http://www.footballtransfers.co.uk/transfers/sol_saga.html The Sol Campbell Saga Date Quote (有误请更正) 坎贝尔转会传奇，从这连结看来，这传奇从'99夏天坎贝尔只剩两年合约开始。 这其间传出想买坎贝尔的从西甲罗马祖文拉其奥到西甲皇马还有英超的曼联， 传闻金额从一千多万到两千多万不等，热刺本身当然也很焦急，除了一方面对 外说他们不想卖坎贝尔之外，一方面也急着想让Sol签约，到了'00年四月， 热刺主席还是很有把握说，坎贝尔夏天会续约的，因为他以前都是选在夏天球季 还没开始前续约，2000年欧洲国家杯完後，这下热刺真的开始着急了，而且除曼 联外，连同在伦敦的契尔西也开始对Sol有兴趣，即使如此，热刺主席还是说他 们会尽全力配合坎贝尔的续约要求，即使这样做可能会打破热刺的pay structure 。到'00年十月十一月时，传闻就越演越烈了，坎贝尔表示在合约终止前他不会 离开热刺，而当时机对的时候，他自会与俱乐部谈续约的事，但是热刺教练 已经有点表示对Sol的续约现状失望，因为坎贝尔连坐下来听一下热刺的续约条 件都不要，到年底十二月时，开始有报导把坎贝尔跟兵工厂连起来，但是Sol 重申他对热刺的忠诚可以从他在热刺待了八年中见得到，而且他不认为他到炮 兵後热刺球迷会原谅他。01年三月有拜仁传闻想买坎贝尔，但是双方都否认， 此时坎贝尔续约成功与否对热刺另外一个意义是，有关阵中大将Darren Anderton与Les Ferdinand的续约问题，如果坎贝尔走了，难保其他主力不会想 走(就跟亨利在韦拉决定不去皇马後的三四个月後，坦承如果韦拉走他也会考虑 离开，不知道这消息是真是假)。 四月时当实在欧冠打的不错的里兹，还有西汉姆有对签下有可能自有转会身份 的坎贝尔有兴趣，其中前西汉姆教练Harry Rednapp(前港嘴，现南安普顿教练) 说他曾像坎贝尔经纪人提出六万周薪的提案，坎贝尔的经纪人淡淡得回说： "No, Harry, he's gonna get that anyway"，Rednapp就感觉坎贝尔有可能去 海布里。五月利物浦也被臆测对坎贝尔有兴趣，不过Houllier说他对Hyypia跟 Henchoz有信心，巴萨也说他们对Sol有兴趣，但是认为Sol最终还是会选择留在 白鹿巷。温格这时也谈到他当然想好球员，但是好球员不一定得是名气大的球 员，如果付十万周薪给一个球员只会给俱乐部制造更大的问题(可见这时市场上 有风声说坎贝尔不管是续约还是自由转会的条件就是十万周薪)。前炮兵後卫 Kewon也说坎贝尔来是好事，但是他从没跟坎贝尔私底下谈过这件事，至於找 一个北伦敦死敌球员来海布里，Keown说如果坎贝尔来也不会是第一个这样的 例子，前热刺球员Willie Young与Pat Jennings 到海布里後打的都不错。 坎贝尔则是说一切还未定，但是他对到国外踢球没兴趣。同时Sol的经纪人 说坎贝尔希望这件事最晚六月底就决定。六月中到六月底，看这篇纪录 好像坎贝尔再决定到底是去巴萨还是炮兵，同时国米也加入战局，拜仁 则是说他们曾正式给坎贝尔提案，但是已经现在放弃了，因为如果他们 愿意付年薪5.8m给坎贝尔(周薪约十万)，那岂不是得付给卡恩一笔钜额的薪 水？ 七月三日，坎贝尔正式以波斯曼自由身份来到热刺的死敌兵工厂。 Transfer fee: ￡0.0. 04/07/1999 Roma official commenting after his club were linked with the England international: "We couldn't sign Campbell, not because of a question of money, but because Tottenham don't want to sell him." 23/08/1999 Spurs responding to speculation linking Campbell with ￡21m moves to Spanish and Italian clubs, aswell as Manchester United: "We are not interested in selling Sol Campbell and in any case Manchester United don't have enough money to buy him." 27/09/1999 Spurs' Director of Football, David Pleat responding to rumours of Sol moving to Lazio and Juventus in ￡11m moves: "I can confirm that Lazio have not made any bid for Sol Campbell and we have had no contact from Juventus either." 08/10/1999 David Pleat rejecting speculation linking Campbell with a ￡21m move to Manchester United: "We refuse to discuss any private phone discussions about players publicly as this is a betrayal of confidence. It has been assumed that Manchester United have asked about Sol Campbell in the past and we can confirm this. Sol Campbell has made it quite clear that he does not wish to enter into contract talks until the end of the season and wants to concentrate on his football. We understand that." 10/10/1999 United manager, Sir Alex Ferguson: "Contrary to what anyone has been saying, we have not been in touch with Spurs to try and buy him this season. Yes, we did make an enquiry for him during the summer but nothing came of it. Nothing has happened since then." 17/10/1999 Former Spurs manager, George Graham talking about the Sol Campbell situation: "I want him to commit himself but Sol needs to make the decision or we will have to make the decision for him. We've looked at the situation with Sol just as Alex Ferguson must have done with Roy Keane, and it won't be long before we make up our minds." 19/10/1999 David Pleat rejects papertalk linking the defender to Real Madrid with a ￡15m transfer: "We have not heard from Real Madrid and we have also not been to a match involving Real Betis this season." 26/12/1999 Former Spurs manager, George Graham: "No matter what's been written, Sol Campbell's position has not changed because of one bad defeat at Newcastle. I want him to stay, but the matter is in the hands of the chairman, Alan Sugar, and David Pleat. But Sol has insisted all along that he will not discuss his future until the summer and I have to respect that." 20/03/2000 A Tottenham Hotspur official responding to speculation that Campbell was to join Manchester United: "No agreements have been made with Manchester United with respect to Sol Campbell. Once again we repeat that we will do everything possible to keep Sol Campbell at the club. We are not interested in any offers, from any clubs at any price. We expect to negotiate a new contract at the end of the season." 