Money, nothing else to say.

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm, don't know what to think about­ this one. It is tricky. In a way i do agree with 7th­ Heaven, maybe give him a trial. I'd only have him­ here till the end of the season though to see how he­ performs. But his age puts me off. But i think SCOTT is­ spot on, i have been saying for years i wish we'd­ invest in young hungry talent. I don't mind older­ experienced, or the odd expensive brilliant player of­ the moment as both have the ability to inspire the­ younger lads coming through the ranks.
I'd rather­ we build up a good strong squad before we venture back­ into the prem. At the way things are we would struggle­ with immediate promotion. Maybe am wrong or looking at­ it negatively but it's just how i feel looking at­ our performances of late.

I RECKONS EED DO US A GOODUN

Sorry 7th Heaven, not good enough reasons for me. I­ just see him as another Owen-like leech.

Looking at the comments below there seems to be a mixed­ reaction to Sol Campbell coming to the Toon which is­ understandable given the bad press he has had lately.­ Having watched a lot of games this season the standard­ of football in the Championship is poor compared to the­ Premiership and a massive gulf exists between the two­ leagues. Remember the team we have now has changed only­ very slightly in terms of new recruits,however we have­ lost a lot of so called quality players and we are top­ of the league, that speaks volumes as to how poor this­ league actually is. There are few players in­ United's squad who would get a start in a­ Premiership team and I think Campbell would be a good­ signing on a pay as you play basis given his age and­ experience at the top level. If he proves his worth­ then give him a 12 month rolling contract. Campbell­ would bring stability to our defence and help us when­ we do return to the Premiership next season. One other­ reason that Campbell wants to play for the Toon is that­ he has just purchased a country mansion near Ponteland­ and his girlfreind is a Geordie !!

Another joke in the Ashley pantomone - seems that apart­ from lining his pockets Campbell has an addiction clubs­ who play in black and white first Notts County, then W­ Brom now NUFC -- You couldn't make it up could you?

CAMPBELL WILL BE A GREAT SIGNING FOR US, YES HE IS­ NOCKING ON A LITTLE BUT HE HAS DRIVE AND IS STILL­ HUNGRY FOR THE GAME, MORE THAN CAN BE SAID FOR SOME WE­ HAVE,
MAYBE HE WILL SHAME THOSE WE HAVE NOW INTO­ ACTUALLY WANTING TO PLAY INSTEAD OF JUST TURNING OUT­ AND FOLLOWING THE BALL AROUND, HE IS A GREAT PLAYER,

He`s past it and another has-been. The Toon does not­ him. He snubbed the Toon when he had the chance to join­ and went to Notts and now it`s all gone bad for him­ he`s looking for a another easy wage packet.

not for me thank's we need young hungry talent ,­ not merc's just coming for the cash and a bit of­ limelight . anyway hasn't he just walked out on one­ contract.....

But do we really need another over the hill has been­ who has just walked out on a contract? Players like­ this have managed to bring NUFC down quite nicely over­ the past few years, so I hope not.

and he can kiss all the boys in the changing room @#$%­ camp-bell

excellent,i hope the move happens, sol is just what the­ toon need,with his influance,experiance and reputation­ he could make a enviable back 4 ready 4 the prem if­ given the chance.

great ....... a good defender a lot of games under his­ belt, we need a player like him .ryan taylor.....steven­ taylor......jose ....and campbell...what a back 4. come­ on sol you know you want to join us
