Less than 4 months ago, Sol Campbell joined Notts County only to have left the outfit 3 days after his debut for the club. (Please refer to my previous entry The "Sol" walks again)
Now, Sol Campbell has rejoined Arsenal and taken up the jersey number 31. He is the 5th player to have rejoined Arsenal in the club's history. Somehow, his performance has been rather disappointing. He looked like his weight is slowing him down quite a lot and at an age 35, I have serious doubts of whether he can keep up with the game, much less the pace and style of Arsenal.
I suppose at the current situation that Arsenal is facing, Sol provides Wenger a player whom he can trust, work with and probably bring some experience to his defence and the squad. I guess at least he hasn't left Arsenal the way he left Notts so that's good news for Wenger. Though his contribution is definitely doubtful in the long run, right now, at 20,000 pounds a week, I guess it must have been a cheap steal for Wenger to tide over the tough times.
