Boubacar Kamara - out for the season

[Rigadon]

He did great today, especially given he's been out for a while.  If Carlos has the same impact when he's back from injury then our spine will be so much more robust.  Add a serious goal scorer up top and we're in business. 

[Gerrin]

Thought he was excellent today, quite surprised the criticism he was getting on the match thread. He's a quality player.

He was really good, him and Doug look like they could be a really strong centre for us.

[Baldy]

Kamara and Luiz are forming a great partnership. We now have a real presence in midfield.

Top signing.

Shame he had his own injury as he'd probably be starting for France in this World cup given the injuries they have in midfield. Think Veretout made their final squad in the end.

Bouba just has that wonderful quality of reading the game and being in the right place at right time to cut out dangerous developing attacks.

Anyone wanted to do anything serious in the league needs one and we've lacked that type probably since Petrov stopped playing for us.

Yeah, thought the defensive side of his game was excellent today.  Still a little bit off the pace in certain areas, but that's only to be expected given he's only just come back after being out.

He can now get up to speed over the break and be ready when the league resumes. 

[PaulTheVillan]

Did well today. Needs the break. Not fully fit. Smart and composed

I am excited to see how this pairing develops.

I think it was more comments that he looked short if fitness than criticism, unless I missed something. Towards the end of the first half there was one time he took a pass and his legs went to jelly, I wasn't convinced he'd be back out so for him to play the full match was a big surprise. He was empty towards the end though.

[LeeB]

His anticipation is outstanding and he passes crisply and quickly. He's going to be some player, in fact he's got the potential to be the best in the world in this role. As I said last week, the Marseille fan I met after the Man Utd game was absolutely convinced he will be a superstar. They sold Anguissa to Napoli as well who's having a brilliant season, but he reckoned Kamara was a class above him.

[chrisw1]

This guy is some player.  Very surprised he managed so many minutes in successive games off the back of his injury, but at least he can recover now.

[OCD]

Didn't he get called up to the French squad?

[PaulWinch again]

Nope.

France must have a special midfield set up if they can leave Kamara out

They do, but I suspect it’s more down to the injury. He hasn’t established himself when it happened and timing/fitness just weren’t realistic. Had he been fit all season I reckon there’s a good chance he’d be going.
