Well he went to League 2 on £40,000 a week - so for him to come to the Championship he will want at least £40,000 - probably more!! My bet is that he will end up somewhere like Stoke, Hull, Bolton, Fulham or maybe even Everton. I doubt he will go anywhere other than the Premier League because there is no club stupid (or rich enough) to afford those kind of wages in the Championship or Leagues 1 and 2 (other than Notts County - and that hasnt worked out very well has it!!!) To be perfectly honest, I think that Sol Campbell has had his day - he is just looking for an easy pay off for his last couple of years as a footballer. The effort just wont be there wherever he ends up, and for that reason (as they say on Dragons Den).... Im out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Esmond Million's Bung Posted September 23, 2009 Report Share Posted September 23, 2009 Last season he was dreadful, but never in the wrong, always blamed somebody else, totally over blown ego. Absolutely not, would be a total waste of money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redredrobin21 Posted September 23, 2009 Report Share Posted September 23, 2009 I'm gonna stick my neck out here and say that he's not that greedy at all - if he is then why is he not just staying put at County? There was clearly another reason and it wouldn't surprise me if he's had enough with football full stop and has decided to retire. On a vaguely related note, Ben Davies of Notts seems to think they're in with a shout of signing Roberto Carlos according to a column he writes. Probably a load of rubbish but i'd sooner have Carlos than Campbell - that'd give us more width!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Belfastcityfan Posted September 23, 2009 Report Share Posted September 23, 2009 I have to laugh!! If it was announced on the OS tomorrow that City signed Sol Campbell, I doubt there would be many on here that would complain! A fit Sol Campbell would walk into our defence, even at 35!

Eddie Hitler Posted September 23, 2009 Report Share Posted September 23, 2009 He could do a job in the prem still. We would have no chance of getting him in. He just looks a bit gullible having been taken in by all the Notts County flannel, and then finding out what the reality is on the pitch. Fourth division pub football. This Notts County stuff looks as though it could be about to implode through the takeover being blocked; this will leave Sven high and dry. Which would be nice.

cinker Posted September 23, 2009 Report Share Posted September 23, 2009 on the highlights of the only game he played for notts co, he looked totally lost! Yes. But at Prem level everything relies on the players around you, how good they are and how they make one look good. For example, Beckham isnt setting the world alight over here yet he got rave reviews in Italy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

westy Posted September 23, 2009 Report Share Posted September 23, 2009 what a numpty - a £10m deal at his age is amazing and also a chance to steer a club to the top and probably become a key person within the club, what a shortsighted to$$pot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northern Red Posted September 23, 2009 Report Share Posted September 23, 2009 I'd be careful criticising Sol if I were you. He does get a bit sensitive about it, and you wouldn't want the police involved now, would you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really really don't think he would. He was really bad last season in a very poor Portsmouth side. He's not a Premier League player any more and I do like the guy. £40k per week aside he's not better than what we have and on the highlights he did look totally and utterly lost against, err...Morecambe!

Let's not forget he was short of match practice/fitness, regardless of who he was playing against. Sol Campbell has been an awesome professional for many years 77 caps for his country, won FA Cups, League cups and Premier League titles! Just because the guy has a below par season with relegation threatened side, doesn't make him a bad player. He could still cut quite easily in the Championship should he regain fitness. You don't believe we have better, we find it hard to see games out, and have found it hard over the past season to defend for the full 90 odd minutes. I'm not saying I want us to go get him, but if we did I wouldn't complain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
