    According to Sky sports news. Bruce is pondering a bid for the Blackpool striker who has a £1m release clause in his contract. I hope we get him along with another striker or two. The lad scored 13 league goals and 1mill is an absolute snip. Could be another Bramblesque deal.

    I think he is a quality player, I went to our friendly with Leicester pre season and Campbell looked really good for them, I thought at the time he would do well in the premier league and 13 goals for Blackpool shows I was right.

    He would be good back up for Gyan and a good player to come on and change a game.

    I've hated the lad since he shot to fame for Brentford when they knocked us out the cup years back. Then the next season, he got a move to a championship team (maybe Leicester) and did the same in the next year.

    However, when he came to the PL I thought maybe he's worked hard enough for a chance, and he's taken it 11 goals is a decent return for a player who's first season it was in the PL. Should we get him? For 1m? Yes. More? No, not really.

    We wouldn't have to pay more. That's why it's a clause. 1M.

    Not if we get into a bidding war. There's other teams as well as us looking at him. :headbang:

    Why would any club pay more than the clause? Any bidding war would be on DJ's wages.

    Definitely worth signing. I love his movement and he has a bit of pace about him, so for £1m he's a bargain.

    Everton keen on him as well. Had my obnoxious scouser mate over last night to collect his $50. Bet we'd finish higher up the table. He swears Campbell going to Everton, but couldn't really confirm anything more than a rumor. Moyes needs help up front for sure. Think they'll be a lot of interest at 1M.
