Fraizer would be great in Championship. He will knock in 20 over the season. Can we afford him?
Also, our goal difference last season indicates we have a defensive priority. MARSHALL!! Off the subject of this thread but balance is important.

I love Campbell, and think he did a thankless job last season, particularly whilst we were managed by Malky. That said, when we did start playing more expansive football, Campbell still couldn't hit the bloody target and that's a big reason why we dropped points against the teams around us.
For me, sell him now. He would score us goals next year, but he's shown now that he really isn't well built for Premiership football (scoring goals that is), so of say we should cash in on his increased market value now rather than wait a year, get promoted to a league we know he can't score goals in, and then flog him for a much lower price due to him having played in the Championship for a year.

I respect that is your opinion, and that you feel he can do well next season.
But his attempts on target at both levels we have played in have been poor.
I accept that his service may have been sub standard and that needs to be improved, but my concern is even when he has a clear chance on goal it often goes over the bar or past the post, as well as his first touch lets him down. Just does not have the composure of a natural finisher. Like I said earlier I hope I am proved wrong and not by FC playing for another club.

I haven't really seen Grabban play too often so I'm going from what I've read, but he sounds very similar to Campbell. Losing Campbell for 800k and signing Grabban for 3 million doesn't make sense, although if the release clause is correct we won't have much choice.
Agree about FC 1st touch though. I would like to see his stats for shots to goals at championship level. I think it would be good. The goal he scored against Man Utd shows he can finish 1 on 1, but I always thought he was too knackered from running everywhere and that when he got a chance he looked fucked.
800k I would be gutted to lose him
5 million like it was reported 1st off I would bite their hands off
