No change there then

it's down to you Samba, you've got the talent, make it happen

[CincyHoop]

I'd have no qualms with playing him at RB. Physical, Strong and with the lack of talent/depth there. I'd give him a go.

Lol, very good player, some of the turns he was making on Sunday with the ball where silky!

[bakes8]

He has talent but is as mad as a box of frogs. If he can show he's more disciplined than before he will have a shot.

Should play centre midfield only

Not sure it would be safe to play him at RB! I've recently thought that if you put him further up the field and took away some of the defensive duties (i.e tackling in general) from his game he'd be a real asset. He's much better going forward than he is defending.

For attitude alone, he deserves a chance. He wants to be here and he has the ability. It's up to him to ensure when he is given a chance he doesnt go and do something silly.

He can stay and fight for his place on the bench.

Ale and Mass have that central pairing laid down!!

I think you are spot on with playing him further up the field. He is very good at running at players with the ball from what I recall from his 'loan' spell at QPR.

Agree, maybe if Phillips goes he can slot in there?

OK Mr Ramsey!

True though

[West Acton]

Think people go way over the top about his tackling!!! One of the best players this country has ever produced could not tackle and was always chopping people down aka Paul Scholes. Difference is Samba got red cards for his tackles which highlighted his eagerness to get stuck in had he not got the reds no one would be talking about it

He needs someone to put their arm round him and teach him the game as the raw ability and talent is there but he wants to win the ball at every opportunity but the learning is knowing when to win it and when to stand off; thats all that is missing. But at QPR in recent years we don't coach that's plain to see from has been served up (Hoillett another example makes the same mistakes game after game, caulker made same mistakes etc)

Sounds just like SWP and Traore. I bet Ramsey wants to get rid of him.
