DJ Cambell signs allegedly

[Minty85]

He will be a very useful player up front alongside Jay.

I'd be very suprised if we played 2 up front

[stainrod10]

Who do you think we should be signing then?

"should" - given our owners wealth and "could" given their current thinking are clearly 2 very different things. Campbell is probably about the best we can we hope for but not sure that's sufficient to wet yourself about.

[James1979]

Name a player then.
The transfer fee isn't the problem, it's the wages. I don't think we should be offering more than 25k a week which is alledgedly our policy. We can't go offering people 50k a week or more, it's not sustainable. What do we do if the people who fund these wages then decide to leave? Look at Man City, what if their owner gets bored this year and decides to leave? Who's going to pay the wages for those players?

[stainrod10]

Still not excited about Campbell regardless of Man city's owners getting bored or not.

[James1979]

he's the best we can get irrespective of our owners. We're qpr not real madrid. We should be getting decent strikers and hoping they turn into world class ones....and then sell them for a profit. THat's what we do

Confused. Thought we had a bid accepted weeks ago and that DJ has been in Italy for two or three days so must already have discussed personal terms. And if he is there so long, presumably he is training with the team, otherwise how is he going to be fit for the season? Or is he now back in sunny Blackpool?

Reckon we are just waiting on a medical.

the Blackpool wesbite mentions medical, which always makes you think we are nearing the finishing line...

and stainrod10 cheer up ffs - you are giving stainrods a bad name....

[stainrod10]

perfectly happy - just not overly excited about Campbell.

Sorry if that view differs from yours.

think he might have been talking about your general demeanour - not about DJ specifically - Aguero, using a current example, could sign and you'd be underwhelmed!

[stainrod10]

Opinions, opinions - just won't do will it.
