Campbell injury adds to Gunners woes
Thu, 03 Feb 2005

Arsenal's misery over defeat by Manchester United on Tuesday night has been compounded by news that centreback Sol Campbell will be out of action for ten days with an ankle injury.

Campbell suffered the setback while trying to block United striker Louis Saha late in the 4-2 defeat at Highbury and will definitely miss Saturday's Premiership clash with Aston Villa, as well as England's friendly against Holland next week.

That leaves manager Arsene Wenger with a major headache as he is already without Campbell's normal partner at centreback, Kolo Toure, who is suspended, and Swiss teenager Philippe Senderos, who has a knee injury.

Wenger will be forced to turn to England Under-21 international Justin Hoyte, who has made a handful of appearances at full-back, to plug the gap in the centre alongside Pascal Cygan.

England manager Sven-Goran Eriksson has the luxury of being able to call upon Chelsea defender John Terry as a replacement for Campbell.

Tuesday night's defeat prompted Wenger to concede that his side no longer retained any hope of defending their Premiership title.

Star striker Thierry Henry reluctantly admitted the manager was right, but urged his team-mates to make up for their domestic disappointment in the Champions League arena.

"The Champions League is a priority for everyone but a bit more for us after Tuesday night," Henry said.

"Maybe well concentrate more on that now and see where we can go in the FA Cup as well," he said.

Arsenal resume their quest for Champions League glory later this month with a second round tie against Bayern Munich.

Now you will know how it feels when Ferdinand was serving his ban and we played with a half-crippled Brown :p not to mention later injuries to Silvestre, Fortune, O'Shea, Gary. Has Vieira ever played CB? :D

Do you really think Chelsea will sell Cech?

Cudicini might be possible, but Cech never

You guys already have a good goalkeeper in Lehmann he is just extravagant, you can compare him with Barthez, he also does some crazy things sometimes, but is still a good goallie

i would love to sign Cudicini, but i dont think he will go to any UK club out of respect to Chelsea and management wouldnt want to strengthen the opposition.

What i meant that £7m looks very cheap when Chelsea bought him, i think both man u and arsenal would now rather spend some cash for decent goalies rather than trying cheap unproven ones which has caused soo much unrest for both clubs, and of course Chelsea would never sell him to us.

7m? r u fu.cking joking me? if chelski first would REALLy give him away, and if they would REALLY give him for 7mill, and IF he REALLY wants to leave, i absolutely guarantee you he would be gone by now... but NONE of those will happen. hes happy, they are happy, no offers (including one of lets say 50mill) would get chelski to sell.


what a stupid comment

The turning point of our season was not our defeat at Old Trafford after 49 undefeated matches, the key moment is when we lost Gilberto Silva and Edu with injuries. And some other players too.

Waaaaaaaaaaaa.....whining about two relatively insignificant injuries?.......as if these two were world beaters to begin with. Cesc and fillet mignon have equalled them if not bettered them, so, don't lay that nonsense on us, man..........**** the age issue. We unravelled like the cheap suit we are after that seedy loss to Manu. We became discombobulated and lost all direction instead of picking ourselves up and putting it behind us. So much for all that lip service of us not putting too much stock into that winning streak, eh boys??




Ahhh shutup you half-witted mothereffer
I don't want to say bad things about anybody, but look at our substitutes and the Chelsea and Manchester ones. We have great, young players but you can't ask them to be present all along during the season. We don't have the same squad as our adversaries and I have said that for a long time.

Wow. Imagine if you're one of the cats coming off the bench reading this from your top player? It's rather petty for him to buffer his slight on our squad with "we've got great young players....but they've got nothing on our rivals......" No one can be expected to be present all through out the season, hell all we ask of him is to be present in the key games when we need him to show a little more determination and take control of situations and he doesn't come close to doing that, yet he wants the youngsters to be present all season long.....great! The grass is greener on the other side of the pitch, says he. How discouraging and dispiriting to know that you're nothing but a mockery of a footballer who's got nothing on your main rival's subs......sheesh........what a cynical ****, man. Is he really that out of touch with the rest of the squad?


Start your fault-finding outbursts with the manager and the starting eleven first, before you lay all the blame on our lack of depth......whining turd!

:rolleyes:

all i said was that chelsea BOUGHT HIM FOR £7m which is very cheap for a player of his quality i never said we were bidding for or we should buy him. read the original post.

"(and buy a decent goal keeper, cech seems like a bargin @ £7m now)"

now wouldn't you pay £7m for a player like Cech and solve the GK situation rather than pay £250k for an unproven keeper???????????? £7m is very cheap for someone in their mid-20s, and can play for atleast 6-8 yrs more and already has experience international experience as well as his skills.

The first time I saw that incident I felt it was a clear penalty...good thing I'm flying on some awesome drugs at the moment to be too depressed about it.


Rest ye assured, though, I'm not in anyway using that one incident as an excuse as to why we lost the match. We were bettered by Manu significantly in the second half. They were more determined, showed more character and unity, also, Arsene was out coached by Turdgie (as usual).

Wenger wanted Cech when he was at Sparta Prague but he didn't qualify for a work permit.

I don't understand why Wenger doesn't sign a player and then appeal for his work permit. I think Houllier did that with Baros and Fergie had to do it with Tim Howard before he got his Hungarian passport. With Wenger's reputation of finding gems, you would think they would allow him to sign players even though they haven't played enough international games to qualify for a work permit.
