Who's This Frazier Campbell Chap?

Saturday, 06 September 08, 09:27 AM · Posted by HarryHotspur

The viewing figures for England U21's game last night were bumped out of the stratosphere by Yids eagerly hoping to get a glimpse of one Frazier Campbell. the few contributions he made were pleasing enough.
Sifting through opinion on Manchester United boards their views are all much the same. Good player with huge potential.
"Big-headed, by the sounds of things."
"He's coming back."
"Campbell's not "powerful", to me. He's quick but gets hassled off the ball when under pressure. Takes tackles well, though, and isn't afraid of charging at players."
"Its a good move for Campbell. Now he'll get better chances to prove his class."
He is absolutely unproven, but with only Benty and Crazy Paving and the soon to be upon us 'cup tied striker' issue, we are almost certain to see him in the first team sooner rather than later.
I'll add I do like Snap's idea that his shirt ought be 'Brazillian 'styleeee' and just have FRAZIER on the back.
Your thoughts as ever, my dears...

Frazier on the back gotta be, someone has got to speak to him / the club to let them know! none of us could cheer for a Campbell again (Judas mentalist Tw*t! )

Good idea about the shirt name Harry, we don't want the other name appearing at the lane, you know the one that starts with c!

Totally agree with not having his surname on the back.....my hopes for Frazier are that he exceeds my expectations,falls in love with the Tottenham faithful and tells that red nose who does he think he is cunt ferguson he dont wanna come back.

Who cares who he is? Whether he's Klinsmann or Rasiak for us he's going back to OT next summer. We just get to help a player who's future is with Man U. Terrible deal for us.

I'm really sorry but I just can't get myself excited about this boy. There's something tainted about this whole relationship, and as much potential he has, I couldn't truthfully give a toss. I'm putting all my eggs in one basket and hoping that Benty has a cracker and that Pav proves his detractors wrong and is on a one man mission to put away any sniff of the ball.

Sooner January comes, the sooner we can put this issue of potential to bed.

I sent the shirt idea to Levy yesterday (and the club confirmed that the email was forwarded to him), and with it I sent a link to yesterday's blog bigging him up!

If FRAIZER can score 25 goals this season it's a good deal for us. But buying price will then be £30.75m.

if he does turn out to be good then man-usa are going to take im back and if they do sell him to us then we will get stung because of the berber issue so dont get your hopes up as for the number shirt and the name who cares its all old news move on!!!

A two footed striker? Thats a good thing. No more outside of the boot slices do we have to put up with, missed goal scoring opportunities because our striker is so one footed . . .could be a good thing.
Now, how do i email Paul Barber, John Alexander or Daniel Levy?

I live near Hull and i know someone in the coaching staff who watched him a few times.

He told me that the boy has great potential and he was a great help in getting Hull City up and they are gutted that he went back to utd. Apparently he is (im swearing i no) similar to Ian Wright very cocky and we will give defenders no time to settle, also loves to look to get on to a final ball with his playing on the shoulder of the defender.

I feel utd have been very clever on this move because if we play him we are just giving him the experience that he needs in the prem and now even europe.

my first post deserved that comment but it's just hard to be excited by a player who isnt ours and was only loaned at the last minute as a stop-gap solution. I hope he does well as im sure he,ll get some games but come january when we (hopefully)buy another striker then his chances are going to become limited and truthfully if we do splash out then surely he will feature less and less,so really were just hoping he can see us through to the next transfer window ?

How clever have Utd been? The story is at 11.30 or so we said ffs givvus a striker or no deal, our deals have all gone tits up. So red nose calls Fraizer. Hardly a cunning conspiracy on their part. If he scores goals that's all we need for a year.

I agree with you snap but then again they will have 5 strikers, which surely will not favour fraz next season, but if tevez leaves maybe it will be good for him, im not sure what will happen but i feel we are just making him a better player if we play him.

I still find it hard to believe we would take a promising youngster on a loan only deal. Is this guy really that far ahead of Peckhart?
The 11th hour deal that saw Berbhisoff going left us light up front until January and maybe that was our thinking, he is for 3 months only not all season. Either than or we have an unpublished transfer clause that's being kept quiet. I will be totally sick if we just groom him for a return to OT. Meanwhile I hope he gives us some service.

