Campbell isnt that much younger than Canna, and for the price we are talking about we could have easily landed Mexes or Ferrari or even both. It is just ridiculous and Moggi should be shot if he makes such a deal. Firstly, Campbell isnt exactly youngest player on the pitch, and I doubt he would be here for no more than 2 years. To spend 7m on him + Appiah would be just nuts. Secondly, Campbell isnt exactly the type of defender we need. It is not only vital to get a defender, but also one that fits into the team. Right now we have Thuram, Zebina, Legro, Iluliano as stoppers, and Moggi wants to add another one?
Thirdly, Campbell is english. Not only they have a bad record, but even without such prejudice which I dont have in this case, he needs to adjust to difference in lifestyle, new people, houses, food and languages. It is not easy to settle in another country which might affect player's performance. At Campbell's age, he cant afford to have one bad season if we are to recover cost.
And lastly, what is so great about Campbell? He is very good defender in terms of physical ability but one who lacks tactical awareness and even more prone to give away fouls than Walter Samuel.
Hell, I am not so keen on Canna considering he has been off-form for last two years but I would still take him over Campbell, and for the quoted price range it would be no brainer.
We might as well try Fabricio Coloccini.
