What are they saying, they understand or it's a done deal?

From the SSN site:

16.12 Sol Campbell is to play for Arsenal's reserves tonight at West Ham and Sky Sports News understands he is on the brink on signing a deal until the end of the season.

Can we do worse than Tweety?

Surely signing Sol, will kill Silvestre....... (In that case it's a good deal)

Just saw the SSN report, it looks pretty much like he's back - the website just screwed up the reporting of it

Again, not entirely sure what to make of it. But i'll give the guy a chance, see what he's like these days. I hope it works out well, it can't hurt to have an older head & some wise words in the dressing room surely...

"Double, double, double..."

i really do think hes needed..Good luck sol.

could be that the VERMINATOR will move into midfield?

Really do not know what to make of this one.

As cover fo TV and WG, he can't be worse than Silvestre but my minds clouded by him going awol against the spammers in 06' season.

If he does come, I hope it's the rock solid no nonsense head screwed on Campbell, if not f'off to Newcastle or Hull or some other shit hole club who's predicament I couldn't give 2 monkeys about.
Actually that's a lie, I do care what happens to Hull....f'off back to the fizzy pop league with the Tango Man

This is a sad and desperate attempt by Wenger to shore up his leaking defence and under strength squad.
Campbell's game was based predominately on his pace, which he had lost long before he left us. His shocking display in the defeat by West Ham was Stepanov-like, and the amateur dramatics that followed would make Gallas' birmingham performance look like that of an extra from neighbours.
This signing is a massive mistake, and can only end in farce, like his departure fron Notts County.
