I didn't think that spite and bitterness were part of your character OLM ! Strange how the thread becomes more and more bitter and twisted as it goes on ! All the 'big boys' will be after him in the summer.
FC performance last night is hard to judge as Norwich and there defence were shocking all night long. But FC was running on emotion and energy after such a long lay off. I will judge him by the end of the season. Think he will drop as the games go along, time will tell. His goal last sunday came from a bad back pass and should never have happened and last night FC was given far to much room and time to get his shot off. Against better teams and defenders it will be interesting. My problem with FC are his ethics. No issues with him going after the best deal possible - anyone would - just his stringing us along attitude. All he had to do was say thanks but no thanks. Thats where the bitterness towards him comes from.
FC's performance last night wasn't hard to judge at all, he scored one, created one(both were sublime) and he won MotM, he was the best player on the pitch.
it was not that hard to do. Norwich were pants. Lets see how good he is against better teams and defences eh ?
You can only play against the opposition that is put in front of you! I dont see your argument, nobody is saying he is a striker that should be in a top 4 team
I think the difference is people assumed Campbell had an affinity with us and would come here out of loyalty to the club, Phil Brown and the fans. When he didn't come people saw it as an act of betrayal.
i never said it was not a good finish. it was. but barry robson, hang your head in shame. what is it with M'Boro and back passes at the moment and why dont they do it when playing Hull City ? lol
ok let me put it another way then. FC has come back from a long term period of injury-absense. He is busting a gut to get back to doing what he loves doing. The teams he has played against so far have not been of the best quality and have allowed him the time, space and opportunity to score 2 goals. Will it last and Will teams allow it to ? Alot like our Cammy i expect it to stop and even MON in the press today has strayed onto the side of caution with him. Yes he has done well all things considered, but to many people are bigging up what he has done. MON wont allow that and thats a good thing. Expect FC to dip in goals scored now. Other teams will have his number.
I just womnder what SAF thinks when he sees players like FC doing well, and whether he feels he made a mistake selling?
I think he did make a mistake selling Campbell, if he can stay free of injury he can be a top player. The only thing missing when he was with us was his build but I imagine with him being out for so long a big part of his rehab will have involved bulking up a bit and improving his strength.
Is doing well for Sunderland good enough for Man Utd ? Both SAF and HARRY did not think FC was good enough for there clubs in the end. That to me suggests he is not.
I just have a problem with people lieing to me, I don't see why people feel the need when you're talking about perfectly understandable situations. Not so much with footballers, but with people directly involved with me it makes me wonder if there's other things they're lieing about that aren't so understandable. Campbell to Spurs - no problem 1) He didn't have the choice 2) I'd have joined Spurs ahead of us as well. As a young player he didn't need the pressure he'd have had on him being our main striker. Although Spurs are a bigger club there were other strikers ahead of him who'd take the pressure off, and it'd be better for him developing to be training with those better strikers. 3) There was no stream of interviews from him saying he was joining us. Campbell to Sunderland - problem 1) I'd have taken the same decision - as with Spurs but 2) My interviews would have been on the basis of "I like the idea of going back to Hull, but I need some time to think about it. I'm at the biggest club in the world right now and I need to be sure that if I leave here it's the right move for my career and not my heart." Now you can point to his age to excuse him, but he was still an adult, and his dad isn't as young as him (funnily enough) and he was his agent/adviser and was saying the same things. You could say I'm looking at it as someone a fair bit older than him, but there was the same thing with Darlo taking Brightwell, Harper, and Marcelle. Brightwell and Harper I had no problem with, Marcelle I did because he'd done the interview saying he'd made his money when he was in the PL, he was just playing for fun now so the not getting paid straight away didn't matter to him, and then with the ink barely dry he clears off to the first club offering to pay him. Why do that interview when you know you're lieing? Peter Taylor with Charlton, no problem. Comes back saying he's pulled out because he's still got a job to do here, next week he's the Palace manager, problem. Why not just say he'd changed his mind about the Charlton job saying it wasn't for him? Why the need to come out with the crap about not wanting to leave us? It was obvious Dowie was getting that job and he wanted the Palace one.
A team of the best footballers in the world wouldn't be good enough for 'ARRY. Of course he let FC go, like he did with Darren Bent, he's just a lucky t----r who has made a career out of bankrupting football clubs and trousering bungs ! A glorified, bent, barrow boy ! Still, he'll have to be good to manage Spurs from an open prison! YOU REAP AS YOU SOW ! !
