Seems to me that Samba has been a great opportunity by the club and he has got his head down, trained hard and proved himself.
No problems with this.

Good luck Chris.

A big fuck off centre half dominating the opposition will be like welcoming back a long lost friend.

Without the stupid post-stroking histrionics of his predecessor, it might be quite a relief to have someone who just likes twatting any fucker in his path.  I approve.

Seems like a smart signing.

Assuming we're not planning on keeping six centre halves this surely means Elpnick and/or Richards is off.

Unless Bruce is planning to go to three at the back, I don't see Samba as anything but back up so don't really have any issues with his signing.

I also approve, which will no doubt be of great interest to the Villa hierarchy.

Decent signing, on a year's deal we have little to lose.

He's forgotten more than Baker had learned so will do for me.

Looks like he's put his head down and earned his contract so welcome Chris. Hopefully Samba can become our Simba.

As has been said its likely that he is there for back up. 1 up 5 minutes to go, and we bring on the big man to play alongside Chester and Terry, with Jedinak likely to be also involved. it would take a good team to break that down.

He's been here, what, 5 months getting fit? He must surely be in the shape of his life now.

His physical presence should keep Terry on the straight and ecumenical.  Should be some good handbags to look forward to in the coming season with the claret and blue ones being swung by Samba, the Beard of Doom, Hutton and Whelan.

This is a decent signing. We've understandably took our time over it, he's got himself fit and should hopefully be a clever addition.

'Taken' Clampy, we've understandably 'taken' our time.
