Boubacar Kamara

[Monty]

Play him and Onana together and Tielemans in the McGinn role from yesterday, when everyone's fit. Just a brick wall in the middle of the pitch.

[PeterWithe]

I've said it before, our best player, or certainly the most important.

[Demitri_C]

How long has he got left his contract? Might be worth giving him a new contract as he is so vital for us

Cant wait to see a midfield of onana and kamara. That ia going to be very robust

[Drummond]

And Barkley. Absolutely solid.

[claret+blue ed]

He’s an absolute Rolls Royce of a player, I’d forgotten how good he actually is until he showed us all his class on Wednesday night, he’s vital to us doing well this season

[pauliewalnuts]

He's brilliant, absolutely superb player, I wish we had a few more of his quality.

[VillaTim]

Getting back to full fitness, superb with a few errors today through rustiness

[stevo_st]

Class today. Always has his head up

[Demitri_C]

So happy to have him back. What a massive  difference he makes

[KingstandingVilla]

his offensive passing range seems better than ever

[Hillbilly]

He’s just looks a cut above. Long may it continue (but only in a Villa shirt!).

Announce his contract extension.

Announce his contract extension.

I've always wondered how contract extension negotiations work with players who arrived on a Bosman.  It's widely accepted that as they come for "free" there will be some sort of wage-related inducement for them to sign, which might put their wages higher than if we'd paid £20m for them.  When they renegotiate, do their wages get "re-adjusted" into non-Bosman levels?  Or does someone who came on a Bosman likely have higher wages (on average) than a non-Bosman for their entire time at a club, because everyone wants a pay rise at renegotiating time, and they're already starting at a higher level?

I'm sure the same is true of Youri.

Thought it was usually a signing bonus. As he came in under Gerrard who put both Coutinho and Carlos on stupidly high wages, I'm guessing Boubi will be on high as well, although coming from a French club, just going on normal Prem wages would have been a massive boost for him.

Woooah, let's see him play a few more games first.
