God, this came out of nowhere. First thing I thought was it must be personal problems driving him out of London.

[King Ellis]

I just can't believe that they'd pay so much for him.

[Summers]

If this does lead to Arsenal signing Davies, then brilliant move.

[Liam]

He obviously likes the hot Turkish cock.

[Guest muddatrucker]

For that price they can have him, he's got too slow and against Wigan Roberts picked him apart, on form (especially for England) he can be amazing but he's getting on and I'd like to see a decent replacement.

[Dan]

At least you and sol have got something in common, then

Drop the cliche, kthxbye

They're supposed to have an amazing gay scene in Istanbul.

Don't tell him that, we'll never see him again.

[Guest Heresy]

That's a ridiculous price for him. I always expected him to leave on a free when his contract was up, not a big-money deal to a foreign land. He'll be back within 6 months anyway everyone who goes over there from England seems to hate it.

Fenerbahce must have just seen his performance in the Champions League final and missed the rest of his season. £8,000,000 is a ridiculous figure - but well done to Arsenal for somehow pulling the wool over Fenerbahce's eyes and convincing them this is a good deal (it isn't).

[Guest Heresy]

I'm glad hes going, actually. More English players need to venture out abroad, an englishman on the continent seems to be rare unless your playing for Real Madrid.

[Liam]

Or are Owen Hargreaves

[Summers]

He's Canadian.

[Liam]

Lets keep telling ourselves that in the hope Sven realises

[TheArsenal]

I'm waiting for this to appear on the Arsenal site before I respond too much. But I will say that 8 million for an aging player who has missed most of the season and has dropped in the pecking order is an extremely good deal for Arsenal.

[FLiam]

I would say the transfer itself is worth about £0-£1m. I think the £8m figure quoted is Campbell's contract he will have.

But I could be wrong. I hope I am.

[ONO]

They are supposidly offering him a 3-year contract at £75,000 a week. All this hostility for Campbell? I've always liked the big guy, and always thought he was pretty damn solid on his day. Not a bad bit of business at all. He'll be a good signing.

[Scott McFly]

Why can I not find anything about this on the Sky Sports or BBC websites? You'd think they'd report it if it's true.
