Chris Samba - SIGNED

[Des Little]

Just a pity Coventry pipped us to Yakubu really.

[QuintonVilla]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

[Boz]

The rest of the clubs in the Championship must be looking at Villa and thinking we are now so desperate to be contemplating injury plagued free transfers no body else wants, the club's ripe for the taking as we continue to descend even lower.

Is this a last throw of the dice for Bruce?

[mattjpa]

All I know is despite me wishing we had more people with Tommy Elphicks attitude, he has personally played a part in 3-4 goals conceded in the last month and missed 2 really good opportunities to score. Cant be bothered to look through the facts but I would imagine that may have cost us 5-7 points. For whatever reason, we dont have the player bournemouth had and he needs to be dropped. It hasnt worked out here im afraid.

If Samba comes in and does a job for a few games that will do for me

[UK Redsox]

I assume that Micah's going to be out long term then

[chrisw1]

He's only training with us at the moment.  If he looks good in training I can't see why people are so averse to us having an extra option, assuming it is a sensible pay as you play deal or the like.  It's not like we have an abundance of riches in defence is it?

[TaxDodger]

Don't see what the issue is if he comes in as cover on a pay as you play until the end of the season. He's not going to be starting ahead of Baker and Chester and he's unlikely to be any worse than Elphick or Richards.

[andyh]

If I remember rightly, he's a massive fucker.
Maybe we are going to start a heavyweight fight club with him and Micah. 

[mr underhill]

you mean a sort of 'my balls are bigger than yours, motherfucker' type way?

[olaftab]

I assume that Micah's going to be out long term then

Yes unfortunately that bruise on his little finger is going to take some fixing. It's about 1/4 inch in length so nothing trivial.

[olaftab]

By the way I heard from a good source that the big lad has been hired to provide personal security for Bruce so not able to help us on the pitch.

[Nelly]

I guess we need all the help we can get in defence. It's clearly not working so far. Welcome to Villa, Mr Samba.

[frank black]

If he can clear a ball more than 10 yards from a set piece then it's an improvement on our lot

[kingstanding villa]

I don,t care where he has come from as long as he can defend. He might be the leader on the pitch we need on the other hand he might be just be like the other tossers robbing a living off us. Welcome Chris.

My exact words. Thanks for saving me the trouble of typing them.
