Should Campbell Walk Straight Into The Team?

08 September 2010 17:20
Veteran defender Sol Campbell says he is "in with a shout" of making his Newcastle debut against Blackpool on Saturday ... but is he better than the players we already have in the team? Sol Campbell: "I'm going to keep on pushing. "I'm in with a shout, I just have to keep training hard now. "Once you have the minutes under your belt you just have to wait for the call from the gaffer. "I needed to get the minutes, and that's what it is all about really. "I'm getting those minutes and I'm getting stronger and stronger."
