Kamara seems another player this place has hyped up to fuck
Seems like those that watch him do rate him but nowhere near as high as the next golden DM rnb labelled him to be? people here are thinking he?s a straight starter and Kessie replacement/upgrade if he comes
Mind you, Baka is on a 2 year deal that turns into obligation and we have Adli coming in. He?d have competition, his main strength is that he?s a free agent
I?d welcome him, but come on people, there?s always a few names here?
Azmouns a free agent too next year?
he definitely isn't a young player that make you say "he is going to be a top player" but all the raw attributes are there. skill and athletic attribute.
and imo, the Kamara CB we were linked to 2 years ago impressed me a lot more than the current Kamara DM he has been for the past 1 1/2-2 years. he competently play btoh positions and he's been doing very good at DM but the CB impresses me more.
he comp
this is a video from 2019 that show some of his CB days ... i think if this guy and Tomori can be "learned" to be disciplined/tactically smart pairing, they could rule the league.
both aggressive, Athletic, Techinal, and great passers.
even though it doesn't always work (koulibaly & Manolas) ... if we can make it work it'd be great.
so that's my twisted "fantasy". get him as a multi fonction player (as many of our players are) and as Kjaer fades, hopefully Pioli decides that he can be better CB than DM.
also at DM he would struggle here at first with how quick we transtion... he doesn't seem to have that execution speed...seems he needs time on the ball like Tonali needed yesterseason, and ended either messing up the pass because he is rushed in his mind or playing it safe with a square pass that kills/slows the transition.
so he'd need that "meh" season before blowing if he does.
as i said ysterday in a post, i noticed we don't buy young starters, Maldini gets them to be 2nd or 3rd options (depending on the position), giving them time to adapt and grow for a season or and they then explode with us.
as he said, he looks for key criterias important for the modern game (ability in 1on1 play and other) and the rest, they can learn it here....if we put them in the proper system and right environment, they can become top players
Kessie was not the next golden DM a few years ago. but now at 24-25...he is up there as one of the best in his position. lot of top clubs want him (the "free" adds to his desirability, but still...) . and i'm pretty sure a lot of the young players of his age that were labelled "golden" at 18-20 didn't fulfill that.
so the me, i don't mind that he is not looking "special" (as the hype seem to suggest) ... i belive the tools are there for him to be at least a very good player in 3-5 years. one that almost any team would want.
my 2 cents
