Sorry. "Why" was a response to your statement that some people would have to swallow a lot of pride. I didn't understand why they would have to or should. Football is football. Professional players live a world light years from normal working people. Why would he bother about some poor sod calling him a greedy bastard or whatever. It's just banter.
I'm not talking about him being bothered. I'm talking about people who have held a near decade long vendetta now having to cheer for him.
As others have said, he's an excellent signing (if he signs). If we keep Abel (and Abel is still up for it), no reason why their partnership couldn't bring 40 goals.
He was waiting for Sunderland, who had been sniffing, to formally make an offer. If I remember correctly their price was a lot lower than we offered.
In the state we are in as I said this morning he'd be decent signing, if he could bring Ledley with him then that's 2 good free signings. I still think Campbell has a bit to prove, other than his time here whenever I hear his name I just think sub. He's spent most of his career on a bench
If Campbell does sign does it dispel the notion that players don't want to sign for a basket case club? Cos I've got zero doubts he will already have and will expect further Championship offers.
Wahey, a centre back. Presumably we'd have to cough up a fee for him, he's contracted to Sparta Prague until 2020.
He's got decent pedigree. Maybe a lure for Kalas by signing a fellow Czech? Maybe Czech Mate? I'll get my coat.
