SAMBA ON TRIAL Former QPR defender Chris Samba is currently on trial at Aston Villa. Steve Bruce's side are taking on Walsall this evening - and Samba is partnering John Terry at the back.
Sounds like a high risk sick-note; not sure this is worth the gamble. We could be in a relegation fight and a sick-note will put us further in danger unfortunately.
Not sure he's more than a one season wonder to be honest. We're desperate for a signing, but this one doesn't fill me with confidence. He just got his first call up and international game. For me he looks untidy and flukes quite a lot of his goals. He's top scorer in an increasingly poor league, can't remember the Norwegian top flight this poor. The top scorer from our league would normally be a good bet, but not these last couple of seasons, especially this one. Sorry for the bad news, would absolutely love to be proved wrong though. Admittedly I have not seen him play enough as I just can't be bothered at the moment with the Norwegian football, mainly down to the poor standard.
Never followed QPR because of quality/standard It runs much deeper than shallow reasons like that I know we're skint and need to spend our dough wisely. But it's not much you get in England for £2m. Asambalonga cost what, £14m?! Ffs even Washington cost more than £2m. Could be we get lucky with him. He seems the right sort for what it's worth.
Of great validity, my son played against him a lot about 10 years ago! Said he was strong and excellent technically, he played CB or central midfield back then, so he must be just right for Ollie who likes players who he can play anywhere.
Agreed. I was being sarcastic. Hopefully we have a championship equivalent of the class of 92 and Hollers can be our Alex Ferguson.
