Boubacar Kamara - out for the season

[eamonn]

Problem is some folk say the same about Ramsey and Luiz too. When are we we gonna get the seasoned but still good 6/7/8 that can walk into the team, grab it by the perpendiculars and hit the ground running?

To be honest he already looks very good in his role - he’ll get better, and be brilliant, but he’s already better than the level we’re hitting at the moment.

There's a touch of class about him. There's time yet to knock that out of him.

Shite again for me

Bloody Hell.

Incredible opinion.

[tomd2103]

I thought he was fine yesterday.  Broke up play well and I can't recall him giving it away too often.  The system we play isn't going to help him too much when he is on the ball, as there aren't too many options in front of him.

Mind you, this is the same chap who said we didn't play well when we put 7 past Liverpool.

I think he’s been arguably our best player, and comfortably our best player, in our last two matches.

Which is incredible for a young player joining from the French league.

We got 99 problems but Kamara ain’t one.

I agree, you can tell he's got class. It just makes it more remarkable that having solved what was supposed to be the key isse we now look worse as a team.

Likely because SG thinks just slapping a DM in would fix everything ..the rest would work itself out.

I don't think Gerrard would openly be critical of the owners and directors like Parker has, but you can tell he thinks we need more players. Our net spend absolutely does not match our stated aims.

At Palace? He was utterly anonymous. We didn't have any midfield in that game but he gave our CBs no protection at all, same v Bournemouth. At Bolton, he wasn't far off our worst player, getting caught wrong side of the ball constantly and fouling then repeatedly.

I thought he had a good first half v West Ham but in the context that they were barely attacking. When they started counter attacking in the second he was nowhere to be seen. The time McGinn lost the ball it was Cash and Digne who scrambled back to stop Bowen not Kamara.

[cdbearsfan]

He's class. He's the last player I'd be rushing to moan about.

That's pretty misleading, especially on a thread dedicated to one of our new signings who would have significantly pushed up that net spend if he hadn't run down his Marseille contract. Gerrard has only lost a promising youngster and the left back he replaced as soon as could, both for decent fees. Otherwise he has everyone from last season to go with the new arrivals. He's not operating on Bournemouth resource levels.

Even if you added in a market value for Kamara, it still wouldn't be enough. We're still playing with largely the same midfield we've had for the last 3 seasons, who have proved time and time again that they're not good enough.

"Otherwise he has everyone from last season to go with the new arrivals". That's entirely the problem. Of course the Carlos injury was unlucky, but that squad plus Kamara and a few back ups isn't good enough, even allowing for the fact they should be doing better than they are.
