The Campbell signing is a good move purely to provide a little training room leadership and a bit of cover at the back. He's a solid player when healthy, but I don't think he's a regular first teamer because I don't think he can last a full season without injury.

As for Titus. I think overall, he's been a very good player for Wigan. The concentration lapses are still there, but much less frequently then when we had him. (Lets hope he saves those for the derby.) When his head is screwed on straight, he's a beast. I think he'll be a good player for Sunderland.

Ronaldo was a fat sod but it didn't do him much harm did it ?

So for the record you are happy with Titsup yeah ?

Damn he doesn't look ready for a PL season though tbh does he?

[RoccoF14]

No, he doesn't however that shouldn't be a surprise.

He's a month behind the rest of the squad from a fitness standpoint. I don't think we'll see him on the pitch until September. He'll need 3 weeks of training and at least 2 reserve team matches.

I agree

...from NUFC.com:

Quotes attributed to Sol Campbell on Monday, following reports of online jibes arising from some press photos of him training with Newcastle:

"It's pathetic. I had been training for three days – just three days. I am three weeks behind everyone else in pre-season. Don't they know I have just got married and been on honeymoon?

"I accept that the picture wasn't flattering, and I do need to catch up on my level of fitness, but the training kit was not very flattering and showed up all sorts of things. The truth is that I am now in better shape than when I started off back at Arsenal after a long lay-off. I got myself back into shape at Arsenal, and I think I had a reasonably good end half of the season.

"I am a naturally big guy, but I cannot rush my conditioning, otherwise trying too much too quickly could result in injuries. Of course I can understand the manager wants me to be in the side, but the season starts in just two weeks and I really need three to four weeks to get back to peak fitness.

"I've seen it all before, done it all before, heard it all before, but that means I also know exactly what to do. It's a long season and I cannot listen to idiots. I know these things cannot be rushed. What I do know is that I will achieve peak fitness given the time I need to do it. It might be that I will need to play and then put in extra training in between games.

"My message is simple to all the knockers: I am knuckling down and want to play my football with a great club and a great manager. Then you can judge me."

Well I like what he's saying at least. Go on Sol, get it done.

Hmmm neither did his big arse .

As for Titsup the jury is out . To be honest the only ones I am happy with are Bent and Henderson . Dont know how the new signings will work out or whether there will be any more .
Certainly felt more confident at the start of last season . I hope all the injuries are over and done with before the season starts . PL players are manufactured at Wedgewood , bassas .
