Today’s announcement that Sol Campbell has parted company with Notts County means that he will be labeled with one of football's less glamorous legacies. The former England defender only made his debut for the League Two club last weekend, when they succumbed to a 2-1 loss away to Morecombe.
Campbell's performance was a little laboured, understandable considering how much pre-season he has missed, but you have to wonder if it was during these 90 minutes that he made up his mind to leave. Meanwhile for the fans of Notts County it must feel like a slap in the face, especially after all the shock and excitement that greeted Campbell's unveiling at Meadow Lane on August 25th.
If another day is worth another dollar, then a week is worth seven dollars, or 19 złotych 74 grosze if you’re Polish.
Like many a footballer I’ve been on the move this summer.
The new season may only be six fixtures old, but the 2009-10 Eredivisie is already taking shape and is promising to produce a highly competitive campaign. Judging by how the season has gone so far, last season's champions and runners-up (AZ Alkmaar and FC Twente) will face sterner opposition this time around, and not just from Ajax. Both Feyenoord and PSV have had flying starts and the early signs are that both clubs have the potential to reclaim past glories.
