Neil86 Posted August 29, 2023 Share Posted August 29, 2023 Allan campbell not even in the squad for Luton tonight, and no sign of him injured. Luton fans seem puzzled and reckon he will be off. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YassinMoutaouakil Posted August 29, 2023 Share Posted August 29, 2023 Is SOD really any worse at LB than RB? I've not really seen much this season but I've always felt his issue is playing in a 3/5 or a 4 rather than what side he's on weirdly. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you dont ask, you dont get! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luton fans seem puzzled and reckon he will be off. From my limited following of his progression since he left, it seemed to me he started really well but became less used towards the end of last season. Perhaps he's viewed as not quite Premier League level, rather a solid mid-table Championship midfielder, which is still a very lucrative place to be and by my own reckoning, probably about right for the wee man. Love him to bits but think Premier League regular might just be a wee bit of a stretch. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably out of their budget range on wages, but if he wants to get back in the Scotland squad, 6 European group stage games would do the world of good on that front. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandomGuy. Posted August 29, 2023 Share Posted August 29, 2023 I follow a Luton fan account on Twitter, and based of their replies, Campbells not fancied by their new (hired last November) manager, who wants to move away from a high intensity pressing game and try and become more possession based. Campbells apparently seen as a poor fit for the new style. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking more Celtic or Rangers if he was to end up here, as opposed to anyone. There was also a few championship clubs supporters hoping they would get him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capt_oats Posted August 29, 2023 Share Posted August 29, 2023 (edited) Shite for him if he never gets to set foot on the park in the Barclays but having watched Luton a couple of times since they've been promoted it looks like it's going to be an entirely grim season of getting leathered week in week out. Anyway I noticed a post this evening on Luton's (terribly formatted) forum suggesting he was away to Leeds.

wellboy1991 Posted August 29, 2023 Share Posted August 29, 2023 I’ve got a few Luton supporting mates. According to them the manager has a thing that all players have to be 6ft plus. Wee Al doesn’t fit the bill physically. They are honest enough to state he isn’t good enough for the EPL but neither is half their squad. He is well out the picture which has frustrated a few of them. Hopefully he gets a good move. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s not just the wages though eh? He’s still under contract and I’d imagine he’d be an attractive pick-up for plenty of Championship level clubs. I’d be surprised if Luton were just going to give him away like. To that point…we’ve a sell on as part of our deal with Luton right? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swello Posted August 29, 2023 Share Posted August 29, 2023 I wonder if as well as not fitting their new manager's style if they would be due us a bung if he plays in the EPL? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In a similar thought, if this were to be the case (and it's clearly speculative) they'd not owe us anything either. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valid point Swello. I guess it all depends on the wording assuming there is even a promotion type clause. It could say if he plays in the Premiership or if Luton are promoted to the Premiership or indeed neither. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Brightside Posted August 30, 2023 Share Posted August 30, 2023 Allan Campbell doesn't deserve to be anywhere near the future "worst EPL season of all time", however, I'm not sure that jumping into the absolute bin fire that is Leeds would be any better. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
For Your Pies Only Posted August 30, 2023 Share Posted August 30, 2023 Having seen a fair bit of Luton' s season last year, it's clear Edwards has a very different approach and doesn't value Campbell. Big drop off in game time after he took over. It seems to be a playing style thing rather than personal. The mad thing to me is that a pressing midfielder, a Kante-type disruptor, is what they have been crying out for in the first two games. They are not going to have the chance to play a possession game against EPL opposition with their resources. Campbell is superbly suited to that pressing role, but instead he'd rather have Tahith Chong and Barkley stroll about ball watching it would seem. I'm obviously biased but it's a weird one as an outsider looking in. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
