#8 Christopher Samba to QPR
Christopher Samba developed into this beast of a defender at Blackburn Rovers, having been linked to a bigger club time and again he finally did earn a move to Russian club Anzhi Makhachkala. While he became an integral cog of the Russian club, not all was hunky dory with Samba being victim of racism on more than one occasion during his stay in Russia.
This was when the Congolese defender decided to shift base back to England with QPR spending a club record £ 12.5 million to acquire his service add to that a £ 100,000 per week wages. Signed by the “wheeler-dealer” Harry Redknapp, this looked like a defender who will help QPR stay afloat in the premier league.
While the move was a great one on paper what makes it feature on our list is the aftermath. Despite Harry’s cash splurging winter transfer window, QPR were unable to stay in EPL , hence in the following summer Samba ironically moved back to the club he had left for nearly the same amount as he was bought for, giving it all very suspicious feel.
