QUEENS Park Rangers center-back Christopher Samba has apologized for his performance in the club's 2-3 loss at Fulham but says fans have no right to question how much money he earns.
A club-record signing from Russian club Anzhi Makhachkala in January, Samba was at fault for both of Fulham's opening goals on Monday as QPR slipped to a loss that left it seven points adrift of safety in the English Premier League.
The 29-year-old Congolese defender conceded a penalty from which Dimitar Berbatov opened the scoring in the eighth minute before giving the ball away and enabling the Bulgarian to score his second goal.
An own goal from Clint Hill put Fulham 3-0 up and although QPR hit back through Adel Taarabt and Loic Remy, they could not find an equalizer.
"I'm really sorry I let the side down," Samba wrote on his Twitter account, @cs4christsamba1 late on Monday.
He added: "Before I go tonight I just wanna say I see a lot of you talk about I shouldn't say sorry, well when I'm wrong I'm wrong I hold my hands up.
"Then 2nd of all to all you keep talking about 100k (100,000 pounds or US$152,000) performance, tell me what is a 100k performance? We as players go out and give our all.
"We do our best every week, what I get paid has nothing to do with any of you, as for my price tag I didn't put a price on my head, grow up pls (please)."
The defender reportedly cost the west London club 12.5 million pounds.