22/03/2000 Spurs' David Pleat denying rumours linking Ugo Ehiogu with a move to White Hart Lane: "Manager George Graham is aware of the need to search for quality central defenders should Sol Campbell not commit himself to the Club next season." 19/04/2000 Tottenham's Director of Football, David Pleat: "Manchester United have expressed an interest in the last year. We will do everything in our power to try to get him to extend his contract beyond the end of next season. Sol always previously discussed and signed extensions in the summer months and it is not going to be any different this summer." 22/04/2000 Spurs' Director of Football, David Pleat: "Sol Campbell stays whatever, until the end of next season." 08/05/2000 Spurs' Director of Football, David Pleat: "Sol has said that he won't be going anywhere this summer, I am fed up of people asking me about Sol. Sol has stated quite clearly that he will only talk about contracts in the summer. The sun is now shining, it is summer, and we are talking with Sol literally now." 13/05/2000 The then, Spurs chairman, Sir Alan Sugar: "Everybody will understand and accept we can break away from our pay structure in special cases like Campbell. Money should not be an issue as far as Tottenham is concerned. We will do everything in our power to keep him. As far as we are concerned he will be a Tottenham player next year unless he himself says he does not want to be." 04/08/2000 Sol Campbell: "My heart and soul is here and I want to play for Spurs. I am going nowhere - for now." 11/08/2000 Former Spurs manager, George Graham: "Sol is going down the Bosman route. I think Sol is going to wait and see out his contract whatever happens and no matter who we buy. He can do that under the Bosman rule. I don't mind that. That is his decision." 28/08/2000 David Pleat commenting on speculation linking Campbell with a ￡9m move to Old Trafford: "These stories are just speculative and there has been no communication on this matter from Manchester United." 24/09/2000 Chelsea manager, Claudio Ranieri: "Campbell is one of the best central defenders in Europe. He is strong, skilful and has a good brain. I think most coaches would like him, especially for nothing!" 28/10/2000 George Graham talking about Sol Campbell's contractual situation: "Sol will not sit down and speak to the club, the financial people, Alan Sugar, David Pleat, anybody. He doesn't want to sit down and talk, never mind make demands. We want to offer him one of the best contracts in the country, but what can you do? I don't worry about things I can't influence and I can't influence Sol, so I've just got to get on with it. Obviously I've made plans, we're looking for players to replace him. If you don't you are not doing your job properly - but it is very sad." 20/11/2000 Again, George Graham commenting on the defender's contract situation: "We know that even if we accepted a transfer fee for him, Sol would not go. It's important that the fans know that. It's all very well people saying that we could have sold him for ￡15million, but that will never happen if the player himself doesn't want to move until his contract ends. It is time people realise that you cannot sell a player without the player's permission. Sol's plan is to see his contract out. I can understand that, but what I can't understand is him not sitting down and listening to our financial offer, even if he turns it down. He says he is Tottenham through and through but I think he should show a bit of curtesy by at least sitting down and talking about a new contract at White Hart Lane." 03/12/2000 Sol talking about his situation: "I can assure everyone that I won't be signing for another club while I am still a Spurs player. There have been numerous times when I could have just walked away and said 'I've had enough, I'm leaving.' I haven't done that because I want to be here. It annoys me that people question my loyalty to the club. Is eight years of your career not loyalty? How many players have stayed that long at a club? My position