Samba wants out still

Samba handed in a transfer request earlier this month but has been told he is going nowhere.

Samba told The Sun: “I signed a new deal last January because Venky’s told me they had big plans. Names like Ronaldinho were mentioned and they promised there was going to be a lot of investment in the team. It hasn’t happened.

“They don’t understand football in this country and they don’t realise how much I’ve given to Blackburn and that they have broken promises they have made. I stayed because I believed them but they weren’t honest with me and now I know I made the wrong decision. I share the frustration of the fans who must have believed the owners too.”