Its a bit disappointing that we dont have one single viable option in our reserve or youth team to plug the gap if need be.

I am assuming that Pekhart is not the player we hoped he would be.

agree with most of the comments. He looks useful and could turn out to be amazing. But if he is any good, MAn U will take him back and he will want to go!

i guess campbell has had 1 season in the championship and Peckhart has not. So he might be regarded as being a bit more ready. Really crazy of us not to have an option to purchase. At the point of the evening Fergie would have given in

I think the reasoning behind Pekhart is that he has only seen reserve action and Fraiser has at least played a single season in the championship so he is the safer bet. Plus he is a free player for us as Man U are still paying his wages. We allow Pekhart to develop properly and not throwing him in at the deep end. Reserve team action straight to the firs team just doesnt happen anymore and most of the time managers want to see players cut it week in week out in a lower league and see where it goes from there. Trust me even if Fraiser turns out to be better than just average is he really going to get a look in at Man U if he likes it at the Lane then he might tell Fergie where to go. If he wants to stay at Man U then it didn't cost us anything and we can start to bring through Pekhart after hes had a season in the Championship. Its not ideal but seeing as we couldn't bring anyone else in it seems to be a sensible solution. Thats IF I'm right of course. Im just speculating but it makes sense.

If you missed CaptainMabbsey's link yesterday to this response to a Vital article you may find it enlightening:

Here's some interesting info... well, some of you may not be interested, but I always enjoy finding out the stuff that us fans aren't usually privy to. Regarding the Fraizer Campbell loan deal... On Monday, Campbell had agreed to join Wigan on loan for one year. At around 4pm, Roy Hodgson, Steve Bruce and Paul Ince were all at the hotel Campbell was staying in, trying to persuade him to join their clubs on loan. He rejected Fulham because he preferred to stay in Manchester near his girlfriend, he rejected Blackburn for one reason apparently because Danny Simpson is on loan there from United, and either him or his dad allegedly can't stand the bloke, thanks to various unflattering, lurid stories that hit the press. So the decision was made that Fraizer would go to Wigan. He was never going to Hull - they bid £7m, but Ferguson refused to sell at any price. But, his agent decided to play hardball and asked Bruce for a £250,000 fee!! I won't go into details of what I heard about how that fee could be put through the books, but basically it was agreed to. So all the paperwork was drawn up, everyone was looking forward to a big fat bonus, while United were waiting for the paperwork to come back to them for Campbell to sign, Spurs called at about 10pm demanding Campbell on loan as part of the Berbatov deal. Allegedly the Campbell loan would be the sweetener for Spurs to drop their complaint to the Premier League, there was no money involved in getting us to do that. So basically Ferguson said, "he's going to Tottenham". United love it because they know he'll get games since we're short up front. He's on £27k per week, 0-9 goals is no bonus, once he scores 10 he gets £50k bonus, then £10k per goal after that!! Plus, Levy was offering £2k per month to pay for his accommodation down here, but eventually agreed on £8k per month!! No matter what so-called ITKs tell you, THERE IS NO OPTION TO BUY AT THE END OF THE YEAR. If he's a world-beater, they'll take him back, if he proves he can't cut it in the PL, they may then let us have him (how nice). Ferguson will NOT sell to Spurs because he can't stand Levy, with a passion! Just thought i'd give you a bit of inside info to chew over (PS. Levy and the financial director did all the negotiating, not DC)

We should be giving valuable experience to our own youngsters not doing Man. Utd job for them .Not interested him pulling on a spurs shirt at all , what a waste of time when he is going back next season.

i live in manchester and i have to say all my united mates were predicting big things for frazier in pre-season and are desperatley clinging on to the fact that he is returning to OT. I think if he performs for us we will sign him for ABOUT 7.5 million.
ALSO he started the firdt game of the season for UTD even though tevez and shrek were both fit!
I am happy about the deal and my UTD mates are not, even though they all have a secret soft spot for spurs!
