I thought he moved back to England to be closer to his family? Definitely not motivated by money this one.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) and Imran (@Annihilate Now!) are here to discuss Amad saving our blushes in a win against Southampton as well as our now annual loss at home to Brighton. They discuss Amorim's post-match comments, revisit how mid-table we may or may not be, and discuss some transfer news.

What on earth do Anzhi see in this guy?
Well if QPR are paying him £100k a week, how much must Anzhi be offering? 
Less than £100k, as no one else will pay him near that?
wow
reckon given his huge wages QPR would have accepted 6-8 million for Samba
buying him back at what they sold him is silly

Maybe he had a 'release' clause.
Seems odd. Good bit of business there on the face of it from QPR.
still think had they offered 6/7 million QPR would have bitten their hand off
I reckon this is money laundering - Russian mafia are using Samba as a means of moving 12 million around Europe every 6 months
He'll sign for QPR in January again
Wtf 
Shambles from both clubs.

I'm surprised the fee is so large, sugar-daddy or not - good business I suppose by QPR (if you ignore the stupid bit of business that created the whole situation in the first place).
Must have a great agent. Wondering how much for 'arry cut.
I'm starting to see why he was the one player 'Arry wanted to sign... his dogs must have been busy at the bank again.
Wait, hang on.. Didn't their chairman say somehting along the lines of ' they are buying him because his wages are so high.. Idiots.'
they are buying him because his wages are so high.. Idiots.'Surely QPR will be paying some of his pages...? SURELY?
I'd say his agents delighted.
Yeah that was the craic alright - him & his Mrs must have broke up then?!
He was well loved at Anzi if memory serves, the President said they'd love to have him back anytime he wanted to!
I wonder if it was part of the original deal, a buyback clause in the event of relegation?
Strange situation!
Strange situation!
QPR spent 12.5 million to get him and are now selling him for 12 million, how is this good business?
Because he's worth three apples and a bag of crisps, but they managed to get 12 million back. Of course the first part was terrible, terrible business, but they've come out reasonably square, minus his wages of course.
They've made a loss on him, they were paying him ridiculous wages for months and his rubbish performances helped get them relegated. I guess it says a lot about QPR that that's good business for them.
Let's just call it terrible business on all fronts.
Except his agent, who is some kind of genius.
We should have bought him. Reunited that impenetrable Samba/Jones partnership.
You know. The one we scored 7 past.
In seriousness, I've never rated Samba. He's a big lad, gets stuck in, has a Vidic-like bravery when it comes to sticking his head towards anything, but he's not really all that good.

What a massively overrated player Samba is.
Just had a look he's only 29, I thought he was well into his 30s or maybe it's because he's so shit that he looks older.His agent must be sat somewhere smoking a huge cigar crying with laughter.
It's bizarre how some of these transfer prices work. £12 million for Samba after the season he's had, £15 million for Carroll, £12 million for Fletcher, yet we'll probably sell Nani for less than them both.
This is the funniest transfer story. Qpr paid him an elite wage and he performed like a donkey and now Anzhi decide to give back the money QPR paid for him. Brilliant business
Didn't he play like a donkey because he came off the Russian off-season to be inserted straight into the QPR line-up?
In fairness, he seems fairly decent at his chosen profession.
Yup, considering both clubs involved, he'd have made a considerable sum. Likewise for Samba, hefty signing on fees in both cases for sure.
Another centre back who earned his reputation by scoring a few goals rather than what a centre back is actually meant to do. He's like Vermaelen.

Suspect Chris Samba is simply attempting to go through the rest of his career without having to do a pre-season.After signing him Redknapp said something about if needs be they could sell him for £12m, so I suspect there was some kind of clause/deal pencilled in.
And knowing Dirty Harry he got a share either way

Harry Redknapp puts the kermit in kermit
Idiot who has shit all over his own career. Yeah he's earned plenty of money, up to a certain level, you have to aspire to more.
Qpr did well to remove him off their books.
This(these) have to be one of the strangest moves in football.
Why on earth would Anzhi even buy him back, especially considering his shit performances for QPR?
There must be some dodgy shit happening here.

most hilarious deal ever
