Apparently, Sky sports oh so reliable sources have said that QPR have bid £5m for Samba.

If that is accepted we should be in for him at that price.

Depends what the salary package is. I suspect that QPR are paying silly wages at the moment.

Any more guesses?

Wasn't it the "national team record goalscorer" then ?

I'd say at least half the PL would be saying the same thing.

I don't think he'd play much under Trappatoni (sic) anyway. He prefers a defensive midfielder.

Play a team with 5 international captains at one time or another?  Given, Dunne, Keane, Petrov, Collins at a guess.

Just noticed, if Beye and Makoun come back off loan we could field a team with 11 different nationalities.

Used to be a time when Villa fielded most of the Irish team. It's back to basics.
Birmingham had more paid Paddy workers than the whole of the Republic back then, and most chose to support the Villa even though a good lot of them lived in Sparkhill! I wonder why?

Didn't realize Luiz Suarez posted on here

Could we field a team with 11 different nationalities and a British Isles team?
