Campbell joins Hull City on loan

Kelvin · 18th October 2007, 14:45

Manchester United youngster Fraizer Campbell has joined on loan until January.

The Huddersfield-born striker has impressed at youth and reserve level for United, signing professional terms in March 2006.

He gained some experience in a loan spell with Royal Antwerp in Belgium last season, and has made two appearances from the bench for United's first team

Yet another player who should benefit from a loan. The Championship level should suit him well at this point in his career.

Tigers pounce for Campbell
United youngster joins Hull
By Graeme Bailey Last updated: 18th October 2007

The 20-year-old has agreed a three-month loan deal at The KC Stadium and could make his debut against Watford this weekend.

Campbell has been involved with United's first-team this season - making his debut against Manchester City, but Sir Alex Ferguson has allowed him to move on a temporary deal.

"I don't think it's any secret that we like Fraizer and he's coming to us from a good club," said manager Phil Brown.

"We believe he can do a good job and the important thing for us now is to make him feel very much at home and get him into the fold as quickly as possible.

"We have a very tight-knit, super group of lads and I'm sure he'll enjoy his time here.

"We've watched Fraizer over a period of months rather than weeks. Our chief scout Bob Shaw has seen him on several occasions as have Brian Horton and myself.

"He was also on the television a number of times during Manchester United's pre-season because he played a lot of games.

"I think we're all aware of his ability and what he can bring to us. It's all about giving him the confidence and opportunity to show that, which is something I'm sure we'll do."

Journos love their animal puns, don't they? Didn't Wolves "pounce" on Gibson too?

Hull?

el eric · 18th October 2007, 17:28

good move foe the lad, hope he does well.

cant ever see him being United quality, hopefully he'll get a good move for himself out of this. He's miles better than Dong from what ive seen

he needs to bulk-up, decent player will probably play in the EPL not with United though.

PS18 · 18th October 2007, 18:09

exactly what he needs at this stage in his development, be interesting to see how he gets on.

Tribec · 18th October 2007, 19:27

May not be the most attractive club we could have sent Campbell to, but for sure it will do him some good if he gets some goals and a run in the team. This move I'll keep a keener eye on than most as I really do like Campbell.

ecantona7 · 18th October 2007, 20:39

better than staying and getting no first-team football. championship is good enough for him for now

rotherham_red · 18th October 2007, 22:57

great, im at uni in hull - may go down and see him in action alongside the legend that is dean windass!

If I can be arsed which I probably can't I'll try get some info on how well he does etc.

reddevilcanada · 19th October 2007, 03:02

will be a good challenge for him, no doubt.

Shite accent there mate. Ashbee put a challenge in on some charlton guy and they was this huge brawl, I was watching the highlight one night in the pub, everyone was cheering.

2 goals for Campbell so far against Barnsley

Just seen the goals on Sky and they were both excellent.

PS18 · 22nd October 2007, 21:09

great run and cool finish for the first, brilliant strength and composure for the second. was clearly elbowed in the box as well but the ref gave nothing. hell of a home debut.

Retirantmobs · 22nd October 2007, 22:51

Just been talking to a few city fans, they want to sign him in January, had a very good game. He also had an okay game against Watford, was subbed in the second half.

M160RA · 23rd October 2007, 00:06

It's impressive, considering he hasn't been playing regular football for the first couple of months of the season. If he can maintain a good scoring record for Hull, then it will be a good sign for his future success.

RedCanadian · 23rd October 2007, 00:09

This loan spell will definitely be good for his development and it seems for Hull as well. It was certainly doing him no good sitting in the reserves.

Speaking of Hull, didn't they recently sign Okocha?

Yup and Pederson.

Pogue Mahone · 12th November 2007, 13:56

Another goal and MOTM performance at the weekend. Scored a peno last week.

Seems to be doing everything that's asked of him, may yet turn out to have an impact at MUFC.

People seem to be loving him round here, wanting him on a permenant basis.

Elliott · 12th November 2007, 15:22

He's certainly playing in a very nice stadium every other week.

saw the goals earlier. made the first, brilliant finish for the second and he won the free-kick for the third. very impressive there so far.

Red Indian Chief Torn Rubber · 13th November 2007, 06:53

I would be over the moon If he or Dong prove to be the 4th striker we need come January & the second half of the season. Seriously

Tribec · 13th November 2007, 08:47

It seems that in the Championship that Campbell is doing exceptionally well. This is positive, as it's certainly more competitive than the reserve league and more physical. It's that part of his game I'm interested to hear about. He's only slight, but is he coping with the physical aspect of that league? If so then I have every confidence that he can make it at United.

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.

That's what I actually mean, not to replace him right now, but at a later date.
