Weren't many better players for Arsenal against Barcalona. The guy can still play.
He's younger than Primus or Stefanovic I believe. And he brings a ton of experience. Not many teams would be either able to pay his salary or (in the case of the bigger clubs) willing to. Not saying the guy is going to take us to the top, but if we can sign a good midfielder and a good forward we'll be mid-table calibre.
The other advantage to signing Campbell, no need to pay the outragrous fees people want Pompey to pay now we have some cash. "Oooh Portsmouth are rich, we'll make them pay ... 6 mill for a washed up defender" .. fuck that.
Of course the big guy might get injured. Then we're screwed
(Edit : You know, there's also the possibility he wanted to go to Portsmouth? Where he gets to be da boss of the team.)
(2nd Edit : Bigger clubs intrested : Newcastle, Man City, Marseille, Fenerbahnce ...)
