Chris Samba - SIGNED

[PeterWithesShin]

He was decent about 8 years ago. He was wank at QPR 4 or 5 years ago, and was amusingly costing them a reported £100K a week. I have my doubts that he's improved since then.

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

The defence is a fuckin nightmare though.

[Dave]

Hell, why not.

It's not like he's gonna make things worse, is it?

[PeterWithe]

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

If it he'd actually been shot he'd still be better than Elphick.

Maybe our kit sponsors can sort something out on that score. Too soon?

[Bad English]

Samba eh? It will be just like watching Brazil.

How much are we spunking on this useless has been cnut?

[PeterWithesShin]

He's played 10 games in 18 months and had this "but the transfer fell through, with Trabzonspor manager Shota Arveladze commenting: "This is not the Samba I know, this is some kind of Mike Tyson. I need a football player, not a heavyweight boxer."

We'll give him a 5 year deal.

[olaftab]

Well well if he is the answer to our defensive issues then surely Michael Ricketts will fix our attacking problems.

[Risso]

Hell, why not.

If there's one thing you can gurantee at Villa, is that just when you think things have hit rock bottom, they find new and enterprising ways to make things even worse.

Our inability to clear our lines is inexplicably woeful. As such this move is not really surprising. If he comes in and plays in 2 or 3 wins to keep us up I am all for it. Our defence is panic stricken and shaky.

[cdbearsfan]

Can he played straight away? Not that I'm hugely keen on the idea, but a deal until the end of the season might not be a disastrous gamble.

If we are signing him this Summer, then I'd hope better options are available.

[PeterWithe]

Only played six times this season due to injury apparently.

The final piece in our jigsaw.

[Louzie0]

Welcome, Chris.
