Kamara

[Colin Traive 22,756]

Another awesome performance from a complete thoroughbred. His touch was always spot on, he refused to concede possession and even threw in a cute back heel for the goal.

As Arfield and Davis tired, (and with no Jack, Aribo or Zungu to offer fresh legs) Kamara just got better and better.

He doesn’t run, he glides and he’d be perfectly at home playing at the Bernabeu or the Nou Camp.

Fuck knows how much he’s worth now but he is the best midfielder in the country at the moment imo. Hope he’s with us for years.

Totally agree. 

I think (without getting carried away) it's bordering on world class, at times, the way he accepts the ball under pressure, opens up his body and calmly finds a Rangers man.

It's like there's some sort of sonar radar inside that wee heed of his. 

I used to feel that even though he was talented, he sometimes slowed our play down domestically at least, but he's a lot sharper and keeps the ball moving and all the momentum in our play.

Get him tied down on a new contract (if we can persuade him to stay).

Mind blowing that we got him from Dundee for virtually nothing 

[toolongawake 1,205]

Thought he was on top of his game last night, superb performance.

[STEPPS BOY 73,909]

He’d walk into that Benfica team and also any other teams we’ve played this season.

Just a fantastic footballer.

[ayro 3,001]

Great performance again, was the best midfielder on the park.

Would love to get him on a new deal as at his age and developing under Gerrard he has the potential to get even better, similar with Aribo.

Unfortunately if he doesn’t sign a new deal soon we need to sell him as we don’t want to be like Dundee and make a financial fuck up with such an asset.

[SuperLeeMcCulloch 2,330]

The boys superb in games were possesion is key. Sadly think he will be off if the Euros go ahead and he has a decent showing. 

[ShanksRFC 3,869]

Great player and bargain of the century.

[Cedrick 8,048]

Thought he was outstanding last night 

[JackAlex93 11,272]

The guy is a top modern day midfielder. Oozes class! 

[TheKingObv 10,646]

He you could tell he always had the ability but he used to be ridiculously ponderous on the ball at times and give away possession stupidly.

Thankfully he has sorted that part of his game.

[Swally 6,289]

great vision and awareness along with the ability to execute his ideas, thought he was brilliant as well.

i've never been so wrong about a player

[Dado'sMulls 2,617]

Now has the confidence and swagger to go with his immense talent, he's the best midfielder in Scotland imo

[markem 7,285]

Enjoy him whilst we have him lads as Kamara is gonna play at a much higher level. Just how far he can go will be interesting to watch. 

[Inigo 32,526]

I reckon he'll be sold for top dollar in the summer. Just gotta hope we win the league and he fancies a crack at the CL with us.

[MurrayWilson 3,393]

The bigger the game and the better the opposition the better he seems to play. Wouldnt look out of place in any league at any level.

[Smile 26,606]

Great game last night was everywhere.

[The Beast 9,218]

I suspect he may be off potentially along with 2 or 3 others if stupidly big offers come in, especially if they continue to play well in Europe/international games.

I just hope that no significant departures happen until the summer after we have 55 wrapped up.

If say Kamara, Barasic and Morelos all left we would have potentially £50M+ at least some of which would go towards team improvements/replacements. As much as it hurts to admit it that's going to be a big part of the business model moving forwards - buy cheap, develop, sell high.

If we had 2 of those 3 players on the bench I don't think we would of drawn the game as Gerrard would of been able to make some subs in midfield to cover the tired legs.

On Kamara, I think he has shown this season a level of consistency to his game that has been missing in previous seasons. He has had one off great games, but in others looked liked he wasn't interested. This season every game is a great game.

Spot on. Any one of them would have come on to do a shift. Benfica were doing to us what we do to SPFL teams, move them all over the place and wear them down.

Hagi was the only realistic footballing option but he’s more of a forward than a holding midfielder. Really missed Jack big time.

[Dennis Reynolds 1,329]

I would say Kamara is arguably the coaching teams greatest achievement. He is quite possibly one of the best coached players I have actually seen while supporting us. 

For all that the work of Smith was admirable he very often bought out the box good to go players who rarely took massive steps. 

Kamara is at Jonathon Johansson levels of visibly a measurably better football player than he was upon arrival, he was a cheap buy because of circumstance but he has actually went from a Dundee player to a player we could look for close to 10 million for. 

It's gait and body position with him all the time, it's the old giant keeping a midget at arms length with his hand trick when he has the ball, he will just about let you get near it but not quite - fucking class. 

[Marco 1,450]

Paid 50K for him, got him on a lengthy contract and the lad's only 25. Still a few more years before we see his absolute best and the potential to make a fortune from him. Best singular piece of business we've done in a long, long time.

[16BlueSherbert90 19,223]

We were critical of our coaching staff in previous seasons, but they really do know what they're looking to get from our players...

Kamara is outstanding. Workrate from him is unreal. 

[MayboleLoyal_atb 3,688]

Was different class

He's added a lot more physicality and focus as well. 

In previous seasons he'd be out-muscled often and occasionally made poor passes/decisions when he switched off. Both aspects of his play have improved dramatically this season.
