sorry if i dont sound too enthusiastic about his father being his agent. we havent exactly had a good track record of fathers being agents.

ill enjoy him while he's here.
for 4 years.

Isnt that what NQ just said :shrug:

The fact is, it was his dad that was making the issue, but Joel himself obviously wanted to come here as he said so.

and you dont think his dads going to whisper in his ear in 4 years time when campbell becomes another revelation, telling him how he could triple his wages at city or madrid?

pah whatever man. lets hope he turns out good and we get the most out of him before daddy whispers in his ear.

Interesting...

He probably will do, but that doesnt mean he will listen to what his dad says does it?

Yeh, but by all accounts, he didnt listen to his dad did he?

The deal was dead after what his dad said about holding out for other clubs, then a week or two later and weve signed him.

Maybe Joel told his dad straight that he wanted to come here. Its not so hard to believe.

More like he and his Dad wanted another club to take him but nobody else would pay him the £20k per week we offered him. Hence he turns up at Arsenal.

Lille midfielder Eden Hazard has emerged as a transfer target for Arsenal.

The 20-year-old Belgium international is under contract until 2015 with a reported value of £26m.

The Gunners are weighing up a bid for Hazard as they look to replace Cesc Fabregas and Samir Nasri, who is poised to join Manchester City.

Hazard was named Ligue 1 player of the year after Lille's league and cup double last season.

BBC Sport understands Arsenal have been monitoring Hazard closely and could make a move for the player before the transfer window shuts on 31 August.

But the French champions say they will rebuff any offer from the Gunners or any other club.

Lille general manager Frederic Paquet told BBC Sport: "Eden will not be leaving this season.

"We are aware of interest from some of the biggest clubs in Europe but we are not prepared to sell.

"He is very happy here, he understands our project and wants to stay for at least another year."

Hazard has scored 23 goals in 123 club appearances and won 20 caps for his country.
