    We replace our most effective European player of the last few years with a Cardiff City reserve.

    Knocked back 3year deal £100,000 a week from china, £25,000 from besiktas in Turkey, £30,000 from spar tak Moscow in Russia

    Has an offer from Southampton while Sevilla and hamburg are also pursuing him.

    The man has integrity which is why he played for us so long taking a pay cut. WGS was quoted as saying this even when offers were coming in with more money.

    He wants to play in a top European league and I say good luck to him

    If those figures are close then fair play to the big man, he was on and off here but off the field mentality wise he really is a dying breed..

    Interesting clubs there making bids all pretty poor leagues but he would get European football at Besiktas and Spartak but I still think his heart is here and if we offered him a good offer he would return in a heartbeat

    Not much players would turn down £100k a week to move to China. Say what you like about Sammy's commitment on the field, but his attitude off the park is exemplary. Never gets himself into any controversial situations, was brilliant with wee Jay Beatty, and has now shown that he cares about football more than money - which is more than can be said for most footballers.
