Boubacar Kamara

[Paul.S]

Can’t say I’ve heard of him but glad Gerrard has identified an area we’ve needed upgrading for a long time. We do get bullied in midfield at times and I’d like to see another central midfielder come in who can play but is also physically able to look after himself.
Big summer ahead but I really think we are a few players away from a very decent team/squad.

He has leadership qualities. He has often  captained Marseille. Marseille is probably the team that get most pressure from their fans in France.

[Three Spires Villa]

Very happy, welcome and good luck

The biggest thing for me is that a lot of comments from people who've watched him talk about his awareness and intelligence, I think that's going to be a big positive of this signing.

I think of the current squad, only Martinez, Cash, Digne, Buendia, Coutinho, and now Kamara are capable of being virtual match-day shoe ins for a team trying to qualify for Europe. Everyone else in the squad to me screams 'mid table' (including younger players like Ramsey, Carney, Tim, Cameron etc who may go on to become stars but right now are still developing and need more time).

I'd hope we will at a minimum, add two additional Kamara like signings, one at CB (one of Mings, Konza, Chambers, Hause can compete for the other spot), and a striker. That would give us a fighting chance next year of starting to compete for a top 8 spot.

Exactly this

I think that's fair enough and it's worth noting 3 of the 6 were signed by SG and 2 the others have recently signed long term term deals. Think we may need another top quality DM as well as the CB and striker and should be looking for the right quality (50-60m range) if necessary.

[PaulTheVillan]

No idea if Kamara is any good.

But it’s certainly a step up from wasting £5m on players like Tshibola

Lots of positive comments, just like when Trezeguet signed.

Let's hope Kamara keeps us in the PL too

I don't recall the comments from fans of Man U, Atleti, etc moaning about missing out on trez though.
