Not convinced personally, he's defo more of a wide forward I think. Yep, I think the manager is wrong on this one. I'll put it down to him not seeing much of him or that he doesnt think he has the work rate for the wide positions.

If he sees Mmaee and Campbell competing for minutes in the short-term, may suggest that the "forward player" we're looking to sign this month is more of a wide player - which would tie in with what Fraser Fletcher said and the talk of Poku?

Tyrese will never make a Centre forward down the middle in my opinion due to his lack of determination and physical presence that is required to play the role.If he had some of what his old man had he’d be one hell of a striker but it’s sadly lacking

The player wants to play centrally and the manager sees him playing there too, yet Gary Hackett is the super pundit who knows better. why did you never apply for the manager's job?

Possibly Fuller, I can't see him not having Mmaee as his no 1 choice.

I agree, I don't want Tyrese running back making tackles etc(which he can't btw), I want him getting lots of shots away and running at people in the box. My one worry would be, he can't head the ball for toffee. So play the ball on the ground 🙄

That may be the case but it'll be a big mistake if we don't bring in a proper number 9, both Mmaee and Campbell cant play the lone striker role we've seen that. I wonder if Vale will let Uche Ikpeazu go ?

If Campbell is still carrying the effects of an injury at this time,then we should sell him if it is possible.If he is running down his contract, we should sell him if it is possible. I don't think it is possible.

Possibly Fuller, I can't see him not having Mmaee as his no 1 choice. I think we probably need them both on the pitch to carry much of a goal threat. I'd start Campbell wide tomorrow. It's hard to see him starting Campbell down the middle and leaving Mmaee on the bench in the short-term (although we'll see who this new forward player is and where he fits if he arrives)

If it is a wide forward, he needs to have pace and carry a goal threat.

Campbell can play the central role if we need somebody to play off the shoulder of the defender. Booting 40 yard balls to him to head he can’t do in the same way that Mmaee can’t really. I think Campbell has a place is a fast attacking side looking for players to make runs.

Like vast majority of strikers he needs to play in a pair which is why 4321, 451, 541 any formation with 1 central striker generally doesn't work

He’s never had a chance centrally bar when he first game in and was getting used to men’s football.

Correct, he's most definitely not a striker who can run the channels and lead the line on his own, but with players around him there's no reason why he couldn't play that role......

For all his faults Campbell is a natural born finisher. Few people have that. Play him central and provide assists. He will put them away

away at Huddersfield Tyrese played central/on his own , with Haksabanovic playing 'in the hole' behind as an old fashioned inside forward, we played wing backs Huddersfield played a back 3 & didn't know whether to come out to Haks or drop back to stop Ty getting in behind, it worked quite well but Ty finishing wasn't spot on that night sadly Happy to see Ty play down the middle against any defence with a high line, at home or any match where we are playing a low block (when did this phrase replace 'defending deep'?) can't see working well

I would say that we don't really have that striker who plays the central striker role and that’s the main reason we have struggled the past few seasons. That position is pivitol to us looking a threat up front. That’s where our money should be spent.

However he is used it’s now or never for Campbell. I fear he really needs a move to get his career back on any sort of track - been treading water for far too long.

If it's true he won't sign an extension and we don't have an option for another year, how much could we get for him realistically? Approximately nothing ! And yet he could be one of our most intrinsically valueable players. Because he has what nearly nobody else has: pace and the ability to put the ball away...

He will put them away Like most( all our strikers )need to play in a 2 up top to get the best out of them. None of our current strikers have the minerals or ability to lead the line on their own.

My one worry would be, he can't head the ball for toffee. What other wide player does naff all out of possession? Every time Campbell fails to do his defensive work is a time that a midfielder gets drawn out of their natural position to cover him, or a fullback is outnumbered. His attacking output is not good enough to cover that. The only time it was, was during that short spell before his injury. He’s never got close to looking like the same player as that again.

The thing with Campbell is that he’s largely been utilised in poor set ups under MON and Neil.
In the right system with a team creating the right sort of chances I think he can play centrally and do well. I’m hoping Schumacher knows how to get the best out of him.

Reading that interview it sounds like he just wants Campbell to score goals and to not worry about the defensive duties of a wide player. Really hoping he can get a tune out of Campbell because he's such a natural finisher he should get double figures easily. Do you think he will change his mind on a new contract in the end? I hope he does because i think schumacher will get the best out of him. I don't doubt that playing in a more offensively sided team will suit Campbell more, especially if we're getting more players round him. Whether he'll stay, I'm not sure. To be honest I think he'll be off elsewhere for a fresh start in the summer.
