jamiemaher85 Posted July 15, 2007 Report Share Posted July 15, 2007 A few news papers have reported that we have made a move for Sol Campbell. Maybe after Wiers departure Stubbs needs some older company. Can't see any truth in this one but thought id post it as it made the papers.... not that means much though. The Sun is claiming the Barcodes made a move for Ronaldinho. Funny stuff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adam Posted July 15, 2007 Report Share Posted July 15, 2007 No thank you not for me. See that Sky Sports are saying we failed in a move for Simic again so looks like DM is looking for another defender with maybe planning on playing Lesscott at Left back next season Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J*A*C*K*E*L*Z Posted July 15, 2007 Report Share Posted July 15, 2007 have you seen sol campbells wages pethetic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyhouse Posted July 15, 2007 Report Share Posted July 15, 2007 How much for campbell? His wages are always reported to be huge. Didnt realise he was only 32. would be a good addition if he was a free. Bit slow now though, but the experience would be priceless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RuffRob Posted July 15, 2007 Report Share Posted July 15, 2007 Sol Cambell is still a cracking defender - and at 32 has a good couple or 3 years left in him. £1m is bugger all for him to be honest - a token payment these days - We will be glad of such a player if Yobo goes to the african nations cup - OK Sol is not one for the future, but not every single buy can be an investment for the future, and in the main most of Moyes buys are young so the odd one isn't a problem for me. As somebody said, would have thougth Cambell would command a massive wage - Still a cracking defender who knows his trade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heather_6 Posted July 15, 2007 Report Share Posted July 15, 2007 yeah a million and I'd take him but anymore he can bugger off- tbh we don't really need him and why would he leave pompey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue4Ever Posted July 15, 2007 Report Share Posted July 15, 2007 Sol would be a quality signing, he lacks pace but everything else he has makes up for it. The stumbling block would be his wages. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aaron Posted July 15, 2007 Report Share Posted July 15, 2007 I dont know, had a decent season with primus as his counter-part. With Joey off to ACN then i think he would provide good cover yes. And people talk of too old, you go young its gunna cost more, yes you might get more season out of them but are you willing to pay £4- 6 mil? Which i doubt we have that amount to spend on one player.

RuffRob Posted July 16, 2007 Report Share Posted July 16, 2007 I would love to see a player like Sol Campbell come to the club - A classy defender, very experienced player at the very highest level - Pace is not everything in a centre half, not when you have the talent and experience of Campbell. Teams found Everton a decent defence last year - Campbell would only make us a better defence. OK no sell on value - but at around a £1M that's nothing, he could still be a top defender until he is 36 or so - so plenty of play left in him. As long as something can be sorted wages wise then he would definately improve the squad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mac Posted July 16, 2007 Report Share Posted July 16, 2007 I would welcome the lad at Goodison, but again it comes back to his wage demands and causing unrest off field. Stacks of European experience which would help massively. ATB Mac Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
