Chris Samba [unattached - Aston Villa] is this the same guy who was mint a few years ago,was a great defender who every one wanted at that time. must have went downhill quick
Didn't he go to Russia for the cash, seem to remember he was subjected to loads of racial abuse from those nice Russian fans. He was being touted by another club the other day just can't remember who. Would worry about his fitness levels.
Samba was a beast. But I never thought he was a top defender. Just a big classy lump who had one good season! He'll now prove me wrong and be mint!!!
Was great at Blackburn, huge threat at set pieces, all went down hill after he left them. Remember a couple of pundits saying 'Well, QPR's defensive worrys are over, that's then staying up' when redknapp took over and bought samba in. They were relegated 5 months later.
That'll make them the oldest centre half pairing in the Championship, hardly investing in youth is Mr Bruce.
33 and been riddled with injury the last couple of seasons including a Herniated Disc injury on his vertabrate which kept him out almost a year.
On his day he's a beast of a defender, would love to have seen him in a red & white shirt, I bet he's immense for villa
