Boubacar Kamara

[Rudy Can't Fail]

I think we have to accept that when he’s fit we will at best be getting half a season out of him next season. Great player that he is he seems susceptible to knee injuries. I think Marseille had more than an inkling about this concern too. We need to see who is out there we might appoint of a similar nature we can rotate with him from now on. He’ll be impossible to sell for his real value unfortunately.

So never having a knee injury in his time at Marseille means they let him run down his contract because they "inkled" he had knee problems?

Indeed. Anybody would be 'susceptible to knee injuries' when you have a talentless thug completely focused on taking you out of the game.

I know it's not worth complaining about or anything, but you absolutely know for certain that if Kamara had taken out Palinha it would be a commonly-discussed point in football media.

They've had our pants down.

Who's had whose pants down?
We bought him on a free at a time when he no history of long-term injuries.
The only pants that are down are either on our medical team (see also Onana) or on our coaches for not helping Kamara to play in a way that is not so prone to twist / impact injuries.
And, before anyone thinks I'm being overly-critical of our staff: the other factor is that opposition coaches have identified  - as we have as fans - that if they stop Kamara they stop Villa's flowing football.

You mean if they kick him and the referee let's them away with it

Just joking mate. He's my favourite player since Laursen. In all honesty he only sneaks it as that's my position.

I did think the rest of the post gushing over him being an artist might be a clue though.
