Apologies that it's another Campbell thread but it must be quite close now considering Matthew Killgallon has wished him well on Instagram.

To be fair to Campbell he's only had 265 mins of football this season with most of those coming from substitute appearances, he's been played out of position with Martin O'Neil utilising him in a right wing role and that isn't his natural game. I'm hoping he partners Helguson upfront, what an awesome pairing that would be !

where u planning of playing bellamy then, if helgs and campbell up front? cus noone and smith will be the wingers

Rotating between HH, Campbell and Mason up front will be excellent. I'd rather put Bellers behind the strikers or on the wind.

I would put Noone on the Left wing and put Bellamy on the Right wing, this way we have some pace on the wings and play won't get slowed down on the counter if you can pass it into space on the flanks for wingers to run onto or beat their man.

Does he mention that he's coming to us because there are rumours of Hull signing him also. Before we all get too carried away!

And leave out Conway when he's been probably been our most consistent player recently with Bellers? It's Campbell and Bellamy up top all day long for me. Defences are gonna hate the amount of pace we'd have upfront and down the wings. We'd be lethal on a counter attack that's for sure

Conway has been average at best last two games. We were crying out for a better outlet against Ipswich! :ayatollah:

Bar Bellamy, nobody was good v Ipswich. He's been superb recently and deserves to stay in.

I disagree sorry, Conway is too slow and often slows up play when Cardiff look to break quickly because he has no pace. He's a solid worker though and helps out his full back but doesnt offer enough going forward imo.

Brian Swanson says it's down to Graham joining them. If Graham doesn't join, we don't get Campbell

Bryan Swanson is as useful as that other prick Andy 5 phones! David Craig will know what's going on! Where's them shiny veneered teeth when you need them?

The Hull rumours were snubbed by Steve Bruce and he spoke about he only wants to bring a winger in.. The fans are making the rumours up there is no real intrest.

Just spoken to a friend who is at the vale - Sky and BBC present but players trained at CCS, so something is happening down there.
