Malaysian Gooner

As I predicted in my previous post, Sol Campbell is all set to return to Arsenal on a 6 month deal and will replace Philippe Senderos who is set to leave the club in search of first-team football. As I stated before, the signing of Sol can do nothing but good for Arsenal as the contract is only short term.

Gooners can be happy that over the hill in footballing terms only means you lose your pace and maybe a bit of fitness, but not height or heading ability. Arsenal fans have been crying out for a big centre half and Campbell centainly offers more in the air than Senderos who will all remember for losing out to Drogba constantly when dealing with high balls. Campbell will provide very good backup for Gallas and Vermaelen and will provide a bit of variation in times of need. Hey, if Citeh can sign Vieira and the Spuds can sign Flamini, there’s no reason why we can’t sign Campbell right?

Sol will be playing for a contract and that will only work to our advantage. His last contribution for the club? The opening yet ultimately losing goal in the Champions League final. Sol will give the club a lift, especially the British players who could use some experience around them.

Feel free to give your opinions on Sol’s return in the comments section below.
