Sulberto21 Posted July 18, 2022 Share Posted July 18, 2022 One aspect of his play that I’m looking forward to is how he creates time and space for the others. He is such a dominant player in terms of controlling the players positionally and tactically that the others will seem like different players too. For too long our midfield has looked rushed. But with Boubs in there he’ll get his teammates into better positions to receive the ball with that extra split second to play it. Two of Ramsey, Luiz or McGinn will thrive with him in the team. He is still young though and will need time to adjust. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post VillaHatesMe Posted July 18, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted July 18, 2022 I know it was only 45 minutes of a friendly, but I'm comfortable enough to declare that Boubacar Kamara is the greatest player to ever grace God's green Earth. 2 1 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL if Grealish went for £100m then with inflation BooBoo is worth at least £120m...Man City has replenished the treasury with gas prices where they are right now.

maqroll Posted July 18, 2022 Share Posted July 18, 2022 (edited) He's much taller than I thought he was, which is a nice surprise. Get him on an aggressive weight training program and he'll fill out into an absolute destroyer. Future captain material.

Ah that's good I wasn't looking forward to another few pages of height comparisons Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just don’t understand why all DMs need to be absolutely massive to make them effective destroyers. Kamara if effective because he’s excellent at reading the game and is super athletic, he doesn’t need to be Arnie to be any better. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wainy316 Posted July 18, 2022 Share Posted July 18, 2022 But was Kamara's debut as good as Berson's? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is not a destroyer though and that will probably ruin him by changing his game 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MWARLEY2 Posted July 18, 2022 Share Posted July 18, 2022 I also hope Tim stays now as he can learn so much from Bouba. Ramsey Kamara Iroegbunam will be a smart midfield eventually 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ramsey Kamara Iroegbunam will be a smart midfield eventually I didn’t think about it at the time but when Gerrard was talking about Kamara also being able to play as an 8, I wondered who he had in mind at 6. If Tim can progress fast, man that’s a potentially great midfield 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He doesn't have to be, but it certainly wouldn't hurt, and could be rather beneficial against dirty teams or bigger opposition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To put in the tackles he does, you need real agility and timing, not pure size and muscle. And in terms of build he is just like Roy Keane, albeit a couple of inches taller. He will win far more than he will lose with his technique He lost one tackle in 45 mins from what i saw and won about 5 . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makalele, Kante, Keane, Gattuso, Deschamps, Dunga, Simeone all way under 6ft and not burly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IrishVilla10 Posted July 18, 2022 Share Posted July 18, 2022 There’s a pass in his highlights clip from Leeds where he’s got his back against play and turns and plays a ball over a Leeds player and normally we’d see a pass back to Emi. He also nicks the balls off players without committing heavy challenges, such a big signing 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