has not changed from day one. I always said that, when the time is right, I will talk to the club about my situation. I have always maintained a good relationship with the fans. I have always spoken from the heart when it comes to Tottenham and they respect that. That in itself shows how much I think about the club. It's not the attitude of a player who couldn't care less, who throws in the towel at the first opportunity. I still believe Tottenham can be a very successful club, that we can move forward and challenge the top teams for honours. I'm as ambitious as the next player. I want to win the Premiership and I want success in Europe but, most of all, I want to believe I can achieve that here." 17/12/2000 Campbell responding to speculation linking him with a move to Spurs' arch rivals Arsenal: "Being a Spurs fan as a boy and a player for so many years, it would be hard to sign for Arsenal. I don't think the fans here would ever forgive me." 01/01/2001 Sol Campbell: "I want to play for Tottenham, that's it really. I am going nowhere. I've been here for so long and for me to do well at this club means everything. When you look at Tottenham, the talent is unbelievable, the stadium's lovely and all the ingredients are there." 05/01/2001 The defender talking after making his contract demands: "The ball’s in their court now. I’ve laid my cards down and it’s their move now. It means so much for me to do well for Tottenham than go somewhere else. I’m happy here and willing to do business now. For me I love the game of football and I’ll keep on playing football for Tottenham, but there’s a lot of things that have to be sorted out off the field. The main thing is to get the club in good order and moving in the right direction and whatever happens after that, happens after that. I’m not selfish, I’m looking at the current situation and I want the club to do well." 16/01/2001 Campbell's former Spurs team-mate, Steffen Freund: "I think that he will move. That is my feeling. I hope for the supporters, the club and the team that he stays and plays for Tottenham over the next few years but I am honest and I think he will change. If he stays here it is a dream for me and the club but if he moves I can understand that. He is a world-class player and if he changes to a bigger club we have to accept it." 18/01/2001 George Graham talking about the contracts situation at White Hart Lane: "I've already said I want Sol, Darren (Anderton) and Les (Ferdinand) to stay. I just wish Sol, especially, would commit himself one way or the other and bring us a bit of much-needed stability. I've spoken to him but I've still got no idea what he'll do and I can't influence him." 18/01/2001 Bayern Munich managing director, Uli Hoeness, responding to speculation linking the German club with the defender: "I have to say that we have made no contact with him, but he is certainly an outstanding player." 01/03/2001 Bayern vice-president, Karl-Heinz Rummenigge commenting on Bayern's interest in Campbell: "We're hoping that it will happen, but with a player of his class you're never alone." & Sol Campbell: "It's news to me. I've had no approach from Bayern and I don't know anything about the rumours." 04/03/2001 Celtic manager, Martin O'Neill commenting on his interest in the England international: "We might not be every player's cup of tea. You have to consider what a player might want for himself. Someone like Sol Campbell will have choices not only of a number of clubs, but a number of leagues across Europe. But that is what we must be aspiring to. The fact that they might say 'Its not for me at this particular time' wouldn't prevent me asking about the likes of that standard of player. I'm not afraid of getting knockbacks. I've had plenty of them in my time. I'm looking to get a few players in for next year, and because I'm only going to have a month to do it, I already have a list of out-of-contract players." 