Chris Samba - SIGNED

[eamonn]

Do we have any young centre-backs comfortable with the ball? That kid that won with England in the summer? Or the fella from Bury?

[mr underhill]

it's all gone very dark on the Bury boy - is he still with us?

[Risso]

He got used to actual game speed by the second half and looked ok. Probably didn't help being a massive bloke on that surface.

So he'll be OK as long as we're playing division 4 standard teams when it isn't raining.  Great.

Yep that's exactly what I said 🙄

[mr underhill]

really looking forward to seeing him play on a hot dry day.

Next July at the earliest,then.

Yep. He's back-up at best and hasn't played regularly for ages so will be rusty.  When you look at some of the bobbins we have paid money for and can't get rid of, then taking a punt on him doing a job for us for 12 months is hardly a major risk

Problem is as the season goes on and Terry struggles to make the midweek games after playing the weekend one (we've got quite a few of our harder fixtures in midweek this season).

Samba is first in line. When we signed him I assumed he'd be fourth choice behind Baker. We need another CB imo and would imagine it will happen when Elphick is sold.

[LeeB]

Jedinak and De Laet can play centre half too.

[London Villan]

Have we got any kids that can step in as option number 4 or 5?

I'm sure that I say him play in at least one of the pre-season games

Not difficult to solve. Unless Terry has a clause in his contract saying that he has to be allowed to go midweek shopping in London.

If that is the case we could always play Terry in the 'harder' midweek games and leave him out of the 'easier' weekend ones. 

[aj2k77]

He will be up front in a minute, seeing as we have no fucking strikers on the bench today.

Bruce moron.

Good weather prediction.

Is he still here then, contract ran out end of June I'd imagine? If we sell Chester as well that just leaves Elphick.

[Tom_Mc9?]

Richards can play centre back when he's not starring in hilarious, banter-filled Christmas videos.
