Transcript

00:00george campbell's come in i've been spending the best part of 1.5 million on him uh okay

00:04center half play right back so my question to you coxie is is he coming in as a potential

00:10darnell furlong replacement or been spending one and a half million pounds on a backup center out

00:17good question i wish i knew the answer um in your yeah yeah no no no no happily i say speaking to

00:26someone later from canada who will be able to help me have a much better answer on this but i

00:32look if he and again no disrespect to donald furlong who's been a solid player for albin for

00:39a long time and can continue to be certainly i think if he's pushed but if he is replacement

00:45replacement slash competition i think that's a boost and a massive benefit as well the unknown

00:52johnny i think is at the moment how much of a right back is he you know is he a center back

00:56that can play right back you know doesn't really sort of attack like an attacking right back we

01:02hear he can bring the ball out don't we as a center half he's sort of you know someone who's comfortable

01:07in possession type thing but that doesn't automatically to me translate into an attack

01:11minded right back a right back who can get forward now maybe darnell furlong isn't the most attack

01:16minded right back out there but he's you know he's not afraid of getting up and down the line

01:20is he in support fellows or whatever so i just you know look at um look at someone like a mason

01:26holgate who was a center back and a right back or paddy mcnair we never saw of albin but the word

01:32was he could cover on the right as well you know heggam center back could cover on the left actually

01:37did really well on the left but not an attacking left back by by nature naturally so what is george

01:43campbell i i suppose it will my reading of it at the moment is that he'll just be able to to

01:49fill in if needed i think that's how i see it i don't think that he'll necessarily be

01:56in as a first choice right back i don't i i'll be happy to be wrong on that um but it surprised me

02:03at the moment i don't i don't think furlong had the best day up in blackpool did it really um by

02:07the way um just a few players in a similar position really uh but it's it's it's a positive

02:14i think that there's a player in that position that can at least push him
