Gunners manager Arsene Wenger refuses to give players over 30-years old contracts longer than one season, per team policy, meaning Sol Campbell's return to Emirates last season might be a one-off deal. Campbell's been weighing contract offers from Arsenal (one year), Celtic and Sunderland (multi-year) this summer and now seems ready to make a decision--with Steve Bruce's Black Cats leading the candidates.
I would like him to sign a new one-year deal otherwise we're going to look very fragile at the back (again). We're losing Gallas and Silvestre already, and we have only brought in one centreback who needs to bulk up before he's ready to play in the league.
Sunderland have apparently signed Titus Bramble. Titus Scramble. Titus Bumble. Titus Fumble. Crisis Bramble. So it seems Sol Campbell is out of their plans. He could return to Arsenal to back up Vermaelen.
