He might have scored 9 goals but 6 were against the likes of Huddersfield,Stoke,Hull and Barnsley, teams which have found it rather hard-going this season. I have seen him play and he is promising.Left-footed, son of Kevin Campbell. Willo, dear chap, think your 'willo-pedia' must have gone awry, doesn't he PLAY for Stoke?
This operation, will make the 'Charge Of The Light Brigade' seem like a simple military exercise. |

He has just about 1-2 goals less against good opposition than Morelos does ) Morelos, who Rangers want 25 million for,has only scored against Porto (2 times) and Young Boys (2 times) as big teams. Rest came against average or poor defences. The point was to take this kid on a free transfer or a small sum. The investment would have been good. He is at a great level for 20 years. Now...of course sanctioning a 15 million move for him is not something easily decided. I'm not saying he's Aubameyang all of a sudden, maybe you understood wrong and are comparing him to the big guns in terms of goals.

With respect, I realise who he has scored against this season and I am not comparing him to any "Big guns" at all.

Scored 7 goals since winter at just 20 years old, 9 overall in the Championship. Very unhappy that the board missed this chance. Now he's under contract with them until 2024 and would cost more than 15 million. Mattteo - so the board missed a chance between you spotting the oportunity on 22 January and this chap signing a new contract on 24 January. Right....
Jackson.. Wan Bissaka.... Sansom.. Nicholas.. Cannon.. Guehi.... Zaha... Thomas.. Byrne... Holton.. Rogers.. that should do it.. |

Entering last 6 months of contract. A very good striker for his age. Plays (and scores) for England U20s. Will be one of the important PL strikers in the future. Now this is a good deal if done as an investment for the future. I imagine Stoke isn't in the position to demand more tha a few million. Celtic and Rangers don't really have the power to go against a Premier League club and there isn't any conpetition from Top 6 clubs (first he'll have to play at a lower level, but I imagine that in 3-4 years he'll be able to make the step up to a Top 6 club). The player would perhaps enjoy more signing along term contract with a PL club rather than Celtic or Rangers, even if Palace were to send him on loan one season. Or even use him in the fisrt team squad even now! He's at 20 yo much better than Benteke or Wickham. And he will become even better with time. This season has 6 goals and 6 assists in the Championship so far. Still only 20 yearsold. Would have been a great investment. How much salary could Stoke have given him to sign with them until 2024?? Surely not more than a PL team would have afforded. Now not even a 15 million bid would budge him. And Premier League buying teams will come in the winter or next summer. Yeah, when I made the thread he was finalizing his deal so there wasn't time to get him in those 2 days, but it was known that he will be entering his final months. He should have been approached longer ago. If a competent scouting director was at the club, this player would have been a Palace player today, either loaned out or in the first team, scoring in the PL at 20 years and bringing the club a large sum of miney from a sale.

Do you have any suggestions for a competent sporting director by any chance?

I will not reply to his posts again not due to your advice but it really is not worth it. I replied to you our previous conversation on the other thread. We can see from there if I was right in backing the claims and how much you understood at the time you were arguing with me over players like Batshuayi or Benteke. I know you are ignoring that reply with all those quotes of yours. If I were you, I would pretend not to see that thread too, because this is really what you do now. It basically shows you are either trolling or unwilling to say you were wrong and apologize. Edited by mattteo (26 Nov 2020 10.49am)

Well if you can't get a Scouting Director job, if they ever revive 'Allo 'Allo, I think you're in with a chance ! Seriously though, if you believe you have something to offer in terms of identifying players, write to Dougie and ask his opinion on the likes of Campbell...get a dialogue going.
