He's  23. A very good footballer and a few years away from his peak. I wouldn't  dream of selling just as I wouldn't contemplate  selling Jacob Ramsey (22) another very good footballer who is still developing.

I like Kamara, but I watched back the newcastle game yesterday and I thought he spent too much of the game not putting in much physical effort in general, whilst contributing not a lot.

I wonder if the talk has got to him?

Thought the same...he seemed utterly disinterested. Then again the midfield setup was all wrong and he was a bit like that under Gerrard at times too.

We won't get better as a club selling our best players though.

Spanish media saying Seville have rejected our bid for Acuña, so he's not imminent anyway.

Was the midfield setup all wrong?

Kamara and Luiz in the middle.so that's half of it absolutely right.

Kamara was lazy. Not good.

He is mostly good, but Saturday weren't it.
Or is it that.

Huh? Anyway he had a bad game, I doubt he’ll play that badly again for a very long time. First game’s of the season can be weird. We’ll see at the weekend, but I think we were just off and they were fully on it.

Bailey on the right was the problem and Steptoes son had a field day , so they were running and passing through us with impunity.
The midfield collapsed.

The other plus is that it puts us back under the radar again for our title charge.

Zaniolo looks good but as another poster said bit of a Darren Anderton type why are we scrapping around for him and an older left back than what we've got?
