Don't Get Hopes Up RE; DJ Campbell

[Ric-Roc]

The man that scored more PL goals than Drogba, Torres, Lampard, Gerrard and Rooney this season? Some of our fans seem to have ideas way above our stations.

Spot on mate. Gets goals in a weak side, not bad.

Think reality checks are in order for some folk.

Personally I'd be happy with DJ. Hard working honest fella & loves Rangers. I'm a realist & realise these are the calibre of players we are looking at.

We were told my an absolute nobody on here that he is signing Thursday!!!! Tell me people have learnt a lesson?

How is that any different from what we were told about Graham?

Exactly. When i see some of the 'we should go for....' on here i cringe.
DJ Campbell is the sort of player who'd do well for us and would graft all day for you, something Warnock likes. Personally id be pleased if he signed.

The board expect us to be realists whilst charging totally unrealistic prices to watch a realistic calibre of player.

Its not any different!! As mr casual would say," it ain't official until it's on the official"!

[Ric-Roc]

Think he'd be a cracking signing for us. Better quality Jamie Mackie. Got the work rate but a better finisher.

Couldn't agree more bruv.

Blackpool striker DJ Campbell is likely to remain in the Premier League and not join West Ham.

The London-born forward netted 13 times for the Tangerines last season as the Lancashire club followed the Hammers and dropped out of the top flight.

Reports had linked the 29-year-old with a move to east London and the Hammers have alledgedly made a bid for Campbell, but with the likes of Premier League clubs QPR and Sunderland apparently showing an interest, his future looks set to be away from Upton Park.

“I love Blackpool and we had a better season than many people expected but to go down was heartbreaking,” he told a national publication.

“I played in the Prem before with Birmingham and maybe I wasn’t ready for it then. But this time I was.

“There’s nothing like playing at Old Trafford, Anfield and Stamford Bridge. Now I want more of it. I think I’ve proved I can play at the top.”

And with a buy out clause set at £1.25million it is likely the former Leicester City striker will get his wish.

If we had signed Campbell a few seasons ago off Leicester, which there was a rumour we were contemplating it. The majority would have felt he'd do a job getting us up but not prem calibre, however can't deny his performances in the prem warrant a return. Personally think were better off going for Marcus Bent, he's local don't you know! ¬_¬

Please tell me your last sentence is a joke?

Fergie? Why would we worry about worrying Fergie? You think were guna be challenging Utd? We need to think about worrying the likes of Wigan, Wolves, Blackburn, Stoke etc and im pretty sure DJ does that. If you're expecting to sign players that will make "fergie sh!t himself" i think you'll be sorely disappointed come the start of the season and Lionel Messi isn't a QPR player pal!

[Ric-Roc]

Matty is talking a whole lotta sense.

So true & hoping people start getting real soon.
