Oh Christ. More bad news.....

[stainrodisalegend]

Bizarre that he has only just been included in a reserve match now - why hasn't he been all season to keep up his fitness levels? He is being paid enough!

If he plays anything like to his ability he is an extremely good Championship player. Problem with him is all about his head, not his feet...

[qpr4life]

why is that bad? Since when was Samba a bad player?

Sick note, maybe.. bad player???? NO.

Fella's a wrong un. Had one OK game- Arsenal in March/ April 2012- since then has been absolutely and totally pants: West Ham last season (second half sub sent off following two yellows); Swindon this season.... Has played one game- Swindon- in a year. And he hasn't been freaking injured!!!!! A wrong un who ought be got rid of, not played.

Fair enough.

Samba was injured and had an operation I believe pre season (Harry Mentioned this)

Still, IMO I rate the guy. Just sh1t at tackling haha

If what has been written about him in the past is true, the poor fella has had a few mental problems......so for someone to call him a wrong un is a bit over the top under those circumstances.......imo! The guy needs to be cut some slack if he has had these issues.

To quote you, 'who cares its only football at the end of the day'.

Exactly right.........and this is a persons mental health and wellbeing, if rumours are to be believed, I am talking about here.
Far more important than how many games he has or has not played for QPR and how he played in those games. Who cares about that, when the fella is not well!!!

How do know he won't be good in the championship? Faurlin didn't have too many good games last year, played terrible vs Swindon this season but still managed to get his way into the side.

Diakite had plenty of good games in his first season when he was here on loan, so we know there's a good player in there somewhere. A bit reckless and sometimes struggles with the pace of the game but he's only played 20 odd games in english football, still adapting here.

Can't tackle , ill disciplined, no positional sense, no football brain, liability and unrealiable

Other than that he is great

[Ginger Ninja]

Can i say hes rubbish and ive only seen him play well once, without people thinking im digging him out because of his problems?

All the highlighted are related to the same thing.

AS I SAID, he cant tackle very well.. May have settled down now.

The football brain and positional sense are just random comments IMO - nothing to back it up..

There is a lot of convenient selective memory going on here. I was delighted when he actually signed for us having been in on loan before that. I recall him being a bit of a lose cannon but was excellent at travelling with the ball and I for one would love to see him given a chance again.

Agree. I can understand why w12 thinks it will be a disaster waiting to happen but I think you hit the nail on the head. He is the only player in our whole squad that will carry it. This season we have been very passive but in a 5 man midfield with covet and let him play more offensive I think he can be effective. The comparison with m.bia is that they are african but that's it fot me. Diakite has ability whereas mbia is just a liability
