What's everyone's view on Joel Campbell, from what I've seen of him he looks like a very good player but isn't used anywhere near enough.
I'd be inclined to say is have him over Jovetic as he would be more suited to playing as a striker as well as a support player.

Haha, what? He wouldn't get in our U21s team.

Man City fans were right about Lampard; the club lied and broke the rules

Man City fans were right? I couldn't give a flying f@ck!

Right, own up - which one of you lot posted this?!!!

Why arsenal and their merry band of tarquins worry about city I will never know, the fact is you have never won promotion legally to the top division, until you do, then I for one will never recognise any trophy arsenal have won since the end of the 1st world war. The fact is the self appointed moral guardians of the game were the perpetrators of the biggest fraud the top division has ever seen. #henry norris

Here you go mate - you may not be surprised to know that Liverpool and United were also involved in this dubious saga:

"Norris's most infamous contribution to Arsenal's history was his role in the club's promotion from the Second Division to the First in 1919. Arsenal were elected to the top flight in spite of only finishing fifth the previous season (1914-15, as competition had been suspended for most of World War I). This promotion came at the expense of other clubs, most notably Arsenal's arch-rivals Tottenham Hotspur. It has been alleged that Norris bribed or in some way unduly influenced the voting members of the Football League, in particular the league chairman and owner of Liverpool, John McKenna; at the League's AGM, McKenna made a speech recommending Arsenal's promotion ahead of Spurs thanks to the former's longer spell in the League (Arsenal joined in 1893, Spurs in 1908. Although Preston North End & Wolves, who both finished ahead of Arsenal, had been members of the league longer than Arsenal, Wolves since its inception in 1888. Although no firm proof has ever been offered, Norris's other activities, including the scandal that led to his downfall, are often cited as circumstantial evidence. Some claim that Norris 'bribed' McKenna, although this is pure speculation. Probably more likely is that he lobbied McKenna, who fearful of Norris exposing the corruption in the league at the time (Utd and Liverpool were accused of fixing the last game of the season) yielded to Norris's request to promote Arsenal to Division 1 based on their longer spell in the league and their professional status."

From what I've seen Campbell is bang average and wouldn't get on our bench ahead of Pozo

Jovetic may be frustrating at times but he is Messi compared to Joel Campbell
