So was I, don't worry Am not bitter that Kane, Grealish, Rice, Maguire, Bellingham , Madisson all come from Irish families of course 😁 They're more Irish than Andy Townsend was. I'll give you that.  To be sure Great player though |

hes not played much the last couple of seasons and when he has he's not been prolific.
Lot of money at this level for an unknown, if only we had a head of recruitment who could source these type of players at a fraction of the cost.

So it seems, still a gamble at a goal a season over the last 2 seasons.

So Sheffield United who need it to be a loan whilst their takeover drags on Sunderland who have the Clarke money but are known not to pay well and Stoke who do pay well That's not considering any unknown clubs Presumably if it's a perm deal the player would prefer Sheffield United as presume his perception would be they are the most likely to get to the PL He'd be absolutely guaranteed to be first choice here that's for sure |

Is this guy really that good or is it more a case of he’s young, British, decentish record and openly available.
Don’t get me wrong I wouldn’t mind him but he’s surely not the be all and end all.
With his recent injury record there has to be other safer / cheaper options available.

Good points The fact that multiple clubs are after him shows the lack of cheaper alternatives in England I think a lot of clubs are looking on him being a sure thing based on one good half season. He may turn out to be a gamble worth taking but a lot will be expected of him for whoever he signs for. |

If Tom Cannon wanted to be here, he’d be here by now.
Can’t believe there’s 20 pages of this, it’s not happening!!!

Koumas had a good game, but we can’t get carried away and put our eggs into the basket of relaying on 18 year old to get 15+ goals that are required for a glimmer of hope at play offs.
We need 2 strikers who can score goals.

With his recent injury record there has to be other safer / cheaper options available. Have to say although I’m pretty ignorant on other players I’ve never really heard of him. Going off recent oatcake meltdowns and clamouring for other players we’ve bought in the last year or so I just can’t accept him or Stansfield are the next goal scoring machines. I don’t know who is, but it seems like the more a name is mentioned the better he becomes before he’s played a game. Been here before many times lately |

I don’t think that a few quid here or there is necessarily going to swing it either way in a deal like this. Think the player will have a bigger say, especially on a permanent deal |

If we're offering more than one of the others Leicester won't allow him to negotiate with another club unless they match our offer. What do you think they are a charity? |

Yep Considering some are pining for a striker who scored 3 times last season I can't see the issue Falls down a bit when you consider he had a fairly disrupted season and the season before that was less disrupted he had 14 goal involvements including 9 goals. Still not brilliant but better than anything Gallagher ever produced in his lengthy Blackburn career. |

Campbell's goal contribution per minute played will compare quite favourably with all other strikers we've had in the championship but that doesn't suit your argument. |

His record or a midfielder with a better strike rate doesn't suit your argument you mean. The fact you have to go back to MON days re Campbell says it all 👍 |
