Chris Samba - SIGNED
« on: February 21, 2017, 10:37:48 PM »
Apologies beforehand if posted on any other threads.

Apparently training with us according to Meaning Evil.

Got realeased by Panathinaikos last month. Has had 'complicated' knee problems in the past.

Recently had trial with Palace but wasn't offered a deal.

If he can kick it out amongst the calamitous six yard box free for all we saw last night or head it out when needed maybe he might be worth a short term deal. Can he be any worse than Elphick?

Mods feel free to move if necessary.

Remember him? Well he's training with the Villa according to John Percy.
Christ I thought he'd retired.

You beat me to it. Bruce must be pulling his hair out watching our defence balls up every week but this seems a bit desperate. Then again it's desperate times.

He is only 32.  If he has one knee shot he would still be better than Elphick.

Desperate, yes, but he's physical and would add a bit of steel - and would keep Elphick further from the team I guess.

If we are going down the route of signing free agents, surely a striker or a goalkeeper would be the priority over Chris Samba?
