da 888casino： Sol Campbell has recently been for talks with Celtic over the possibility of joining the Scottish giants next season. The 35-year-old has reportedly been offered a two-year-deal; however he is keeping his options open and hopes to get an offer from Arsenal. However is the former England defender still good enough to play at the highest level or has he truly had his day?
Arsene Wenger unexpectedly re-signed Sol Campbell on a six-month deal in January after he walked out on Notts County after just one game at the club. Although he looked slightly sluggish at first after he regained his fitness he didn’t look out of place in the Arsenal back four and overall did a good job for the Gunners. However every year now will take an extra toll on his body and whether he will be up to it next season is unknown. Quite a few Arsenal fans believe he would still be good cover for the side and can lend an experienced hand to younger players, and this could especially be useful in Carling Cup ties where Wenger likes to play his youngsters.
The main sticking points over whether or not Campbell stays at Arsenal appears to be the amount of playing time that he will get and the length of the contract. It’s well documented that Wenger doesn’t like to give older players longer than one year deals and as for his playing time, at his age and at a club like Arsenal there is no way he can be first choice. This is why a move to Celtic would greatly appeal to Campbell as he will get the security of a two-year deal and probably be a first team regular. He can look to emulate the captain of Celtic’s bitter rivals Rangers, David Weir; the 40-year-old was named as Scottish Football Writers’ Association Player of the Year last season. The defender has had a very successful time in Scotland since making the move from Everton three years ago, this shows that Campbell could have a very successful career in Scotland should he decide to make the move.
However with the Scottish league being vastly inferior to the Premiership, Campbell would have to ask himself if he wants to be a reserve in the best league in the world, or a regular for a big team in a sub-standard league. Another option could be to join another side in the Premiership but Newcastle have been the only club rumoured to be after his services. As they already boost Steven Taylor and Fabricio Coloccini in defence Campbell would also have to be content as a reserve. A final option could be for Campbell to retire and whilst it doesn’t seem likely, perhaps it could be the right time for him to hang up his boots now whilst he is still regarded as a decent centreback.
The next decision Sol Campbell makes is going to be important one as it will determine the last few years of his career. Ultimately he can be a Premier League benchwarmer, a regular in a lesser league, although in Celtic’s case it would be for a massive club. Or he could retire now and have a good career to look back on; whatever he chooses it’s going to be interesting to see which path he takes.
