Sol Campbell aiming for Celtic; Harry Redknapp to keep Jonathan Woodgate
Sol Campbell wants a move to Celtic
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Sol-Campbell-c33757, the Newcastle centre back, revealed that he would prefer a move to Celtic. He said while speaking to reporters, “I'd look at the situation, I'd look at everything. But Celtic have to come to me and Newcastle have
to come to me and say x, y, z. Newcastle would have to decide what they want to do. I couldn't come to an agreement with Celtic last summer, that's the way it goes at times. I was still impressed by the club.”
The possibility of the move to Celtic is still in the early stages, but the former Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur player remains hopeful. He was somewhat confident of a move taking place during the January transfer window. He added,
“Sometimes six months down the road people can wake up and realize things better, look at the bigger picture. We'll see what happens. Watch this space, eh?”
Celtic manager Neil Lennon is desperate to strengthen his defensive line up after an injury crisis, which has seen http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Glenn-Loovens-c15054 pick up long term injuries. However, chances are Sol Campbell will trip on
his own foot and break his hip, which will leave Lennon in the same position he was before the transfer.
Harry Redknapp determined to keep http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Jonathan-Woodgate-c19069
Tottenham boss Harry Redknapp said he would not let defender Jonathan Woodgate join London rivals Arsenal after rumours were heard that the Gunners were keen on signing the 31-year-old. Arsene Wenger’s target list was topped by
Woodgate following defensive problems at the Emirates. He said, “No, not a chance. We wouldn’t let him go. We want to keep him.” It seems like Redknapp has a case of if-I-can’t-have-him-no-one-else-can, especially bitter rivals Arsenal.
Woodgate was out with an injury for over a season. He recently returned in the Spurs XI squad against Queens Park http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Rangers-c40314 reserves, which ended in a 9-2 win for the Spurs. Redknapp admitted the game was not too much of a challenge
for the defender and said he was willing to give the former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/England-c749 international some time to prove himself. Redknapp said, “Jonathan’s been out of the team for two years but played 45 minutes against a QPR team Neil Warnock sent although I think they were
waiters from the Shepherd’s Bush area. It wasn’t a great test but Jonathan’s doing well. He’s coming back and when he’s fit, he’s a top, top centre half.”
Redknapp’s attempt at being humorous and insulting the QPR reserves side did nothing more than insulting his own side and their “impressive” 9-2 win over them. For now, Redknapp seems to have made up his mind about Woodgate, but
if the right price is offered by the right club then the 31-year-old might be on his way out, since he does not seem to have a future with the Spurs.
