Think it's kind of a waste for him to drop down so far. And Notts C presumably paying pretty high wages to get him.

EXCLUSIVE: Sol Campbell in talks with Notts County
ENGLAND international Sol Campbell was last night in Nottingham locked in talks about a move to League Two Notts County.
The former Tottenham, Arsenal and Portsmouth central defender met with director of football Sven Goran-Eriksson and executive chairman Peter Trembling at Hart's restaurant, in Standard Hill, in the city centre.
He arrived at the hotel about at 7.15pm before the Post captured him walking across to the restaurant, with Eriksson yards behind.
Trembling arrived minutes later before the group headed into a private meeting in the restaurant to discuss a deal.
Campbell, a free agent, still harbours hopes of making England's World Cup squad for South Africa next year.
That could prove the huge sticking point in any deal being struck, with other clubs in the Premiership, Championship and abroad chasing the signature of the star defender.
But the 34-year-old has proved his interest in a move to League Two by travelling up to Nottingham for talks and to hear the ambitious vision of new Magpies owners Munto Finance.
Campbell played for England under Eriksson during his whole reign as international manager and they formed a close relationship.
And Eriksson is hopeful of pulling off the biggest deal for a player in the history of the world's oldest football league club by landing Campbell.
But the defender wants time to think over what is likely to be the final move of his successful career.
A Notts County spokesman declined to comment last night.
