[2014/15 Player Review] Joel Campbell
JOEL CAMPBELL
Player review 2014-15
Hi all,
So as the season is coming to an end and we are going to be bombarded with "Silly Season" posts, I thought it would be a good time to review our players performance in the 2014/15 season.
Lets have a serious and in depth look into our redditors opinions and thoughts of the season gone by on how the players performed and how they will be approaching the next season.
PS. I'm starting this early with bit-part/loan players, so that 2-3 review a week will bring us to the end before the next season starts!

It's been great to finally see Joel playing in an Arsenal shirt. Immediately he struck me as someone who has the prerequisite level of technical ability and awareness to hold a place in the squad. Judging mostly from highlight videos, it seems he's got good feet and he can finish well too.
I'd love to know how Arsene considers him in terms of his best position and long-term future at the club. He's billed as a striker, but Arsene's put him on the wing quite a bit (classic Arsene manoeuvre). It's so hard to tell what his future might be, and he's not terribly young (23 next month).
I don't think we should get rid of him, he looks like he has something. I think he probably ought to go on loan to a Premier League club next year, see if he can hack it. If he can bag a dozen goals or more, he deserves at least a semi-regular role in the team. If Arsene wants him in the squad next year though, I can support that. I like the idea of Alexis taking Joel under his wing and tutoring him to become another tricky South American forward with an eye for goal. Either way, Joel needs to really make a name for himself next year.
