On-loan striker DJ Campbell says he doesn’t yet know what effect Harry Redknapp’s appointment as manager of his parent club QPR might have on his own future. The 31-year-old is with the Blues until January 5th with the Premier League’s table-proppers currently short of strikers.
Campbell has said he would be interested in joining Town on a permanent basis, although not another loan, while manager Mick McCarthy has said he'd be interested in doing a deal.
The striker said: "I don’t yet, we will have to wait and see what happens in January.
"I’m on loan to Ipswich, so in a way I’m in a difficult position. I will have to look at everything and see what is best for me and my family.”
The striker was left out of QPR’s 25-man squad in August but will be available to them on his return with the January transfer window having opened.
Rangers named only three strikers in their 25 — Djibril Cisse, Andy Johnson and Bobby Zamora — with the latter pair currently injured.
Campbell, a QPR fan while growing up, feels Redknapp is the right appointment for the West Londoners: "Harry has done a lot in the game.
"He is a massive name who only just missed out on the England job, so he will do very well at QPR.”
Saturday’s penalty was Campbell’s fifth goal in nine games for Town but he believes he ought to have added his sixth: "I should have had another one, I was inches away and if I had got that we may have won the game.
"I just want to score goals and do well for Ipswich while I’m on loan. We have a great set of lads and a great gaffer, so I just want to do my best for them.”
