Quote from DJ:" Ian, if you wish to sign me you will do the following things. First, you must drive in a limo to Hull, Second, you must go to the City centre & dance on a pigeons head under the statue of King Billy.... Hmm, give me a few minutes I'll get back to you with the rest of the stuff, but be sure to have an orange, some sticky tape & a clowns costume, not sure what I'll do with it yet though."
Bloody hell, SSN are lagging behind with our news. I tweeted them half an hour ago saying we'd signed Elmo back, and they've only just confirmed it. Tut tut. However 5 live seem to be up to date Ian Dennis ‏@Iandennisbbc One to watch....Blackburn Rovers have joined Hull City in the race to sign DJ Campbell from #QPR #bbctransfernews Hmm.
Rumours flying round that he is at blackburns training ground, could be interesting how this pans out over the next hour or so.
It looks like the Campbell deal could go down to the wire. If we do pull off a deal though, I think we can declare this transfer window a huge success.
He's likely to go to Blackburn, those venkys are ****ing idiots, probably offered 50k p/w and a 10 years contract just to make sure.
SB needs to have a plan B on this because I reckon DJC's agent will leave it as long as he can to see what offers come in which might leave us in the lurch. Ideally we do need another striker along with Gedo.
I should've factored that into the equation. Wonder if there is a Plan B. Tom Pope? Johnny Russell? John Guidetti? Louis Saha? Abdesallam Benjelloun? I remember the Stephen Quinn deal coming out of nowhere so I expect there to be something else for us before the night is out.
Obviously pure greed this one... at Blackburn he's got Jordan Rhodes, Josh King, Ruben Rochina and Nuno Gomes to compete with for a starting spot... here he'd have Simpson and Proschwitz. Blackburn matched our offer then bettered Campbell's terms, he's now going there.
ssn / Talksport just reported it. DJ @ Blackburn Rovers for the cash. Let him go to the mid-table team. In 8 days time the Loan window opens up so why rush. There are many deals still to be had and done If not today. Only the PL clubs have the pressure on for today.
