" MALKY MADE AN APPROACH FOR PREMIER LEAGUE STRIKER "

Sun Nov 11, 2012 12:24 pm

Malky Mackay made an approach recently for out of favour Sunderland striker Frazier Campbell, he had permission to speak to the player but Campbell did not want to step down a division.

Malky and his staff are looking to bring in a striker and a defender before the loan window shuts two weeks today.

I am also aware that there will are two players lined up for for January and if both cannot be signed permanent then they will loans until the end of the season.

Yes he is and the point should be made that he's trying to get better than we've already got and not some of the crap names mentioned on here.

Frazier Campbell would have been an excellent addition to our squad.

I hope that the striker he is looking to bring in is from the same level of quality. :ayatollah:

He could have kept Rudy company on the physios bench.

Maybe a short sighted view by Campbell if he can't see that we are going to be in the mix for promotion ourselves, and if he had real confidence in his own ability then surely he'd back himself to help fire us to the premier league. :ayatollah:

We do need a striker, Mason is too lightweight, why sign Maynard then say oh we don't need a striker? We do.
We need defenders more though

Fraizer Campbell? :shock: I'd be stunned if we got a player of his caliber. Hope we can land a prolific goal scorer to cover Maynard. :ayatollah:

Obviously Malcky has not done his full report/ back ground check on Frazier Campbell,if he feels he is to good to join us, would have picked up ?

Im glad Campbell didn't join with an attitude like that. If that's the way he is thinking then his career will never hit the heights he expects. Class players step down when they know it is right to prove themselves and try and bounce back. If he's happy sitting on his backside and collecting a salary then sod him.

Rather get in someone passionate and who has a desire to play every game.

The player we should be going for is one who comes out and asks for a move because he wants to play more football. :ayatollah: :ayatollah:
