That said though, in my opinion he is absolutely ideal to play CH in a 3 - just like Hoban is.
He’s big, strong, quick & good in the air like all good CH’s but he’s also good with the ball at his feet & his distribution is excellent for playing out from the back - just like Hoban - which is what you need in a back 3. Taylor absolutely is not.
Those 2 plus Considine are a decent back 3 unit along with 2 good wing backs like Hayes & Kennedy. I’d rather upgrade Considine too but I can live with him in a 3 with the other 2.
Campbell is an excellent midfielder, bags of ability, great positional sense, he’s box to box and has the right mentality, attitude & desire. He’s easy as good as McCrorie in there and would work well in a 2 with Ferguson. I wouldn’t have Ferguson in a “10” role - leave that to Wright / Hedges / McGinn types.
We couldn’t utilise the 3 of them in centre midfield & none are wingbacks so allowing McCrorie to function in a strong ball playing back 3, with Campbell in the middle in the Shinnie type role alongside Ferguson would be a great option for us.We’d be getting the best from the 3 of them in a formation like that.
I’d love the opportunity to see that in action next season. Keep everyone we’ve got ( though I’d be happy if we could shift the likes of Ojo on if possible to make room in the squad) & maybe add a CH upgrade to play in the 3 - & if I’m greedy another striker - then I think that would be as strong a squad as we’ve had in years...
