Joel Campbell to go on loan

[DB10GOONER]

Well I don't rate any of our strikers.

Harsh. But fair.

[1989]

I just look at this lad and he seems to have some attributes that we are missing upfront, i.e. pace, movement, guile, finishing, dribbling skills.

He's also the only striker on the club's books that has scored against Manure.

[northbank123]

I'll be honest, having been blessed with the striker that propelled Montpellier to glory that season I don't regard scoring a goal against them as worthy or indicative of anything. Shows how dog shit that league is/was.

[clockender1]

imho he's a squad player at most right now - but i can't fathom why he isn't in our squad.

a nice option to have off the bench surely ?

watching the vids he seems more like Ox than anyone else.

Was apparently only sub for Olympiakos at the weekend, so unless he had a knock, why are they not playing him from the off ?

Paulo Wanchpe on Campbell:

"I had a few calls from England when Joel scored against Manchester United,” Wanchope said. “It was special for him, he will be a good player. That’s why Arsenal bought him.

“Of course my life changed after the United goal. When I first came to England, everyone was saying ‘Costa Rica, do they play football? Baseball or basketball?’ After that, everyone was talking about Paulo Wanchope and the goal, and every game after that the defenders were different. It’s normal.

“It put Costa Rica on the map in England. That’s the greatest thing about football. People don’t say Paolo Wanchope any more, they say first Costa Rica. It’s the same with Campbell against Man United, they said Costa Rica and Campbell in the same sentence.

“People will expect even more from him now he scored against United, he is doing well and people will expect more when he comes back to Arsenal. That goal will make sure England know about him.

“But he’s a great talent, he is someone who can do something different in the game. When we need someone to break down the defensive players, he is someone who can really do great things for Costa Rica.”

Ah right... his mate Paolo "Achingly Average" Wanchope recommends him. That's that sorted then.

Achingly average? If Campbell turns out to be half the player wanchope was....


Then he'll still be a slight improvement on sanogo

Stop. He was average as fuck.

Which still means he'll be well on course to be better than Sanogo

I've just laid a massive coil that has a better first touch than Sanogo. Although quite how that works is both mystifying and wrong on several levels.

Harsh. But "regular" at least.

Or was it rock hard? Like laying steel cable. Or kinda soft? Like pushing raw sausage meat through a funnel.
