Dr Kenneth Noisewater 0 Posted August 15, 2009 Share Posted August 15, 2009 Campbell claim Watching Newcastle's home victory on Saturday evening from the Milburn stand was defender Sol Campbell. The 34 year-old free agent signed autographs for supporters and said that he was hopeful of securing a playing contract at the Magpies over the coming days.

Papa Lazaru 0 Posted August 15, 2009 Share Posted August 15, 2009 I don't know what state he's in these days fitness wise, but surely you'd think the guy would be a class signing in the championship to help guide what could be some young defenders depending on who gets sold. As i say i don't know what his current level is, but i'd be happy with him coming in if its true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Kenneth Noisewater 0 Posted August 15, 2009 Author Share Posted August 15, 2009 "He's past it"© Glenn Roeder 2006 Another body is welcome, he obviously has loads of experience but what's he got left in the tank? And is this a signal that Taylor might be on his way? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hostile_statue 0 Posted August 15, 2009 Share Posted August 15, 2009 Means that S. Taylor is on his way??? Or Colo, hopefully... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craig 6306 Posted August 15, 2009 Share Posted August 15, 2009 He's solid as a rock.. be an absolutely brilliant signing. Well surprised he's not off to a Premiership club tbh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMoog 0 Posted August 15, 2009 Share Posted August 15, 2009 Interesting, if we could get him he'd be easily good enough for the Championship and at 34 would probably be up for a solid push in to any promotion charge. Wonder if he still scores the odd goal too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ayatollah Hermione 12767 Posted August 15, 2009 Share Posted August 15, 2009 Was just wondering why no team had snapped him up yet and I'd definately take him. Hopefully he adds some needed depth and quality to the backline rather than replaces an outbound player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheMoog 0 Posted August 15, 2009 Share Posted August 15, 2009 Well surprised he's not off to a Premiership club tbh. Hull are supposed to be after him too. Thinking about it though he's not going to be playing to get back in to an international team, the money would likely be around the same - where would you rather go? In a shit team in the Prem where you might struggle or a bigger team in the Championship and look awesome? The dude's at the back end of his career, I know which I'd choose.

I agree actually and with regards to HSs post, its foolish to wish players we have away because of potential signings, even if we bring in campbell we'll still be short on cover Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

khay 8 Posted August 15, 2009 Share Posted August 15, 2009 Cant say I remember much of him last season. But think he would be an all right deal. Just need a left back and some wingers please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deano 0 Posted August 15, 2009 Share Posted August 15, 2009 Would be a great signing fit or not fit. His experience would be of massive value in the squad no less to the likes of taylor (who i think will stay) and more so the young lads kadar, tozer and morris.

Chaser 1054 Posted August 15, 2009 Share Posted August 15, 2009 Player/Coach role could bring the young players on a great deal. Still seems to indicate that we are looking to get rid of another of our players in Saylor or Colo in the coming days. Its not a replacement as much of a stop gap.

ewerk 26343 Posted August 16, 2009 Share Posted August 16, 2009 Funny that the Sky cameras didn't pick up on such an obvious figure in the crowd. If true then it's great, I still have my doubts as to whether it is true though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest alex Posted August 16, 2009 Share Posted August 16, 2009 We're crying out for a big, strong CB imo, whether Taylor goes or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norbert Colon 0 Posted August 16, 2009 Share Posted August 16, 2009 We're crying out for a big, strong CB imo, whether Taylor goes or not. Would have been great to have Taylor and Campbell together - still maintain if Roeder hadn't been such a fuckwit we would have won the uefa that year if he had signed Campbell when he wanted to come. I don't think deteriating pace should be too much of an issue in this league either Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
