TWTD understands that Town are hopeful of securing the loan signing of QPR striker DJ Campbell on loan on Friday and in time for Saturday’s live home Sky game against Cardiff City (KO 5.20pm). The deal to sign Southend centre-half Bilel Mohsni, who TWTD revealed had returned on trial earlier today, is further from completion, despite the Frenchman’s hopes that he would sign a three-month loan tomorrow.

As reported a week ago, Town wanted to sign 30-year-old Campbell ahead of the Barnsley game as cover for the injured Paul Taylor and then-sidelined Michael Chopra, but they were rebuffed with a switch to the much-travelled frontman’s former club Blackpool having been on the cards.

But with little progress on that deal, the Blues renewed their interest and the Hammersmith-born striker looks set to put pen to paper at Portman Road on Friday.

While Mohsni has said he is keen to join Town on a three-month loan, almost certainly with a view to a permanent switch in January, we understand that the clubs are yet to agree terms regarding the move and the Frenchman appears unlikely to be signed in time for Saturday.

hairbear added 23:52 - Oct 4 Its not that Campbell is a bad player but say he comes in scores a couple of goals, we can't afford to buy him in Jan. QPR pay big wages we'd be back square one again and the players left out for him will be unmotivated and lacking confidence. Its the same old short sighted policy that PJ has employed since day one! JEWELL OUT!!!

WarkyWonderLand added 01:07 - Oct 5 All these loan players are totally the opposite of which Mr Jewell said he would do. If he signs and plays on Saturday we could have him, higginbottom, ndaw,.lunago, Murphy which is 50% of team. In Jewell we have no trust. We need to keep stop papering over these cracks and have a proper plan.

Bob7881 added 07:25 - Oct 5 Campbell is one of the better players Town have been linked with recently. While he can score goals he dosent seem to settle any where why?. I look forward to outcome of the Chopra situation, im sure that one will divide the suppoeters. Apart from administration this has to be the bleakest period the club has been through in its history. I think we can all forget the John Duncan years now.

PimsNumber1 added 09:11 - Oct 5 mOSHNI CAN PLAY cb but its unlikely he will dislodge higgin and chambers though so will be back up for them and maybe used elsewhere in the team as it appears he is a bit of a utility player ( hopefully better than poor old Jaime )

Churchmanschild added 09:29 - Oct 5 Both would be good signings, but what's the chances of both falling through at the last minute?............................pretty high I'd say.

DanLyles added 09:50 - Oct 5 How can anybody on here not think DJ Campbell would be a good signing?!!! I wish people would do their research or engage their brains before posting. Has DJ Campbell been prolific every season he has played? No. But the only players that have been are way out of our league/budget. However in the Prem at Blackpool he did score 13 in 31 games!!! In the Championship for Blackpool he has in total scored 20 in 38 games!!! For some reason it didn't work out for him at Leicester and he had very limited opportunities at QPR. I know we need some height up front from Murphy but when Taylor is back the prospect of him, Chops and DJ Campbell up front together is mouthwatering!!!
