Is Duffus coming in to be our main striker? He’s played number 9 in previous clubs. Serious question.

Let’s hope not

I don't think he has been brought in as our main striker - but is someone who could become our main striker if he scores a few early and gains confidence

I think it's a bit of a daft assumption to assume we've brought an injury prone player in on a one year contract to be our main striker. The management need their heads looking at if that's the case.

They've signed a lad from Hull - Billy Chadwick - so that looks like a no-go.

Missed out on Cole Stockton.

Were we even in for him?

Going by some of the posts, we've been after every player out there, available or not.

A player who so obviously downed tools last season would immediately fail the ‘is he a good lad?’ criteria.

According to the Scots paper the Daily Record Campbell is signing for Barrow

According to The 72 :

“Luring Campbell to Cumbria would be an impressive coup by Barrow. He will give Pete Wild more competition and depth in the middle of the park.

The Scotsman is a decent age, has the potential to grow and develop in the future and already has experience of playing in the fourth tier. He spent the past campaign on loan at Stevenage and was part of Steve Evans’ side who won promotion to League One.

Campbell was given the green light to head out the exit door on a temporary basis by Aberdeen when Boro came calling to get some experience under his belt. He went on to make 20 appearances for the Hertfordshire club in all competitions and scored a single goal away at Aston Villa in the FA Cup.


The former Scotland youth international has been the books at Pittodrie for his whole career to date and has played 75 times for the Dons to date. He has also been loaned out to Kilmarnock in the past.

Campbell is now preparing for a new chapter and it appears Barrow will beat Tranmere and Colchester to get him.”

That sounds a promising signing if it happens.

More than promising Mike. Campbell is very decent quality. So good in fact that I’m having trouble believing it though I was fully aware of our interest.

If it comes off then in Pedros terminology it would one of our best panic buys potentially for some time. Let’s hope it happens.
