010, 13:56:42 Can't help but think that this lad is being pushed very aggressively by his agent/manager/whatever on forums and people seem to be taking at face value the agent/manager/whatever's assertions that he's absolutely shit hot. Which strikes me as little better than "Looks great on YouTube". If he's that good, surely it will be apparent to our management/coaching staff, why the need to try and create groundswell among fans? More than a whiff of astroturfing, methinks
PS Hope I'm wrong and he's genuinely the dog's whatnots, signs for us and becomes the new Charlie Austin Title: Re: Update on John campbell Post by: Peter Venkman on Tuesday, November 16, 2010, 14:42:06 Can't help but think that this lad is being pushed very aggressively by his agent/manager/whatever on forums and people seem to be taking at face value the agent/manager/whatever's assertions that he's absolutely shit hot.

More than a whiff of astroturfing, methinks I know it was only the stiffs but a hat-trick is a hat-trick and he seems to have taken the step up in his stride, at least to reserves level. I look forward to eating my words on his debut :)PS Hope I'm wrong and he's genuinely the dog's whatnots, signs for us and becomes the new Charlie Austin Title: Re: Update on John campbell Post by: Langers on Tuesday, December 14, 2010, 16:40:23 He's got to be worth a punt. Its a fairly big step up for him, even playing for the reserves.
Title: Re: Update on John campbell Post by: Power to people on Wednesday, December 15, 2010, 09:04:18 Surely hei s worth that risk give him until the end of the season with a guarntee of a new dela if he plays x 1st team games and see how he develops, a hat trick in 36 mins says he has something about him and knows where the net is.
Title: Re: Update on John campbell Post by: Barry Scott on Wednesday, December 15, 2010, 09:15:13 We also haven't had a pacey striker for a while and he's (in his own words) as quick as O'Brien over 40 yards.

As long as his hamstrings aren't as fucking quick to go as AOB then it will be a good assetTitle: Re: Update on John campbell Post by: ScillyRed on Wednesday, December 15, 2010, 09:32:54 Get him in quick - sell him off quick - good business innit :sherlock:
Title: Re: Update on John campbell Post by: Peter Venkman on Wednesday, December 15, 2010, 09:48:05 As long as his hamstrings aren't as fucking quick to go as AOB then it will be a good asset Always a risk with very pacey players unfortunately.Title: Re: Update on John campbell Post by: Samdy Gray on Wednesday, December 15, 2010, 09:56:30 Always a risk with very pacey players unfortunately. If, like Alan O'Brien, your hamstrings are made of cheese. Title: Re: Update on John campbell Post by: DMR on Wednesday, December 15, 2010, 11:47:21 Surely as foods go, cheese is quite resilient?
Title: Re: Update on John campbell Post by: Benzel on Wednesday, December 15, 2010, 11:50:20 Not if it's got super hot and melted due to lots of sprinting.
Title: Re: Update on John campbell Post by: thedarkprince on Wednesday, December 15, 2010, 16:57:41 Or if it's that cheese with holes in it...
Title: Re: Update on John campbell Post by: Reg Smeeton on Wednesday, December 15, 2010, 17:01:53 Or if it's that cheese with holes in it... Sprinz would be the best Swiss cheese for hamstrings... |
