Now that is bizarre. I thought he wanted to get out due to black players being unpopular over there. He also said something about being away from his family as well. Oh well, it's his choice, but yes, his agent must be as happy as a pig in shit.

Its bizarre that samba has gone back after he was quoted as hating it there, sure the 100K a week changed his mind.

It just seems like a really dodge deal has taken place. Why would someone pay 12m for samba twice??
He was already on 100k a, week.He probably gets more now due to Russia's tax laws but I think it was probably the arriving on fee that swung it.

QPR dodged a bullet, no way can a championship club sustain a 100k a week player.

All the money in the world cannot make you happy if you don't have your family - I have no plans to go back to Russia" Samba, C, March 2013

QPR will miss him, for sure, but when they don't use the best back four anyway, they deserved to get relegated. Mixing Samba with Hill is not a great combination. They did not see that, and that was actually one of the reasons why they did not manage to stay in the Premier League. A few other strange combinations as well, of course.
