Chris Samba - SIGNED

[brian green]

He will be lucky not to get his collar felt.

I used to work with a Blackburn fan and he hated Samba, said he was great in the air and would tackle things in front of him all day but had no mobility and got caught out far too easily by people running in behind him.  I can't imagine the injury problems he's had will have done anything to improve that.

Not to mention that he left them as a 27 year old. The 32 year old version probably needs wheeling around the pitch on a trolley.

True, he used to get really angry when anyone mentioned him because most people only saw him on motd and thought he was brilliant and that Blackburn were really lucky to have been able to keep him.  I heard that 2-3 times and the rant that followed was brilliant.

That goalie from Sutton is a free agent aswell better snap him up pronto.

We could play a fat back four and keeper.

The goals we let in at the moment are not due to nifty forwards skinning our central defenders.  Their down to our defenders not being able to clear the ball, or block, or preempt danger, lack of marking and kicking the ball in or own net.

Carew used to bully him ridiculously, he used to wilt at the sight of him.

mind you the best bullying Carew ever did is on Cahill when Bolton came to VP. That was a destruction.

In which case, sticking thus-far-competent-this-season Nathan Baker back there rather than the Tommy Elphick Vaudeville Theatre would probably be a pretty easy solution?

I agree, our defensive problems are down to 2 things, lack of organisation and no one taking responsibility.  Adding a new central defender with injury problems to the mix seems like a really bad idea.

I know I don't get  to too many games these times but, I think that was the last time I witnessed the Villa win whilst I was there.

What, to share a pie or two with Gabby?

[PaulTheVillan]

Samba even played up front a few times for Blackburn. :|

He's no Dion Dublin.
