Kean: Sour Samba won't be offered anymore sweeteners to stay

Steve Kean claims Chris Samba will not be offered a new deal to stay at Blackburn.
The club won over Samba when he tried to leave 13 months ago by handing him a bumper four-and-a-half-year contract, but Kean insists there will be no pay rise this time for his wantaway skipper.
“No, he’s not getting a new contract,” said the Blackburn boss. “He’s got a four-year contract, which is still in place.”
Kean will expect to see Samba out on the training ground this week after a scan revealed he has not damaged his hamstring.
The Rovers ace pulled out of a reserve game last week, complaining of a sore hamstring and back, but Kean expects him to be pushing for a recall to his squad for the Manchester City clash on Saturday week.
“He’s got the all-clear from an MRI scan on his hamstring,” said Kean. ‘‘He can push on now.”
