    So... you're saying to ban him from all football forums?

    Just checking <ok>

    EDIT: If I read on I'd see you had this covered <whistle>

    My view of observing him is that, if fit, he would do well in the Championship. However I guess the odds are Campbell will go to somewhere like Hull to sit on a PL bench as opposed to a full season in the Championship.

    There is a £800k buy out clause in his contract.

    As for Grabban from Jay's link, I've seen him a few times at Bournemouth where he is highly rated and scored well in the Championship this season - 22 is pretty good and 33 in 83 games overall.

    He is very quick and plays off the shoulder of the last defender. His first touch is not always good but his pace helps him get over that at Champ level. They also have Jan Kermogant (he of Marshall penalty save v. Leicester fame) who scored 9 in 16 games for the Cherries. He is 32 and Grabban is 26 so Grabban could be worth a shout. Probably cost nearer £2m now though after a good second half to the season and with Bournemouth's finances under Russian control they are in a much healthier financial position.

    I remember a debate on the old 606 site called Cherrie Aid. Complete turn around for them, financially and fair play to them for being able to afford to put a price tag on their players, nowadays!

    I'm sorry but QPR have a higher wage bill than borussia dortmund with a smaller stadium so how can't we afford the wage budget

    QPR aren't a financially viable club, but the point is valid. They can keep any players their owners want. We are exactly the same, if Tan wants a quick return he'll need to fund it and he'll certainly know that.

    unless there's a clause there is no way campbell will be going for £800k. despite the stick he's received off some on this board he will score 20 goals next season if fit, and works very hard for the team, he is definitely one i would prioritise keeping…….<ok>

    I've been told there is an £800k buyout clause.

    I've also been told Bellers wants one more season to enable him to finish on a high not a low.

    I'd be delighted if that were true.

    Used to his present strengths and not his historic ones, Ole could already possess the ace in the hole at the club for the coming Championship season.
