"Consequently the club has been given permission to begin talks."

The fee is thought to be around £6 million.

England U21 international Campbell made a big impact at Hull during the 2007-08 season, helping them to promotion to the Premier League while on loan from United.

  2. elnino and cameron w -Once again you glory in your­ ignorance of football. Likely you have never seen­ Campbell play but I know a big club will be signing him­ in a year or so at huge profit to Hull City. Great­ signing for the Tigers. If Bullard ever gets fit, it is­ this kind of player that can help us maintain Premier­ League status.

    Come on you ULLLLLLLLLLLLLL

  3. How can anyone say he is a Championship player when he­ is under contract to ManU , played for Tottenham las­ season and if he signs for Hull, a club he help gain­ promotion, will still be in the EPL!

  6. I think Fraizer is a huge potential but i believe we­ have some other young strikers. Hope we don't go­ looking for this guy in future with big money though.

  10. Shame for the lad not to be given a chance at United.­ He was doing not too badly at Spurs until Redknapp came­ in - he never gave him any games. If he'd have had­ the games, I'm sure he would have impressed and­ possibly given a chance here next season.

    Looks like­ SAF rates Welbeck and Macheda over him, though. Hope he­ does well at Hull, I know the fans there love him.

    The smart money will be on him getting no goals­ whatsover as Hull slide out of the Prem with the lowest­ points total ever.

    ''4­ world-class goalkeepers''?? What­ league are you watching?

    From Half A Brain, on Mon 8 Jun 1:45AM

  18. Manchester United are losing out on one of the best­ strikers in the world here. Their manager, Ally McCoist­ must be going mad in his old age. If he buys Michael­ Owen from relegated Middlesbrough on a cut-deal it­ would make sense but they've already got 4­ world-class goalkeepers already. He'll have to­ offload Nigel Spink or Ian Walker but I'm not sure­ if any premier league teams could afford the hefty­ price tag. I feel this transfer could be a terrible­ "own-goal" for Utd.

  19. good player very welcome addition still need some­ better defenders midfielders and goaly lol or n another­ striker torres would b nice
