New Loan Signing - Achille Campion

[Hagrid]

Smurthwaite dismisses the rumours of Pope leaving - Sentinel

 

Thank christ.

[robf]

This may also explain why Campion was snapped up by Bradford (the club he was last on trial at) - injury!

 

---

Campion, meanwhile, has been nursing an injury which has denied him the chance to press his claims for a contract after scoring a hat-trick in the 3-0 friendly win at Avenue.

 

Parkinson said: “Campion is still with us but unfortunately he got injured last week when I wanted to give him a good taste of first-team action..."

Welcome mate, best of luck. Is your heel the injury problem? (Achilles!!) Looks good on video and got ball skills as well as power up front. Maybe Micky's had enough of Willo and will allow him to leave somewhere, not Popey?

[PV1993]

Maybe, instead of paying a fee for someone, we went for a loan deal so we could also get another defender in on loan?

 

Probably not, but we live in hope. Another Left back if you please Smurf. Maybe a bit of solid competition will make Dicko more disciplined...

[werstayinup]

looks like this kid has a good agent trying to get him fixed up in there England, he's been on trial at at sheff wed, yeovil and bradford pre season. Lets hope he's half decent.

 

Scored for Yeovil and Bradford on trial

 

Oh and Smurf says no one has bid for Pope

[The Kalamazoo Kid]

Am I right in saying that Campion was most recently playing in the 4th tier of Swedish football? (his team Norrby IF got promoted to the Swedish first division/3rd tier)

I guess we might of agreed a fee for him if he proves himself while on loan here

[TylerB]

More goals like this in a Vale shirt please!

 

[valiantsireno]

How long is the length of his loan deal?

 

Scratch that just been confirmed on twitter until January 1st.

How long is the length of his loan deal?

 

Till Jan apparently

[jeffers]

Suddenly a surfeit of strikers when IMO we are much more in need of defensive cover across the back four--is this just me--or does anyone else share the same concern?

 

I am with you, as I keep saying our defense cost us two goals a game last season and nothing seems to have changed apart from losing Lofty's energy and Griff's aggression.

[Tenement Funster]

I won't sniff at a new signing but I too thought we may have altered our sides to a defender.

[davehartshill]

Hope he isn't Ville Viljanen mark 2. I think that is the last player we signed from the Swedish league.

 

Doesn't fill me with confidence that Adams is going to drop a forward and stick Jennings or Brown in behind Lines and O'Connor...

[Jacky Noff]

Welcome on board chap.

 

Is this a signal that we are about to sell Tom Pope?

 

No.

How long is the length of his loan deal?

If he's only here til January, makes you wonder how much game time he will actually get. we've got some slew, willo , dodds and now campion competing for one spot.
