Oh right you were serious. I didn't think you were hostile, I thought you had your tongue firmly planted in your cheek. Look, I've seen him play a grand total of two times so I'm realistic enough to know it's not enough to form a proper opinion of him. In fact, in both games he played a blinder and I was hugely impressed but this isn't to say it's how he normally plays. If you look at his last 3 seasons it's not until last season, in a p*ss poor Greek league, where he's finally started to show some form. I'm not saying he's not talented, I'm merely saying we shouldn't put all our hopes on him. He's only young so I'd rather bring in a quality, established player and gradually introduce Campbell to the Premier league. There are occasions where young players are thrown in the deep end and do brilliantly but they're in the minority. Most burn out and never live up to the hype, I'd rather he could.
A very reasonable stance to take on a player that hasn't played at a competitive level in a top domestic league. So far it's good signs but people shouldn't get too excited as he's currently playing in the Greek leagues and the Premiership is the hardest league to play in.
TBH I don't know if Wenger sees Campbell as a striker or a winger. Makes it difficult for me to decide what hopes to pin on him.
He'll be a wing forward - same as Theo is. He has the pace, hopefully a couple of tricks, and an eye for goal. He's what Arsenal need to give them counter attack threat alongside Theo & Ox.
Joel Campbell could just be the one to send England home. I personally hope he is pretty quiet in the next two games.
Sterling is a similar type of player, younger, and seems to have done well. I think Campbell will be fine in the EPL. As long as he's not overplayed he shouldn't burn out. I think he'll be a great addition to the squad.
