Skirge Posted August 16, 2009 Share Posted August 16, 2009 Campbell in to replace Bassong, we got shot of Colo for Sol would be crazy, Sol is injured a lot so won't play that many games. His contract could be pay as play or if he wanted to much we would not sign him, so no worries over huge wage demands as we would not pay it. He may be slow but he was never was fast anyway, its his reading of the game that made him a top CB, our defenders could learn so much from him.

macca888 Posted August 16, 2009 Share Posted August 16, 2009 I was more or less looking at what options the club may have for a manager other than Shearer or Kinnear. Sol--------Close to retirement, former international, has connections to the area, looking to start a career in management..........Ashley possibly using former Spuds connections, sounded out Sol...............has been done before...........Keegan, Souness, Dalglish, Gullitt, Viali, Adams etc etc etc Anyway, just looking at possibilities, nothing else really Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LucaAltieri Posted August 16, 2009 Share Posted August 16, 2009 Sol Campbell is a clumsy old donkey. He might be able to get by in the championship... but only until we meet a team with pace up front. Hang on to Taylor. He's quick, he's physical, he gets froward, and he plays his heart out for the shirt. He's the kind of player we want here long term. Sol Campbell would have been good on a free 2 or 3 years ago. I wouldn't touch him now, not even in the championship. What a load of bollocks, clearly don't have a f***ing clue Taylor = quick :lol: :lol: One of the quickest players we have. Both in reactions and in an out-and-out sprint. Of course he isn't Usain Bolt but that's not the point I was making. Are you suggesting his pace is only on par with Sol Campbell?

Guest dover Posted August 16, 2009 Share Posted August 16, 2009 Sol Campbell is a proven international CB, we need someone with his experience, professionalism and leadership qualities in our squad, a good replacement for Beye`s experience, will bring S.Taylor on and maybe even remove some pressure from collo, can see a no lose on this signing Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dokko Posted August 16, 2009 Share Posted August 16, 2009 Sol Campbell would walk this league, its incredible people are turning their noses up at him with the options we've got at the back. He hasn't got the pace of yesteryear, but fuk me, have you seen the average pace and or technical skill in this division? He's mentally 2 yards ahead of 90% of the strikers in this league down to his ability alone and at the physical speed of half of them anyway. As long as he's not asking the earth, which i doubt he is if were being linked with him due to us trying to reduce the wage bill, then getting Sol in would be a great capture. I'd also like to think if this about his lass being from up here is true it might mean he wants to settle in the area and is ready to take a hit on the wages and could also prove a good capture on the coaching side of things, if not now but later. Have we ever had someone as good at Sol at his peak teaching defenders a thing or two about the finer points of defensive duties? What Taylor has been crying out for his entire career.

Spot on, word for word. I have to say I'll still be surprised if there's truth in this due to my perception of his wage demands, but if he's willing to be sensible then fair enough.

STM Posted August 16, 2009 Share Posted August 16, 2009 Well above the standard of the championship, even if he isn't what he used to be. In fact he's probably above the standard of us at the moment. I can imagine a few prem clubs will have been sniffing around, were just lucky his lass is from up here. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great post - 100% in agreement. Fair point! If you see it that way I can agree with you. However, when as the last time Newcastle actually brought someone along to tutor? ..And then add them to the coaching side? He'd be an OK backup if he agrees a hit on the wages, other than that I think we should concentrate on getting youngsters Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
