Read this, and then still say Sol gets treated harshly by the Tottenham fans:

one quote


25/04/2001 Campbell's agent, Sky Andrew: "Sol first has to get himself fit, he won't be playing for Tottenham again this season, but hopes to be able to play for England in the summer, that's the main thing on his mind at the moment. He is honour-bound to talk with Tottenham first, especially now that Glenn Hoddle has taken over as the new manager. But of course it's not everyday that a player of Sol's ability becomes available, so it attracts massive interest. What makes any deal with Sol also very attractive is that he is on a free transfer, so many clubs from England and Europe have made it known that they are monitoring the situation. It would not be fair of me to name clubs, but Sol has often said that he would prefer to stay in London. So it wouldn't be too difficult to work out which big London clubs have asked me to keep them up to date with the way matters with Tottenham are progressing."

Barcelona winger, Marc Overmars: "I'm really surprised to hear that Sol Campbell looks set to join my old team Arsenal from Spurs. I had a strong feeling that he'd be signing for my current team Barcelona and it's a shock that he seems to have chosen to cross the North London divide instead. It would have been great to see Sol put his skills and abilities to test in a new league. It would also have been good for him as a player in his development. Instead, it seems he's chosen to stay put in England." he added: "I understand that nothing is finalised or official between Campbell and Arsenal. Arsenal need to look forward and invest in some younger centre-backs if they are to make any progress at all so Campbell would be good for them in that respect. But he will face some stick if he moves and possibly some serious abuse. Certainly when Arsenal travel to White Hart Lane next season, Campbell will have to face some horrible scenes, angry fans and endure a horrible experience. He'll have to be big enough to face that consequence if he moves to Highbury."

Seems like Overmars understood the Spurs fans better than Campbell ever did.
