[REPORTED] Hassane Kamara

Has been linked with Lyon by L’Equipe after their move for the Feyenoord LB was gazumped by Man Utd.

 

First Man Utd try to get Bachmann for free and now this? They really are a disgusting stain on the underpants of football.

 

I, for one, am utterly flabbergasted.

 

This sounds incredibly plausible, and we'll be aware they have enough spare cash for a LB to hand us some kind of profit.

 

The only consolation is that we have James Morris who can step in and do a marvellous job for us.

 

Sadly the rule of 11 means we have no choice but to sell

£500k is a fantastic fee for someone who has never played in the championship

 

On the bright side if Kamara leaves there’s every chance Masina will stay and be shoehorned into the vacant left wing back role.

 

King Ken it is then.

 

Very unfair of other clubs to only want our good players.

 

Yes, especially as we'd never take that approach with other clubs' players.

 

Puke.

 

Yay!!!!

 

Luckily we've made so much from the Cucho and Zinkernagel sales that we don't have to sell

 

Yes very frustrating, esp when we’ve deliberately tried to minimise the number of such players. On the positive side, it seems we will be immune against such attacks next summer.

 

Hopefully we can get marvellous Marvin back

 

I'm aware your comment is in jest, but Lyon's deal for Malacia was going to be €12mil + €3mil in add-ons.

If they really want Kamara and we'd consider selling then we'd surely ask for a decent fee.

I didn't quite realise though that Kamara was 28 already (while Malacia is 22), which could still limit the amount we could demand for him. It's one thing which might actually count in our favour in terms of keeping him as it might be more useful to hold on to him this season if we're not going to make a decent amount from it.

 

At this rate the back line will be: Massina Cathcart Ekong Kabasele Ngakia

 

Why? Masina seems unlikely to return and Kiko appears to be staying. LWB will most likely be Sema if Kamara leaves.

If Masina stays, which I really doubt, it'd prob just be as cover for both LWB and LCB.

 

It would be Sema.

Masina doesn't seem likely to return, and even if he did would probably be behind him anyway.

 

Sure.

 

Sema is not the answer to any question. Absolutely dreadful player given absurd contract extension by the geniuses in charge.

 

It could seriously help the finances if we cash in on Kamara, we could probably get as much as £4m judging by the superb business we did for Zinckernagel.

 

If they could sell for €12m+ and say (for example), bring Doig or Karbownik in for £4m-£5m - then I can see why the club would do it.

 

Good call on Karbownik, very right footed though.

 

i think if t they sold kamara it would be the first time since theyve been here that the pozzos have sold a reigning player of the season

 

Indeed, Doig and Sema would still be fine to have in the Champ.

Albeit if we were to get promoted again I suspect we'd have to go and buy yet another LWB.

Karbownik seems like a predominantly right-footed player - I don't think that's good at all for a LWB and certainly not in Edwards' system. Would 100% avoid.

 

I was joking to be fair, as much as Sema is also terrible he’d be a lot better than Masina at LWB.

 

It would be really poetic in underlining their incompetence to sign a player for €4m in January. They become player of the season, we then sell him in the summer for £4m thinking it's a master stroke only to realise we gave him a €650k joining fee so in fact lost money.

 

I think the ability to run up and down the line is the least of Ken's worries. It's his footballing ability that concerns me!

 

I wasn’t expecting much of a fanfare after the initial “Meh”

 

Of course we should want more but that's the joke of it. It's not inconceivable that we would put such a ridiculously poor deal together.
