Delayed - people can bubble wrap it all they want and say he's away on holiday this or that.
the bottom line is if he wanted the move that bad he would of snapped up the offer made it happen.

I think we are a second or 3rd choice and only in unlikely circumstances will he come here - still a chance of signing him but I reckon its around a 30-35% chance

Ah right. Hopefully we will get him as 3 mil seems decent for a 20+ goal striker when you consider Blackburn paid 8-9 for Rhodes.

Rather not be messed around by players again, remember Tom Ince? It'd be a shame not to see him play for us next season because he looks like the striker we need. However he has only played one full season of Championship football, yes his record was excellent, but prior to last season he'd only scored around 40 goals in 200 or so games.

I've been a believer of to never sign a player after having one season of success. So if he wants to mess us about or hold us up, I say pull out and look elsewhere.

Maybe talks with Campbell are going positively and the club think Campbell, Guerra, Mason, Maynard, Jones and Velikonja will be enough going into next season. Especially if Ole is only looking to have one striker next season.

Jones and velikonja will be gone no doubt about that. That will leave us with 4 main strikers Campbell, guerra, Maynard and Grabban with mason as a back up. Wouldn't be surprised is Campbell moves on mind as his release clause is so low.

It's May for god sake, he is on Holidays and wants time away, Pre Season doesn't start until July and only on July 1st he would officially hook up with the squad.

Wait for him to come back, speak to Bournemouth and if it's the waiting game no doubt Ole will move on.

Why should someone just travel back to do a transfer, almost like saying you get a job offer when your abroad and you should travel back to do the interview, pathetic.
