CHRISTOPHER SAMBA HAS handed in a transfer request at Blackburn Rovers, after manager Steve Kean said that the defender would not be sold this January.
The 27-year-old has threatened to leave in the past, only to sign fresh terms, but now says that he wishes to ‘pursue a new challenge.’
Rovers captain Samba has been linked with Arsenal, Tottenham and QPR in the past, with Mark Hughes known to be a fan of the giant stopper.
“I have today officially requested a transfer from Blackburn Rovers Football Club,” Samba said in a statement.
“I have personally informed the owners, manager and executives at the club that I want to leave in this transfer window.
“In my 5 years at Blackburn Rovers Football Club I have always given 100 per cent in every game I have played. I have had several opportunities to leave but I have always stayed.
“I have decided now is the right time for me to pursue a new challenge and I have asked the club to respect my decision and allow me to leave. I thank the fans for their support and I hope they feel I have served them and their club well.”
Stunning stuff. Technique and finish was as good as you will see. All done by the PL top scorer
Don’t forget who put the ball on his foot!! Rooney!! :)
V true. Had a great game
Any chance ye have a goal we can actually see?
RVP is a class player. Delighted united signed him
Can’t see anyone challenging Utd for a few years to come.
Other than Chelsea and City I think you’re right!
Chelsea? Really? Really? Really? They are a shambles!!
And City Have the talent but not the squad debth or manager?
City have great players but they are are terrrible team. Maybe if they got jose in this summer, but if they stick with mancini they won’t go far!
Its as easy as foundation maths
CHAMPIONS 20! RUB IT UP YA
Great. Thanks for nothing.
That is such a good goal. One of the best I’ve ever seen, connects with the ball so sweetly. Last season he was my favourite player this year I despise him and the little boy inside too. But oh god how I miss him. Jealousy is a cruel cruel mistress. Well done to United. Won it in style in fairness. There’s always next season
