Quote from: TaxDodger on February 22, 2017, 09:09:39 AMDon'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.My exact words. Thanks for saving me the trouble of typing them.

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.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.

The problem for me is that our club is losing millions (I will guess that this season we will make the biggest ever loss in Championship history) and yet we are prepared to pay out another PENSION salary to a player who is coming to the end of his career, why could we not play one of our reserve team players.Also I thought that Richards was a definite starter when fit according to Bruce, so does that mean it will be Richards and Samba at centre half for the remainder of the season??

Honestly, what makes you possibly think that?
I doubt that Samba would sign unless he was told he was playing and Bruce did say that Richards was a certainty to start when fit
