I really like the signing. Our most pressing issue is creating and scoring goals, and with GMac needing to be rested periodically (to my mind) and Kaikai and Horgan out the door, this makes perfect sense.
Does it? Kaikai, Horgan, Al Hamadi and Mellor have all left the building in recent days. Just because Campbell has something about him doesn't mean he's a direct replacement for Anis (he says...)
An attack of Chem, Mehmeti and Mccleary behind Vokes (or Hanlan) with two of Scowen, Thompson and Gape (with Wing and Wheeler to come in from time to time) doesn't look too shabby.
I would still have money on Max being more likely to leave by tomorrow night than Anis.
Much as I love them, I don't think we need two of Scowen and Thompson, either (unless maybe away from home against a top team, or to lock down a game). They are both like two players in their own right! Gemini Josh and the Thompson Twins.
Mehmeti certainly looks more at home coming in off the left and shooting but he has played off the right too. Hanlan I guess will be the 'victim' of this signing.
If Gareth, Dobbo and Andrew Howard were given the task of finding someone to bring in to replace Anis ahead of him being sold, Campbell is absolutely the kind of signing they would probably come up with.

Welcome, Chem!
He seems like a proper player - has been part of the first-team set-up since last year
Looks a great signing. Hope this doesn’t mean a certain someone is leaving
Welcome young man.
Good signing.
Sounds like it's pronounced "Kem", not "Chem".
Hmm.....I can't be the only one thinking it, can I?
Stop thinking it, you’re making me nervous.
At your age?
Everyone say it together with fingers crossed: "Cover for GMac, cover for GMac, cover for GMac..."
No you're not... First thing I thought as well
The more you read about Campbell the more it becomes clear he’s a direct replacement. My anxiety will be through the roof tomorrow.
Just seems strange that there's not the slightest hint of a Mehmeti transfer link anywhere
That just makes me more nervous if anything.

He's a left-sided player who looks too good not be starting regularly, so...

There’s not a chance Wheeler gets dropped on current form
And I can’t see Wing dropping out for Gape at the moment.
Max
Grimmer Mawson Tafazolli Obita
Scowen Thompson
Mccleary Mehmeti Campbell
Vokes
Subs: (7 of) Cartright, McCarthy, Forino, JJ, Gape, Wing, Wheeler, Hanlan, (freeman, De Barr)
Strongest 18 ever (if it ever played together) ?
I can't see us using Mehmeti in the 10

Have to say it’s put me on edge too.

Sorry but no way Gape and Thompson get in in front of Wing and Wheeler atm
Looks a really good signing. Hopefully not a replacement for Mehmeti. Seeing both of the m playing together, could be a lot of fun.
A very dubious baby names website says that Chem is short for Alchemy.
Let's hope he blah blah blah blah GOLD!
It’d be good if he wasn’t a replacement for Anis, but equally good that we’ve got someone who could be.
a 6 month replacement....hardly a good deal , lose our best player for a player that will leave and go back to his parent club in 6 months
Jumping to a few conclusions there aren’t you? Still, it gives you something to complain about so no doubt makes you happy.
Shall we all agree to form a human chain at the entrance to the training ground tomorrow? Noone is allowed to leave until the window has closed?
