Not sure if it's been mentioned but just read that Sol Campbell is available on a free.

Why not pick him up to be our 4th CB ... Cheap, experienced ...
 
4th centre back should either be one of the kids or as you say mega experienced, can come in and do a job old timer for next to nothing.

although if we bought a long term carra replacement for 6 million now rather than 20 in 2 seasons i'm happy to think long term here.

i think there's a deal yet to be made here with a player exchange or loan to offest what hull want.

Give the lad a chance.
 
campbell is a great shout, offer him big wages for a month contract and we have nothign to lose and everything to gain.

Trezeguet might also be a interesting and cheap option as a back=up striker.

A one month contract ? Are you sure you meant to say that ? Which player in his right mind would take a one month contract !

But, but, BIG wages.
 
While I normally would like to see one of the kids step up and get worked into the team, relying on a youngster to fill a spot at the back while we're already depleted in midfield for the first month or two is suicide. Campbell wouldn't be a bad pickup with this in mind. The problem with getting someone like Turner is finding games for everyone once (if?!?!) Skrtel, Agger, and Carra are all healthy.

Michel Salgado is available on a free and he is Spanish after all.

He's a RB.

£8m ish? Raw but all the tools are there so he could end up being a snip.

He was Newcastle's player of the year (I realise that doesn't mean much), my mate who is a Newcastle fan rates quite highly.
 
Bassong went for 8 mill. Stood out in a horrible Newcastle defence. Has all the tools to become a good centre back, but still very raw and error prone. He'll probably play a fair bit this year with all the injuries they have.
 
rumours have it he is going to Notts County to join Sven...


so wages probably would not be the problem...

Newcastle United?

More like Man.
 
I read the rumours about him signing for Newcastle.
Evans and O'Shea are only out until Jan and Sol can't play for anyone before then so it seems a bit far fetched, unless of course Rio Ferdinand is as fucked as they say he is.
 
Threads like this just show how far this club has fallen, even during the days of of moores we weren't talking about free has beens. The sooner those twats leave the better. Moores is just as culpable. Cunts. What happend to snoop doggy dog is avaliable... do you reckon we will get him!

100% fkcing emaressment, regardless of current form, what these two offer to the club I fail to see.
 
what are you on about RedShrek? Sol Campbell as a 4th CB shows nothing, considering the Mancs want him for the SAME ROLE. Sheesh, get a grip. The club hasn't fallen anywhere because of two poor months of form. Moshe wept.

I am not talking about poor form, i am talking about the fans now having to talk about players that are at the bottom of bargain basement. I seen a thread yesterday talking about James Beattie. This isn't the fans fault its just a realisation that these are the only types of players we cam afford now and its very fucking sad.
