Yo I think Campbell deserves a starting spot to see how good he is. The lad has been here for 5 years and never got a shoe in. Just play the guy and let's see if he can kick a ball.

I expect smart people to say "hmmm, Manchester United's highly paid technical staff coaches, managers and scouts deem this player worthy of spending massive money. I dont know anything about the player so what i'll do is reserve judgement. In fact i'm a little worried as an ABU, this boy could well be the real deal and I admire United for attempting to identify the next in line when all the established stars are unavailable"
But nope, you wrote him off.
It was an intelligence test. Simple as that.
Are we doing 'so poorly'? We are in the CL, obviously, but before Tuesday we'd just beaten Spurs away (not a result I can get too excited about, given it's the league cup, but always nice to beat Spurs, particularly at WHL) and got a good result away at Leicester who I guess we should be beating but they were unbeaten so it was a pretty decent result. The maddening thing is the lack of consistency.
let's see how we do vs Utd. If we beat them (starting to look like quite a big if, but you never know with us at the moment) then the league campaign at least will be pretty good so far.
Pat yourself on the back for being one of the 'smart' people. But I don't recall people writing him off. You'll have to find one from me where I wrote him off as a player. I don't judge players like that. Especially young players I haven't seen. But I'm also not one clamouring for Wenger to spend big on this young player because I don't trust his development skills. That's my argument. Not for that money. If he can't get enough out of his record signing in Ozil and if he can't get more out of our young players, I trust him with less, not more. An intelligent person should be able to comprehend what I'm saying here.
Do you trust Wenger to develop him? That's the question. And the fact that Wenger didn't recognise his talent in the first place should be the point to question. Not the fans. Man Utd signed Bebe, Nani and Anderson for silly money too so that's no argument.

'WHEN HE HAS A PLAN, WE BACK HIM, WHEN HE DOESN'T......WE KEEP QUIET'
Managers are overrated. Top talents with the right attitude will develop regardless.
He seemed to 'develop' Henry ok.
http://www.theguardian.com/football/...ampions-leagueArsenal have been described as the team who “don’t want to defend” by Alfred Finnbogason, the Olympiakos striker, who scored his club’s winning goal in the Champions League match at Emirates Stadium on Tuesday night.
The Arsenal inquest has focused on Finnbogason’s 66th-minute goal, which came less than 60 seconds after Alexis Sánchez had equalised to make the score 2-2 and was the result of a collective loss of discipline that left the home side exposed.
Per Mertesacker, the Arsenal defender who came on after Laurent Koscielny had injured his hamstring, has said his team will not qualify for the competition’s knockout phase if they continue to show such failings.
After losing their opening game at Dinamo Zagreb, Arsenal may need to get something from their home and away ties against Bayern Munich. Koscielny is not expected to be fit for Sunday’s Premier League game at home to Manchester United.
Finnbogason, the Iceland international who was a half-time substitute, talked of how Olympiakos had executed a perfect gameplan after scrutinising Arsenal’s weaknesses, which include how they defend corners. Olympiakos’s first goal came from a corner which was drifted back to the edge of the area for Felipe Pardo to score with a deflected volley.
“The first corner is something we practise on the training pitch because we know they have no man on the edge of the box,” Finnbogason said. “When you play against this team you know they’re going to have a lot of the ball. You have to defend well, have the lines tight and use your time when you have spaces. And you know you’re going to have spaces because they don’t want to defend. So our plan worked.”
Arsčne Wenger had substituted the defensive midfielder Francis Coquelin for the more attack-minded Aaron Ramsey on the hour and Mertesacker suggested there had been a rush of blood and a lack of balance after Sánchez’s equaliser.
“We rushed a bit and not everyone came back to a defensive position, like we should have done,” Mertesacker said. “I felt we were a bit exposed. There was no one on the edge of the box. We should have done much better, especially having come back and had a lot of possession in the second half.
“After we scored it looked like we were not ready to win this game. There was a lack of concentration, a lack of discipline. We need to do much better defensively on these occasions because these occasions decide more and more games in modern football. When we play like that, with that lack of concentration and discipline, we have got no chance [of qualifying].”
Gabriel Paulista, the other Arsenal centre-half, said it was essential the team regrouped before United’s visit. “It was a complicated night,” he said. “We only have ourselves to blame for conceding the three goals and now we have to rest, work harder and, on Sunday, we have a great game.
“Every game is very important and Sunday is the same. We are at home and we have an obligation to win at home. Things are not turning out well in the Champions League. In the Premier League we are fine but in the Champions League – I don’t know what to say.”
More thinly coded messages for Wenger coming hot in the heels of the Zagreb manager taking the piss out of him and the Monaco manager taunting him last season. Will he listen to his own defenders or the opponents who are carefully explaining how they got the better of him?
He won't.
Für eure Sicherheit
Exactly.
My issue with Wenger is he is too preoccupied with preaching about the state of the market and sitting on his hands when it comes to improving our squad.
He's basically full of shit, coming out with lunatic statements such as there were no players on the market better than what we currently have.
Both of the above statements regarding the state of the market and no players being available are basically linked and it's Wenger trying to be clever and covering up that he is flat out not prepared to pay the market rate for new players.
He isn't doing anybody any favours here and is basically on a lone crusade with this stance, the market is the market and it will not change for one man.
The irony of it all is that whilst it looks like Wenger isn't taking risks albeit from a financial nature, he is indirectly taking a bigger risk by hoping for internal improvement and gambling on the same set of players who failed last year to somehow come good this season.
It's all a load of bollocks really.
Is that how far back we have to go? Henry!?
You're not concerned by the fact that Wenger said he sees this kid as a winger type and not a striker? You've seen the effects of players being played out of position. Are we blaming the student and not the teacher for the rubbish and flawed players we've churned out over the past 10 years? Do you think this is simply a money and quality problem and it doesn't matter about the manager?
