Boubacar Kamara - out for the season

[richtheholtender]

You just know there's a minimum release clause in here somewhere

[ozzjim]

Is it greedy to ask for another one of these types of players?  Assuming this guy is indeed, incoming?  I'd like Ndidi or Bissouma too.

I think we will still be in for a Phillips or Bissouma. Bissouma is actually a very good player and can carry the ball well, so would not be surprised if we wait till the legal issues are resolved then go for him.

[AGRIPPA]

Has anyone actually seen him play??

Watched him yesterday against Strasbourg on BT Sport. Marseilles won 4-0 and pipped Monaco for the CL slot.  He looked pretty decent.

Thanks…I just have visions of him being crap and a second rate Bissouma….

No messing about. Extremely encouraging.

Him and Coutinho have cost less in transfer fees than Ross McCormack and Aaron Tshibola.

Excellent news. Another signing that the manager's name will have attracted I reckon, the challenge now is to organise them into a successful team, as that pull won't last forever.

I was having a reasonable morning till you mentioned the gateman😩 Anyway well done Villa management.

Just waiting for some salty tears from Athletico Madrid now.

Fantastic news. Now Suarez on a free and we’ve been very very smart with under £20 million!

[cdbearsfan]

Welcome. Be brilliant, please.

We're after Tarkowski on a free as well apparently.

There are some extremely upset Man U fans on Twitter this morning, pissed off that we've landed Kamara.

Have no idea whether to be really pleased or utterly non-plussed, given how little I know, but let's hope he breaks the mold of previous signings from France.  From Gerrard's comments he is in the 'promising young player', rather than 'established top quality' bracket of player.  Nowt wrong with that, but I hope the latter is coming at some point too, as we can't risk having another season like the one just gone.

He's played 40+ matches the last two seasons though, so I think he's more Ramsey than Chukwuemeka in terms of development.
