Redknapp: I Wish DJ Was Here - Ipswich Town News

QPR manager Harry Redknapp says he wishes striker DJ Campbell was at Loftus Road and not on loan with the Blues. The 31-year-old, whose spell is up on January 5th, has scored eight goals in 12 games for Town.

Redknapp says he's yet to speak to anyone regarding Campbell's future but suggests the striker won't be available for sale on his return to West London: "DJ has done very well for Ipswich.

"I wish he was here now, he'd be very useful for us. He's an enthusiastic player who gives everything, which is what you need."

QPR are currently short of options up front with Andy Johnson and Bobby Zamora both injured. Campbell was left out of the 25-man squad named in August, making him ineligible until the next transfer window.

Town boss Mick McCarthy has said he wants sign Campbell on a permanent basis but is yet to hold talks with his QPR counterpart.

The player himself, whose contract is up at the end of the season, has said he is looking for a permanent move if he isn't in QPR's plans rather than an extension to his loan.
