Just heard from a reliable source that Fenerbace have signed Sol Campbell from Arsenal for 8 million sterling.
Awaiting confirmation from offical Arsenal source but apprantly the Fenerbace website has confimed it - article is in Turkish http://www.fenerbahce.com/haberler/18164.php
Surprising move for the England Centre Half but obviously great money for the player and the selling club, for a 32 year old.
Nothing on the internet superhighway yet.
If true thats the end of his international career
if he's ever talked to the other campbell, kevin ... i'd be shocked if he moved to turkey
What happened to Kevin in Turkey?
from

"Kevin Campbell suffered racist taunts from his own chairman while playing for Turkish club Trabzonspor in 1999. Mehmet Ali Yilmaz said in a television interview: 'We bought a cannibal who calls himself a striker. He is coloured. A great disappointment to the club."
...
he was regularly a victim of racist taunts.
he refused to play for the club until he got a public apology. he never got one and joined cash-strapped Everton on loan. he hit probably the best form of his life to keep them up ... in a desperate bid to secure a permenent deal and get out of Turkey for good
there's some other story about when he was unveiled to the fans. apparently they sacrified a sheep and dipped his boots in his blood .... nice
i heard the same story about the goat, but they daubed the blood on his forehead instead of his boots!
i think this story is a non runner.
Good man KarlosIrl.
This is a link from google news in the last two hours.
Even the URL says it but i can't find the article.
Here's a turkish one.
