Best news but not gonna be cheap as it’s reported he’s on £150k per week atm…. I’d double it!!

I hope not. Our wages are out of control as it is, and he ain't worth that.

He’s our best player. If anyone is worth it, he is*.

*Of course he isn’t worth 300k a week, no one is.

Emi is rumoured to be on £200k a week, two of our loans more than that. It’s the level we’re operating at now.

Which is fine with CL funds sloshing around - lose £100m turnover through not qualifying and we'll be fcuked.

Yeah he's not worth it. We need the wages bringing under control and in line with the rules.

Let’s see if we’re in line with the rules before we say we’re not in line with the rules.

96% of turnover going on wages is the last official take we have .

I'd need to see the PPG stats (with and without him) before I make that judgement.

I don't have them, but have seen them and the difference is huge.

Edit: Before this season though. I reckon it'd be quite tight this year as we made a good start whilst he was injured.

We are about to find out how good he is over the coming weeks (same applies to a lot of them) , some like Ascensio/ Martinez are already proven so have nothing to prove they are top level .

Kamara has something to prove? Are we watching the same player? If he runs his contract down everyone at the top level will be in.

In our squad, Martinez, Kamara and Asensio are on a different level to the rest.

I'd put Torres, Mings (on his day), Rogers (as he has the potential) behind those.

If we are paying silly top dollar to any player, then Kamara is at the top of the list for me.

He is very obviously top class - it’s quite clear.

No he needs a new contract obviously to protect the asset . He needs to prove he can stay consistently fit with the demands and rigours of the EPL. If he can't then it's a factor . He's been out for lengthy periods since he joined.
Martinez and ascensio are on a different level as they have the medals to prove it. I'm hopeful come June Kamara can be the same .

It funny - as his injuries have probably made this possible.  He is one of the very best in his position in the world. 

Him signing a new contract would be a huge boost.  Out of our permentent players - I would say its only him and Emi where it would be virtually impossible for us to buy a player that is at a compariable level.
