Campbell has already been in the academy for a number of years, he is at the stage now where he needs to play real football if he is to progress further.
The loan in Scotland playing adult football with a club struggling against relegation but...
Tarkowski and Branthwaite have been the first choice centre back pairing now for some time under both Dyche and Moyes.
If either of these was injured last season then it was a choice between Keane and O Brien as replacement.
We know that O Brien...
If anyone has been played it's Fulham, they have had to pay significantly more than they wanted for a player they already had. A player with relatively little resale value and a questionable injury history.
Our situation was different. We chose...
Christ. Bit of sweeping statement. I'd suggest Brits are way worse, more ignorant (see above), less refined and bigger helmets by far.

2: Nobody knows what his playing role is set out to be, compared to any coaching responsibility.

What he brings to the team and represents to the club is priceless. We would be foolish to have not extended for another year.
I am made up with the clubs decision.
There is a huge difference between the influence a player/captain can have on a squad compared to any coach. They are like chalk and cheese. The player is in the dressingroom listening to the players , hearing their problems and helping sort...
The worst kept secret really.
Even if he doesnt make the pitch all that often anymore, he clearly has plenty of influence off of it. Has never been on a big wage either.
I'm more than fine with it personally.
