^^ Pretty much.

Meanwhile, young Costa Rican striker Joel Campbell has revealed his joy at sealing a move to the Emirates.

"Greetings to the Arsenal fans. It is a dream come true to play for such a big club in England and I want to do well for myself and Costa Rica. I am ready, I am very happy to be here and I want to focus on doing well for Arsenal,'' he said.

"Arsenal is a very well-known club in Costa Rica. I am making history because no other Costa Rican player has ever played in a team with the quality of Arsenal. Only one player has been in the Premier League before but not like the one I am at now.

"Arsene Wenger is a manager of immense quality. He knows how to use youngsters' ability. I have been watching Arsenal play since I was a kid and I took this decision because I know I have a possibility to become a better player here.''

welcome! and good luck

and heres to you breaking Wenger's recent habit of buying dross to play up front ala Bendtner and Vela who will notice are either not around or soon to be not around

[Ashburton2006]

Could that possibly be true? It would trump by a margin any other deal done this summer. This guy is a brilliant footballer, one of the few who could replace Fabregas. Is he even available? If so, why has nobody else in for him? It's another pipe dream I suppose.

No! It wont happen!
How many players have we been linked with!!!!
No one wants to come to Arsenal! FACT!!

Wenger will be gone by Monday as we will be out of the CL and 8 points behind already in the EPL!

Wenger, Gazidis, and the other farts get out now!!

Okay so here's a kid who does want to be here, so fuck Mata and fuck all the other greedy bastards who can't even be honest with themselves. Why a player can't just transfer in and shut his gob about the other teams is a mystery. You'd almost think they were embarrassed about being a money whore - but that can't be true because these are modern day footballers. Who knows how it might work out, maybe Campbell will be the new Ian Wright and score 200 goals over an illustrious career whereas Mata will play well for a season and then get a big offer from his "beloved" homeland. We'll see. But so far, judging by the attitude of one and the attitude problem of the other, I'd rather have the Costa Rican here. Welcome matey and let's see you do the business.

We have to listen to the player, don't we? Not his dad. His dad won't be on the pitch, he'll just be lurking in the background working out his cut. But that's modern football.

[Master Splinter]

Totally agree - wenger needs to become a free market fundamentalist.

[Olivier's xmas twist]

oh well, glad we missed you then you bellend

Whilst Mata says silverware is the main reason he opted for Chelsea, Spurs boss Harry Redknapp insists he moved for financial reasons only.
"We were in for Mata and close to doing a deal. But he didn't come and Chelsea came in," Redknapp told the Daily Mail.
"Obviously they can blow you out of the water wage wise, and then he
changes his mind and they get him. It's all about wages."

Imangine If AW had saud this he get lynched.

do a quick search on google 'joel campbell rejects arsenal' and tons of sites come up about how his father wanted him to wait for a bigger offer after the U20 world cup.

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.

[KSE Comedy Club]

Yeh, fuck his dad and fuck Mata tbh.

I for one am really looking forward to seeing Campbell play, Ive got a good feeling about him, think he may become a very good player.

Hope he gets his work permit this week.
