If this is true would it be a good swap deal, ive seen campo play on a few occasions and he looks like a strong player, but is he what we want?
Cheeky b@stards bolton turnin down 600.000 for Diouf in this swap deal he isnt worth 5 pence :glare: .

Liverpool look to Campo
By Sam Wallace  (Filed: 02/12/2004)

Liverpool manager Rafael Benitez will try to offload controversial striker El-Hadji Diouf in a swap deal with Bolton Wanderers' former Spanish international Ivan Campo during next month's transfer window.

   
Ivan Campo: target of Liverpool boss Rafael Benitez
Diouf, who has been on loan at Bolton since the summer, is serving a three-game ban after admitting spitting at Portsmouth's Arjan de Zeeuw last weekend, an incident which brought widespread condemnation of the Senegal international. It is understood that Liverpool have already made an approach for Campo, 30, and have told Bolton that they would be prepared to give them Diouf as well as around £600,000 but have so far been turned down.

Benitez is concerned that any injuries to his central defensive pairing of Sami Hyypia and Jamie Carragher could be catastrophic and would like Campo to play in defence rather than the midfield role that Sam Allardyce favours him in. The Bolton manager has told Campo, who has suffered injury problems this season, that he would like the player to see out his contract, which lasts until 2006. However, Campo favours a move to Liverpool to play under Benitez.

The Liverpool manager is restricted in his transfer dealings by the club's limited transfer funds. Although he was given £10.5 million to spend on Xabi Alonso in the summer, the club's board will struggle to furnish him with much more in January.

The fact he's spanish hasn't got anything to do with it, rubbish if you ask me. Just shows the standard of journalism in this country is nothing short of scandelous.

*states the obvious* :D

There may be some truth in this rumour though, yesterday in the prematch interview with rafa he said 5 times NO to Diouf coming back in january and the end of the season.

Agree with you Cisse
A few times I've seen Campo - he's not looked too bad - can't be just about looking decent in an average side - cause Bolton seemed to have got better & better over the last few years
Mind you - I've also watched him & thought he was a dirty GET as well
Might be an element of truth in it - given the Diouf situation - not sure about the Finance they are talking about - I don't know what Campo would be worth (taking account of his age etc)
Can't ever see him replacing any of first team - nor looking at our young lads coming through for that matter
o who bloody knows
press have always got to have something to write about

Campo is a disaster as a centre half. Midfield suits him more.

I woudnt want him myself dont really think he would be an improvement on what we have got id rather plar Igor or one of the youngsters then him, but if it means getting diouf of the books it might be worth doing cos Campo's wages will be no way near Dioufs I would imagine
