Brum sign the DJ

Birmingham have completed the signing of Brentford Town F.A Cup hero DJ Campbell for an initial fee of £500,000 which could rise to as much as £1million. Campbell shot to prominence after scoring the goals that knocked Sunderland out of the FA Cup on Saturday and he has now secured a dream move to The Premiership by agreeing a three-and-a-half-year contract with Blues.


Campbell moves to St Andrews after Steve Bruce's side agreed an initial fee of £500,000 with League One Brentford.The deal may rise to £1 million dependent on appearances and Bees boss Martin Allen can at least console himself with the significant cash windfall.

This transfer is a big big surprise to me because all I have seen Campbell do is score two goals in the F.A Cup and they were only against Sunderland. I think that £1million is a bit much for a player that was only playing non league football last year for Yeading but I do wish him all the best at St. Andrews.
