midian Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 John Percy saying Chris Samba training with us as he is a free agent have we really got that desperate?

VillaChris Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 I wanted him when he was at Blackburn. That was years ago now though so no idea what state he's in nowadays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zatman Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 the 2017 version of Lescott Emir Spahic would be a better free agent option though Bruce has probably never heard of him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thabucks Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 (edited) Short term pay as you play til end of the season could be inspired ?! Or calamitous Edited February 21, 2017 by thabucks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kuwabatake Sanjuro Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 Only 32 but injuries lost him his contract at Panathinaikos according to wikipedia. Could probably do a job still if we are defending deep and playing for draws and he is a mercenary so he should fit in well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is the problem with our defending at the moment, we are defending too deep Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sne Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 He's so slow! Never been quick, but over the last few years it's gotten ridiculous. Not that I've seen him a lot, only the odd Europa Cup game and a few times at QPR, but he's gotten notably slower each time. Just for fun I checked his stats at FIFA 17 and he has 30 acceleration & sprint speed compared to Lescott's 37/40. And just like Lescott he recently got released from a Greek club for not being able to perform. Just no Bruce. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

a m ole Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 **** it, what's Cherno Samba up to? How about Samba King Ronaldinho? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sne Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 Only way I can make sense of this is if Bruce is going to use him in the Adebayo Akinfenwa role now that Hogan and possibly Kodija is out injured. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodders0223 Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 Has to be a joke surely? Looked on his last legs at QPR and that has to have been about 3 years ago. Middle age spread and all that... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KSV Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 (edited) This is why I was so in for getting a new CB in January. We lack a physical presence. This guy is past his best but we need someone till the end of the season. He knows the league..Think hed do ok with Chester. Richards must be crocked to not be picked.

John Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 (edited) He was top quality once but that has been a few years ago now. If we are having a look at him then he has an opportunity to impress us and we can then choose to sign or not to sign him for the rest of the season depending on that. I don't have a problem with us having a look at him in training. Edited February 21, 2017 by John 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
