Campbell linked to Hull

[DerekTheMole]

Ok....I do not want to ban Dai...he's too good a laugh....but can we somehow ban him/stop him from commenting about anything he knows nothing about. I realise that may reduce him to talking about the toilets at the vetch but ces la vie.......I guess he knows a bit about Swansea City too....but surely we can stop all the other crap he spouts? Alternatively, I suppose I can (reluctantly) go down to Swansea some time and give a short lesson in finance but that really would be a last resort and would have to wait till I'm going there for some other reason.

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

Just checking

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

A two times begging bucket club fan lecturing on finance !!

You couldn't make it up.

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.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer confirms Spanish striker Javi Guerra will arrive at Cardiff City this summer, saying: 'contract is watertight'

The Norwegian told WalesOnline the move for Guerra is going ahead irrespective of relegation to the Championship.

Real Valladolid striker Javi Guerra will play for Cardiff City in the Championship next season, according to Bluebirds boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.

Cardiff nearly secured Guerra's services in January after meeting his buyout clause but he eventually opted to sign a pre-contract agreement for a three-year deal that would see him link up once his Valladolid contract was up in June.

There had been some confusion over the deal given the Bluebirds' relegation but Solskjaer has told WalesOnline the deal is "watertight" and after a medical, Guerra will join up for pre-season.

Solskjaer exclusively revealed: “He’s still joining us yes. It’s a watertight contract all the papers are signed.

"He still needs to do his medical, but he will come and do that this month when the Spanish league has finished. That’s all sorted though. After that he joins us for preseason."

Guerra is 32-years-old and has 16 goals for La Liga side Valladolid this season, the latest two of which came in a 4-3 defeat to Real Betis last weekend.

Solskjaer added: “He scored a couple of goals on the weekend. He’s a very exciting player”

Experienced Guerra's previous clubs include Cadiz, Valencia and Mallorca.

Forgot about him - could he be the man?

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!

Don't rely on parachute payment sparkey that has been earmarked for tans pocket just like he has used £50m to pay off debts. His £100m loan is still firmly in his bank and that is the only reason cardiff are surviving today. Your wage bill is far to excess for a club in so much debt that has just been relegated. OLi will want to bring in new players on lower wages and for him to do that he has to off load the high earners....Its normal for a club your size. you are no Newcastle who could afford to keep their best players when they were relegated and went straight back up. Cardiff wont have such an easy ride as that and it will be difficult to get back at the first attempt. its very unlikely with a lunatic in charge...

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

Something to with being owned by Tony Fernandes (66%) and Lakshmi Mittal (33%) - Mittal was as high as 6th richest person in the world in 2011

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…….

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.
