Kamada will be an asset

[premier fan]

Allegedly he is the highest paid player in the squad so we have a right to expect much, much better from him. It almost seems that Glasner is constantly trying to justify his cost and wages by constantly playing him in the hope he will come good.

He's had enough time so we should now try to move him on together Edouard and Holding. Unfortunately their combined transfer worth is unlikely to fund the purchase of anybody decent.

I still regret we didn't go for Wan-Bissaka who is earning consistent good reviews in a mediocre Hammers team - at £15 million he was a more sensible purchase than Kamada or Holding. Seeing Olise, Eze in the stands with Wilf makes me wonder if we are going to get Zaha back. He wouldn't be Glasner's choice but he might be Parish's.

Nah, think I prefer Nunoz over WBS.

Dont make the mistake of thinking that Celtic has 4 Japanese players so they must be good. Edouard looked like Pele in the Scottish Premiership and cannot get on the bench at Leicester. I am not sure what has happened to Scottish football in the last generation or two, European elite leadership seems to have evolved into a world of curling and drug misuse.

Edouard had one decent season. Celtic did what Arsenal and Liverpool have done- sold us a pup. Kyogo and Maieda are decent players who are scoring goals in the Champions League. Scottish football doesn’t have the money Sky et al have poured into the PL so can’t attract decent players and our best home grown players head south for the money.
In the good old days when Scottish teams were part of the European elite kids played football in the streets, the 60s equivalent of cage football. The Celtic team that won the European Cup all came from within a few miles of Celtic Park. Those days are long gone.

Of course you’re right, I’ve always banged that same drum about signing players from Celtic as well, , especially as you say even Edouard was a goal machine up there. But I’ve always thought their Japanese players look good individually having watched them in the World Cup as well, they always seem so swift and mobile, unlike Kamada

Glasner clearly sees something in him and has made positive comments about his contributions. I’ve watched him recently and I think he is used when the opposition overload midfield. Because we play with a back three we can be outnumbered in midfield. Kamada is never going to be a physical player. What you’ll often see is he positions himself to attempt to block passes to 2 players allowing Hughes and Lerma to press the ball carrier. He’s always looking both ways to see where players are moving and trying to cover the options. If we do win the ball he moves to take a pass.
Arsenal were just too good for that to work but he did what he could. It’s not a role Eze could do for sure. I think Olly knows what he’s doing and it’s a pity the lad gets stick all the time.

I cheered when he got subbed yesterday because he's so poor!
I want him to succeed but it's not going to happen.
Can't attack, can't defend, what's left ?
We've had some awful players at palace but he stands out especially.
A weak link who can't afford to be played

PL is too high a league for Kamada to play, he will be perfect for Scottish league
