Zola open minded over Sol
West Ham United boss Gianfranco Zola admits he would consider signing Sol Campbell if he needed to add an experienced defender to his squad.
Campbell quit Notts County earlier this week just a month after agreeing a five-year contract with the ambitious League Two outfit.
The 35-year-old is not allowed to join a new club until January, but his former Portsmouth boss Harry Redknapp believes the centre-half can still perform in the Premier League.
Fulham and Wolves were among the clubs to pass up the chance to land Campbell in the summer, but Zola concedes he could move for the ex-England international depending on the circumstances.
"It would depend on whether you needed him, but he's a good player with experience and he's got everything," said Zola.
"If I was in need of an experienced player, I would think of him."
Meanwhile, the Hammers head to Manchester City on Monday night having failed to win in the Premier League since the opening day of the season.
But, after recently bringing in Guillermo Franco on a free transfer, Zola insists he is not jealous of the seemingly unlimited millions available to City boss Mark Hughes.
Zola said: "I don't envy anybody. We are not a club who can spend £20million on a player, but we are solid. We have stability and can look forward with a positive attitude.
"Franco is going to be important for us. He has got experience and presence on the pitch. He will be a very good buy for us."
He added: "We know we are not getting the points we should, but we are playing well and improving. I'm the first to say that points-wise we are not doing great, but I am not working just on three points.
"I am working on a project. I see the big picture. It is just a matter of time before we start picking up points with consistency."