11/03/2001 Campbell giving his opinion on his situation: "If it was just about money I could have left some time ago. There have been numerous occasions when I could have just walked away if all I wanted to do was take the first big pay cheque. Salaries are secondary. I'm all too aware I have to pay bills like everyone else, but it's the ambition of Spurs and where we are going that concerns me. I have the right to keep my options open. Nobody can blame me for wanting success and above all wanting it at Tottenham. But talk is cheap. A reputation by name is one thing, trophies in a cabinet are another." 13/03/2001 Arsenal manager, Arsene Wenger: "I believe that if Sol Campbell is available and free, he would interest the 20 clubs in the Premier League - I hope minus Tottenham. He's a great player but so far he has come out himself and said he will stay at Tottenham. What can I do? I don't know whether what we can offer will make a difference.That's up to Sol to decide. He has said he will try to find an agreement with Tottenham, and we will respect that. It's difficult to say how interested we'd be if he didn't reach that agreement." 26/03/2001 Sol Campbell: "Over the next week or two I'll be meeting with the new owners (of Tottenham) and there will be discussions about different situations at Tottenham Hotspur. They want to be successful so we've got to talk and see where we want to go as a club. These things take time. You can't rush them. I've had a couple of talks already and things so far have been positive. I'm not looking to move if they convince me about the future. Whether or not a new manager is in place is not a big thing for me. As long as the club is healthy and things are in place, then myself and other players will want to join Tottenham or continue with them. I want to stay at Tottenham." 28/03/2001 Les Ferdinand reacting to rumours linking him with a Bosman move to Celtic: "It's news to me. I certainly haven't heard anything from Celtic. In any case, why would I want to go - I love it here. I want to finish my career at Spurs. But I'm 34 now and I have to get a deal that's right for me. It's not just the Sol Campbells of this world who want to find out about the club's ambition, I do too. It would be nice to know that this club still wants to go for the best players." 01/04/2001 Sol Campbell: "I'm tired of being second. I want to win things with club and country. The situation is not just about me. As a club we have to move forward. And I'm sure Glenn Hoddle is not coming here to be second best. Glenn Hoddle coming here is a positive move. It's what the fans want and the owners have gone out and got him. It seems they want to do the best thing for Tottenham. But we have to win things and move on. There is still a lot of sorting out to be done, but I am sure it will be resolved. There are other things I have to think about that I can't go into. But I think Glenn is a great organiser and manager. He has done wonders at Southampton and they play some decent football." 08/04/2001 Former West Ham manager, Harry Redknapp talking about his attempts to sign Campbell: "I spoke to Sol's advisors very recently but they haven't got back to me. I would be very keen to get the boy as I've always said that this club has to make a couple of major signings in the summer." 13/04/2001 Sol Campbell: "I will leave it (the contract) as late as possible - but I am happy at the moment and that's the main thing. We have got to have a few more meetings to talk about the situation. Maybe it will be before the last game of the season but who knows. There are a few more meetings planned. We are all going to sit down to talk." 19/04/2001 Leeds United chairman, Peter Ridsdale reacting to speculation linking Campbell with a move to Elland Road: "We have made no transfer plans for the close season apart from the Robbie Keane deal with Inter Milan, which should be considered as done. First we have to wait until we see what competition we are in in Europe before David and I sit down and discuss what we want to do as far as our squad is concerned." 22/04/2001 Former West Ham United manager, Harry Redknapp: "I spoke to Campbell's agent and said I'd give Sol ￡60,000 a week for four years, but he said, 'No, Harry, he's gonna get that anyway'. I have a feeling he'll go to Arsenal." --------(待续)----------- --
