Legend in the making

I'd say more of a cult hero in the making.

He does basic stuff very well. A great back up for Chester or Terry

Does seem odd he was a free agent for so long and no one else picked him up

I think he played in Greece last season.

On the official site it says welcome to "Samba", whereas the other new signings are welcomed as "Glenn" and "Elmo"
All a bit impersonal - couldn't the editor spell Chris?

Fair to say that if either Terry or Chester aren't on the ball then the brick shithouse is more than capable of fitting in. Great signing by the looks of it.

Has looked good in all pre season games so far. I doubt any other championship club has this level of quality as 3rd/4th choice CB.

Squad depth is very impressive this year.

I've still got massive reservations personally. I fear he would get run absolutely ragged by any of the Championships less traditional type strikers who play on the floor

But as a go to reserve option with Baker he shouldn't need to be used too often

he won't play if Chester, Terry and Baker are fit.

He's 33 right? That's really not unusually old for a centre back
