I don't care about his past if he joined us. Do you think Arsenal fans were concerned after they bought Sol?
this quote "just to confirm, my friend a well known sky sports presenter and spurs fan was in spain last week and bumped into DB, he informed her he HAS signed for us"
i half believe this as know he was or still is in spain as a few of my mates went with him.
Isn't he a spurs fan though? So automatically (if he signs) one of our own?

I think there was an under current of secepticism with him from Arsenal fans. They never really took him as one of their own and although he clearly was a great defender for them, he won't be remembered as a legend amongst most of them and I think it's partly down to his tottenham roots.
My experience and observation of scum fans differs completely.
They loved Sol and seemed to me loved the fact that he left us in the way he did and went to them for nothing.
If anything his roots with us only made it sweeter for them (as it was a clear kick in the nuts for us)
Same as Arsenal fans loved (and many still do) Pat Jennings, why would the fact that he played for us have any baring on them?
Personally I find it childish and ridiculous that a fan would not accept a new player because he had played for a rival club.
If said player is good for the team and does well/brings success to the team then more power to him. If of course he comes and flops for us then by all means reject him and see him as a scum reject (but not before hand)
Campbell enjoyed much success with Arsenal and as such their fans loved him for his role in that success (and if they didn't take to him because he once played for us inspite of all his success for them, then they are fools imo)

I read Robbiepope's post slightly different to you anger'
I don't disagree with you that they took to campbell because he kicked us in the nuts and he gave them good service helping with much success but my impression was that they never wholly trusted him because they knew the kind of man he was, even arsenal fans know when someone is untrustworthy.
To be fair as it turned out they were right not to trust mr "I'm going abroad and won't sign for an English club if you release me mr wenger" campbell who now plays for atletico pompey.
I'd still give her one, she can read the sports news to me in my room, naked :hump:
unsure we will sign another right winger when we already have aaron and santana?
