ADMITTING DEFEAT FOR FRAIZER CAMPBELL

Thu Jan 17, 2013 7:09 pm

I am told that Steve Bruce has admitted defeat in the race to sign Fraizer Campbell.

Bruce has told sources up North that 'Cardiff have blown Hull out of the water!'

He is referring to the personal terms that we are offering Fraizer Campbell, I understand the transfer fee is in the region of £500k.

Apparently Bruce is turning his attention to DJ Campbell now.

Hopefully we will see the deal wrapped up tomorrow if everything is worked out.

Think DJ Campbell would be a safer bet, can we get him aswell?

Re: ADMITTING DEFEAT FOR FRAIZER CAMPBELL

500k!!!!!!!!

the media were running stories of hull ready to bid 7mill for him

i bet theyre fans are devestated :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

You had me worried with that title Carl :lol:

I'd guess at wages of £20-25k a week?

Good deal if so :ayatollah:

This is the figure that Hull are claiming we will spend on him, truthfully I thought it would be closer to £2 million but I would happily read it to be £500k if he signs.

Carl, was he doing a medical today or will that be tomorrow ?

Everything seems to be going tits up for hull at the minute. Palace have thrown their hat in the ring for dj Campbell.
Bright lights of London or hull decisions decisions :lol:

DJ Campbell scores wherever he goes, why don't we go for him, Fraizer is a VERY risky signing imo, its about time one of our gambles pay off though! :ayatollah:

Tony, I haven't asked as I am told they are still talking, so my guess would be tomorrow if all goes well with negotiations.

Ok.. Cheers Carl.

Re: ADMITTING DEFEAT FOR FRAIZER CAMPBELL

Thank goodness that could be the price that we pay. I could not understand the fees that were being mentioned before especially as he is unwanted and in the last 6 months of his contract.

Re: ADMITTING DEFEAT FOR FRAIZER CAMPBELL

500k?! Fantastic deal if it's pulled off. :D

Stoke and someone else after palace striker Murray too.... So lots of movement by looks of it?
Not to mention zaha looks like he's off to Man Utd next week for £10m plus add ons apparently ?

If Sunderland let him sign for that much and he does the job for us I will love them. :love10:

with steven fletcher out for the season do you think it will have any affect on the deal carl?

Re: ADMITTING DEFEAT FOR FRAIZER CAMPBELL

Thu Jan 17, 2013 7:33 pm

If we do sign him will this spell the end of interest in Sordell?????

Bloody hell, it's like trying to sell a house with these chains.

Need Murray to go to Stoke so Kenwynne can go to Swansea, so Graham can go to Sunderland, so Campbell can come to us. :D

United have stated that any Zaha deal would have to wait until the summer. Unless Wenger tries to sneak in there, that is.

Not wanted there, out of contract in 4 months.They will get what they can and save a bit on wages.

I bet we are paying him massive wages to get in before Hull though.

Steven Fletcher isn't out for the season, it's Darren Fletcher who's out for the season! :)

Sunderland have also said that Louis Saha can leave on a free as well!

Who is Fraizer Campbell? I can't place him?

Re: ADMITTING DEFEAT FOR FRAIZER CAMPBELL

Thu Jan 17, 2013 9:02 pm

hes going to obviously have to pass a medical before signing and we have a top class medical team at cardiff now.

theres no one more injury prone than craig bellamy and we seem to be looking after him pretty well

great signing :ayatollah: :ayatollah: :ayatollah:

Re: ADMITTING DEFEAT FOR FRAIZER CAMPBELL

Thu Jan 17, 2013 9:36 pm

Don't forget DJ is 30 now, so not much improvement will happen. Fraizer is 25 and can easily develop within the next 3 years :ayatollah: :ayatollah:
