To start of I'd say that I think Campbell is a very good signing for you. I believe he is more than capable of scoring at Championship level and I think he is very cheap at £600k. If you are promoted to the Premier League I feel Campbell could score enough goals for a team that it is their first season and looking to stay up.
If any of you have had a look on any Sunderland forums you may have heard some negative things about Campbell and that he is rubbish etc. None of this is true. In my opinion Campbell has an excellent attitude and will always give 100% for the team.
The main concern you might have with the signing was the serious injury that kept him out for 15 months and that he hasn't performed well in terms of goals this season. I'm not sure if his injury is currently keeping him back a little but hopefully he can stay injury free. This season I feel Campbell isn't rated by O'Neill and doesn't fit into our system. In my opinion FC would be at his best when playing with another striker (I'm not sure what system you're using this season). And if Campbell scoring 1 in 15 this season concerns you then dont't let it as pretty much all of those appearences have been 5/10minute cameo appearences on the right wing which obviously isn't his strongest position.
Overall I do believe you have made a good signing.
Good luck for the rest of the season.

You might see me on here next year if we're both in the same division
And also good luck to Campbell, hope he does well for you and good luck getting to the Premier League. I don't want to jinx anything but I do believe you will be a Premier League team next season.
