Campbell is better than nothing. whoelse are we rumoured to as centre backs?? only Cannavaro, and he is 31 years of age anyway. almost two years older than campbell.

Campbell provides the defence with strength and height, and he is world class. along thuram, its a very good central pairing. Whether its Cannavaro or Campbell, they are both good. who knows, maybe both can join.

we should be lucky if we sign campbell. it is no coincidence or fluke that arsenal went unbeaten for a whole season with an average goalkeeper.

Someone mentioned earlier that Campbell is a careless tackler and is prone to yellow cards. 35 games 2 yellow cards and one red. i beg to differ.

43 fouls over 35 games. thats approximately 6 fouls every 5 games or 1.28 fouls per game. that doesnt sound too bad.

Fair enough, but you didn't really answer my question ;) Maybe he just doesn't go for enough challenges :)

i watched alot of arsenal last season. what i like about campbell, is that he uses alot of his body to take down the opposing player without commiting a foul. he uses his size as a great advantage. i think playing under Wenger is a great advantage too.

the ratio is 2:1. as long as these fouls are not resulting in yellow cards or goal threatining situations, then foul till the cows come home.

has anyone ever watched arsenal and sol???

they jus finished the season unbeaten, which is something astounding for the crash bang whallop league.

their top defender, sol, is a sure reason why they didnt loose a game, he made them rock solid at the back....there is no way u can doubt his technical ability as a defender, so in a footballing term, he woul dbe great.

Financially , he wouldnt.

Holy shyte man, if this is Juve's idea of saving the club - Buying sol campbell - I'd die of shock. Sol Campbell ? How stupid can we get ? He's not what we need, hell he's not even half the decent player Montero/Ferrara/Thuram/ourcurrentdefenders were(are). Let this not happen. PLEASE.

sal, dont be biased, please.....sol deserves far more respect than that.....he is far and away better than all of theseguys put together right now....lilian and monty were amazing, but right now are a shadow of themselves, and lilian is one of my all time favs.

If only we had paid the peanuts' worth of van Buyten.........I'll try to stop beating it on the head but I'm fvckin bitter. :irritate:

Hopefully Zebina and Legro step up and prove they're good enough for the job.
