Retail therapy needed for Samba

NEW BLACKBURN boss Steve Kean believes the promise of new faces in the January transfer window can convince want-away defender Christopher Samba to stay.

Kean stripped Samba of the club captaincy ahead of the St Stephen’s Day defeat at Stoke but will bring him back for tonight’s trip to West Brom pending a fitness test.

Kean jetted out to India to meet Rovers’ new owners before Christmas and says the news he brought home to his squad has eased the fears of senior players.
