However, United's record for buying forwards, and not producing forwards is quite well known. However, if he continues with this, it's replacing Saha that I think SAF might have in mind for Campbell. Whilst he may not be (at the moment) a better player, he's got every chance to become so, and his attributes are quite similar to Saha (though injuries every other day isn't one of them thankfully!).

Agree with you, in part, but I don't think
replacing Saha is what he has in mind for Campbell, more a sort of under-study.
He is skinny but he's not short and he will fill out. If he keeps improving at this rate he might yet turn out to be a long-term replacement for Saha but that's a very big if and I reckon he'll stay out on loan until the end of the season, at least.
