Mr Zo Posted December 9, 2013 Report Share Posted December 9, 2013 (edited) His agent is on bbc website tonight claiming he could be a buddie for second half of season. Would be great if this happened. Edited December 9, 2013 by Mr Zo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sonny Posted December 9, 2013 Report Share Posted December 9, 2013 (edited) The Press Release (ie its in the bag and no longer a rumour ) .... St Mirren are in line to take Newcastle youngster Adam Campbell on loan come January 1, an agent working for both clubs claims. Spencer Downey has already helped to arrange moves for Paul Dummet and Conor Newton to the Paisley club as part of an affiliation agreement with the Geordies and says England Under-19 cap Campbell could be next. The 18-year-old - who turns 19 on New Year's Day - was close to agreeing a deal with the Buddies during the summer but moved to Carlisle on a short-term switch instead. But now Downey says Saints boss Danny Lennon could finally get his man. He said: "We're hoping to have that one tied up for January 1 and get Adam up there for the match with Kilmarnock the day after. "Danny thinks he is fantastic. He's wanted Adam for a while and probably should have gone up there in August but it didn't work out that way. "Newcastle value what St Mirren have done for Paul and Conor and believe sending Adam up there would be good for him. "He's a live-wire striker and will bring so much to that team. Steven Thompson will love him. He has so much energy and is rapid. He has a good shot off of both feet and will score goals." Campbell is highly rated by United manager Alan Pardew and made three Premier League appearances last season and another two in Europa League ties - but has yet to feature for Newcastle this term. Meanwhile, Downey is also working on a deal that will see Newton's own loan stay extended until the end of the season. The 22-year-old first joined Saints last January as he linked up with best friend Dummett - now back playing for the Magpies first-team. The duo helped the Scottish Premiership side to the League Cup, with Newton scoring in the 3-2 win over Hearts in the final at Hampden. St Mirren chief executive Brian Caldwell hopes to have the paperwork "concluded soon rather than later". However, Downey - who represents the player - admits there is competition from clubs south of the border. He said: "Because of how well Conor is doing right now he is attracting interest from clubs in the Championship. "But he wants to stay where he is. Newcastle would like him to stay because he's progressing week in, week out. "However, a lot of people are watching the SPL because it's a great breeding ground. "But the question remains that with Conor doing so well, do we leave him where he is, or allow him to move on to a club in the Championship where he may have to settle in all over again? "Both Danny Lennon and his assistant Tommy Craig are both clear when they say he is good enough for the Championship. He has good energy and skill."

class of 76-77 Posted December 9, 2013 Report Share Posted December 9, 2013 We need some pace and a helping hand for Thommo, although it has to be said that Campbell is a youngster and may need some time to adjust to first team football. I think it's interesting to hear that Connor would prefer to stay for the remainder of the season, but his agent is also suggesting that championship sides are interested in taking him. I reckon it's vital that we secure him for another 6 months as he is an integral part of the team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Attendance: A healthy 730 including Paul Dummett, Robins President Malcolm MacDonald and fellow former Magpie Tommy Craig - presumably present in his capacity of number two at St. Mirren and eyeing Adam Campbell.

faraway saint Posted December 15, 2013 Report Share Posted December 15, 2013 (edited) Watching us yesterday this boy could be a great addition and assist for Thommo. Too often Thommo is isolated, this boys pace could be the perfect foil and give Thommo a target and also create space. Fingers crossed this happens. PS Who do we drop?

Isabella Duke Posted December 15, 2013 Report Share Posted December 15, 2013 To summarise, faraway thinks that a player he's never seen in action would be a great foil up front in a side he's seen once this season? Almost as good as highlighting a game where Danny Lennon was manager to slaughter the tactics of Gus Macpherson! Indeed, as the goal in the game he highlighted came from a free kick we conceded after failing to clear our lines, he actually highlighted a goal that wouldn't have resulted had we used the tactics he didn't want us to use! Now you *really* couldn't make that up! What a fool! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isabella Duke Posted December 15, 2013 Report Share Posted December 15, 2013 With Derek Riordan replacing Paul McGowan, I wonder how faraway also sees Campbell fitting into the side? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FTOF Posted December 15, 2013 Report Share Posted December 15, 2013 If Campbell signs it should be interesting to see what role he plays in the team. At Newcastle he seems to be regarded as a striker. You'd imagine if he is sent to us, they will want us to develop this specific role. He won't replace a fit Thommo, so unless we're going with two strikers, it would seem he'll be a sub. http://www.nufc-forum.com/nufcforum/index.php?topic=41802.165 The last poster on the thread above doesn't seem too impressed by the SPFL premiership.
