Chris Samba - SIGNED

[David_Nab]

The story goes that Richards knees are not up to 2 games a week so Bruce decided not to use him at all , and instead added to the wage bill Samba who managed a grand total of 8 appearances ..which is not surprising as in the 2 years before joining us he made a grand total of 6 appearances

Chris was only ever back-up though. Might have played a bit more but I think he was grateful we took him on at all.

I was led to believe Samba was on a pay if you play deal.

Even if not, i'd rather have had him sat on the bench with both legs in plaster than Richards.

A pay as you play deal sounds far to reasonable for us to have given him ...

Samba - I'll take 10k a week
Wyness - No problem here's 20k

Isn't that a riff on the Peter Ridsdale, Seth Johnson and the aquarium story?

Does it involve Steve Guppy?

Or Peter Haddock?

All I can remember of Samba is a massive clearance/kick he did in a match and his leg kind of created a sonic boom that knocked a player over. At least that's how I remember it. Cant remember the game.

i think I remember him scoring one, but I'm trying to forget everything Villa at the moment.I want to wake up this time next year to discover we're still here.

You're just angling for information

[mr underhill]

Well, I'm hooked on this one

[Toronto Villa]

Why is he still here?
