Boubacar Kamara

[stevo_st]

Would be great to have him sign a new contract.

[Vegas]

Best outfield player we’ve had since the mid 90s.

It WAS pretty fucking cool though, wasn't it? Didn't you get a semi on once the anxiety abated?
He also had an inasane run forward without the ball about 15 mins from time, clearly forgot he wasn't a midfielder at the moment.

Yes, it was cool, very cool and very entertaining. I can't imagine Emery or the coaching staff being so enamored by it though.  But I guess it's what you get with Kamara and it makes him stand out as a player who can do the basic stuff very well and can jazz it up now and then in a whim.  I'd have no problem if it was in midfield as the risk of failure isn't so high even though I do remember one occasion where he did something similar previously which got punished.

I still love him even so.  Player of the season so far in my book.

Given we went out of our way to get Torres in who does risky stuff on the ball regularly I suspect emery fucking loved it, our defenders beating the press and creating chances on the counter is as close as you get to 'emery-ball' and that sometimes means taking a player on or picking a riskier pass.

[Dante Lavelli]

McGinn also said Emery has encouraged him to take more touches.  I think he wants the players to have that sort of confidence, its integral to our tactics and drawing the opposition onto us.

Leicester in 2023 when they won 4-2. Two came from Kamara losing it stupidly.

[caster troy]

Kamara is so good if we can sign him to a new contract and keep him for another 4-5 years we will be in 'statue and retire the shirt number' territory as far as I'm concerned.

[olaftab]

I am worried that they will come for him.

[Sexual Ealing]

Yeah, my guess is that we'll sell him for a lot of money in the summer.

[AV82EC]

No we won’t.

[London Villan]

It's his footballing intelligence in being able to beat the press. The Ramsey chance on Sunday starts with Kamara's clever little return ball to Teilemans, which opens the whole pitch up.

I saw an interview recently with Alan McInally and he was giving Kamara rave reviews, so it's not going unnoticed.

StuntPegg was at the Leipzig match for a Amazon Promo and right at the end she states "Boubacar Kamara...... he is SOME footballer". 

[eamonn]

Has StuntPegg taken the Amazon shilling? Mixed feelings, she deserves a lucrative life but I hope it doesn't knock the Bolton humour and sensibility out of her.

[Drummond]

I do worry that one of those handful of clubs come for him at some point, or that he'll wait and run his contract down. Obviously he's entitled to do that, and we have benefited from it ourselves.

But still. He's brilliant.
