Boubacar Kamara

[VillaTim]

It funny - as his injuries have probably made this possible.  He is one of the very best in his position in the world. 

Him signing a new contract would be a huge boost.  Out of our permentent players - I would say its only him and Emi where it would be virtually impossible for us to buy a player that is at a compariable level.

I rate him but I think that's a bit OTT. He didn't make the last French squad did he ?
These next few weeks will be his chance to show he can do it v the likes of PSG home and away etc. The stage is his now .

Look at our form when he features as opposed to not.

In a way Palace and Brentford sums up his importance. Not a huge difference in our performance levels against similar standard teams. One game we switch our formation to match Palace but we just collapse defensively. Against Brentford he comes on when we're sitting back and we keep a rare clean sheet.

Think a game like Spurs away would've been a far different result, think he only came on at that one at 3-1 down when the game was beyond us.

He is as important to us as Rodri is for Man. City and that is generally reflected in the results, goals conceded and general mentality when defending so would be huge to get him on a long term deal.

The France omissions are a little baffling but then he has had plenty of injuries around the time of international breaks in last two and a half years. Deschamps regularly starts Digne and he called up Diaby a few times last season so don't think playing for us is holding him back there.

I think there are so few that play in his position at his level, its is easy to underestimate just how good he is.

96% of turnover going on wages is the last official take we have .

90% on the UEFA Football Landscape figures, which was later.

[VillaTim]

Good, going in the right direction then .

Do we overrate him? Pundits never really mention him. I know they're lazy arses but still.

Asensio is the matchwinner to chuck money at if we're hamstrung by the rules.

[PeterWithesShin]

Based on only if he started or not, when he did start will be the first set

22/23
W11 D3 L9
W8 D4 L6

23/24
W19 D3 L7
W10 D8 L9

24/25
W10 D5 L7
W13 D5 L4

I've heard pundits rave about him several times.

[eamonn]

Really? I get the impression that half of the dozy feckers have never heard of him. "Which Kamara is that...?"

[Olneythelonely]

Would Alan Smith saying he’s good, make him good?

He’s absolutely top class.

Would Alan Smith saying he’s good, make him good?

He’s absolutely top class.

And it is ALWAYS Alan Smith. 

Agreed, he's unique in our squad and we should do everything we can to keep him long term.

I mentioned before that Stuntpegg did a special video for Prime for the Leipzig match. One of her last lines was "Kamara, he is a special player".

In our squad, Martinez, Kamara and Asensio are on a different level to the rest.

I'd put Torres, Mings (on his day), Rogers (as he has the potential) behind those.

If we are paying silly top dollar to any player, then Kamara is at the top of the list for me.

I think you have to mention Konsa somewhere in that.

Lots more as well. I honestly believe that we now have 17-18 players who are of the standard we need to challenge for trophies in the next few years and then a few more that have the potential to step up as well. If we can keep most of this squad together, and we replace anyone who leaves properly, I can see us adding to the trophy cabinet within the next 2 seasons. I've said it before but I firmly believe this is the best squad we've had since I've been watching.

Agreed. It's notable how technically advanced he and Asensio are. That needs to be the benchmark as we move forward.
