Christopher Samba Information
Full Name: Christopher Veijeany Samba
Club: Blackburn Rovers
Position: CB
Value: 400k - Can be bought for as little as 700k
Contract: £20,000 per week until 30.06.2012
D.O.B: 28.03.1984
Nationality: Congo DR (Born in France so has a second nationality of French)
Languages: French, German & English (basic)
Reputation: National
Personality: Balanced
Squad Status: Important first team player In Real Life
Struggling to break into the first team he was invited by Mark Hughes to undertake a five-day trial at Blackburn Rovers, eventually signing a three and a half year deal for £400,000 on January 25, 2007. He made his Rovers debut against Luton Town in the FA Cup 4th Round, as a 69th minute sub for Ryan Nelsen and his Premiership debut on January 31 against Chelsea. His first start for the club came in the home encounter against Sheffield United on February 3, 2007, a game Rovers won 2–1 with an injury time free kick from Morten Gamst Pedersen. Although he already played for Hertha Berlin in the UEFA Cup, Samba was eligible to play for Blackburn in European competitions. Samba scored his first goal at Ewood Park against West Ham on March 17, 2007.
Despite having been born in France, Samba represents the Congo national football team at the international level. Samba has made 20 caps for Congo DR. In FM08: On FM08 Samba is a very reliable defender, as well as being a very relaible goalscorer, if you are using the corner trick that is. Samba has very good stats for a defender, he is great at heading, marking, tackling, jumping, strength and positioning. You will see this in the spoiler below as I have given you a screenshot of Samba's attributes. Strengths
Samba is very good at being the aggressive defender that every striker fears, however he uses this aggression to benefit his game and rarely gets booked or sent off. If you use the 'corner trick' and use Samba to the right effect he will net tonnes of goals for you. Weaknesses
Samba doesn't really have any weaknesses. However if I was to pick one, it would be how he handles himself off the ball. If you set Samba to zonal marking, his 'Off the ball' attribute is not very good so he doesnt really know what hes doing. It is therefore better to set Samba to man-marking. Conclusion
To conclude; I believe Samba to be a very good signing for any team. He will happily sign for most Prem sides meaning he is a must-have at only 700k or there abouts. I have also found out that Samba plays better in the French league, I found this out when I managed Lyon. I don't know if this was a coincidence because of his French second nationality or a one-off on my game.

I found the trick. Sakho is now my top scorer this season and bought Richards in especially for it. Unfortunately Samba isnt quite as good as these two | | | | | | | 20-06-08, 02:10 PM | #18 (permalink) | | Backup To The First Team Join Date: Apr 2008 Location: I love meself a good refridgerator Posts: 249 Thanks: 32 Thanked 24 Times in 23 Posts Nominated 0 Times in 0 Posts TOTW/F/M Award(s): 0 |
good guide, i think his price rose drastically though in 8.0.2, i forgot, or was it just that his performance was good enough to get a 4mil pounds price tag? nevertheless, good guide |
 Thx a lot Ap My FM08 is lost and the old one in the computer got broken (no player reports and scouting reports for me). Can't wait for 2009 to come out.
