If his knees are fine (and he's passed a medical) he will score for fun in this division. The lad
got 15 in 32 games for Hull at this level. Bit more Premiership experience about him too now.
He's 5ft 8"... so i cant help thinking we're not done as far as forwards are concerned this window.
the more I think about it, the better I feel about Campbell
Will form a strike partnership with Rudy of course - the new Toshack and Keegan!

No real recent form to judge him on but, the goal stats for when he was at Hull look good.
Hopefully he can get a bit of confidence built up with 2 weeks of training and a development game before banging in a goal or two at Leeds!
Also.........There was a lot of talk of us going for Mackie last summer, he'd be an amazing loan signing for this front line IMO.

Mackie is starting for QPR. He won't be going anywhere on loan

£650,000 according to BBC Sport
Cardiff City close to securing Fraizer Campbell transfer
Cardiff City are believed on the brink of signing Sunderland striker Fraizer Campbell.
BBC Wales has learned that Bluebirds boss Malky MacKay is keen to clinch the deal before the club fly to Dubai for warm weather training on Sunday.
Campbell, 25, has scored once in 15 games for the Black Cats this season
The fee is thought to be in the region of £650,000. Sunderland paid £3.5 million when they signed him from Manchester United in 2009.
Cardiff City's Championship form
22 December: Leicester City 0-1 Cardiff City
26 December: Cardiff City 2-1 Crystal Palace
29 December: Cardiff City 1-0 Millwall
1 January: Birmingham City 0-1 Cardiff City
12 January: Cardiff City 0-0 Ipswich Town
Cardiff's move for Campbell comes as Sunderland bid for Swansea City striker Danny Graham.
Bluebirds captain Mark Hudson says he has been impressed by Campbell in the past.
"I've played against him, he's a good striker, and I'm sure there's one or two others that we've been linked with.
"If we do get the likes of maybe Fraizer in then that's going to be great for us because he's a good striker."
Cardiff City lead the championship by six points from Hull City, were Campbell had his most productive spell as a striker in the 2007/08 season, scoring 15 goals in 32 appearances.
It is that Championship pedigree which could make the former Manchester United player a valuable asset as the Bluebirds' push for promotion.
Cardiff's recent good form has been based on a miserly defence which has conceded just two goals in their last five Championship matches.
They have scored five times in those matches, and Mackay is thought to be looking for more firepower in front of goal.

Honestly Carl, Fraizer has asked for number 27, as 2 & 7 makes 9.
