Kamada

[Badger11]

Kamada has been a vital cog in the Glasner wheel for some time.
Let us hope we can convince him to remain at the club.

Agreed. Where else would he go?

Japan? It's a step down maybe the move after his one.
Middle East or USA? See above.
Italy? Nope tried and failed.
Germany? Strong maybe but with which club?
PL? Always possible but it would only be a sideways move to a similar club.

My hope is he is waiting to see who the new manager is.

Hardly a scoop but Sky reckon we'll try to convince him to stay. And Wharton "for another year".

My guess would be more along the lines of it depends upon OG next plan, if Oli goes str8 into another job then Kamada is probably going to join him there, however, if it turns out that Oli is going to take a year out to consider his options then we may get another season out of Kamada.

He is after a big payday, no transfer fee and bumper wages thank you Monsieur Bosman.

I hope this finally silences the Kamada detractors who really don't know what they are talking about. The guy is class, an essential cog beside Wharton in the midfield. We don't have any other midfield players of the calibre of these two, it would be smart, if possible, to keep this pairing together.

With the Europa cup coming next we really could do with Kamada, staying. He took a while but he has settled in now. He has had many good games, last night was one, always finding space, making himself available to receive , linking play. Not easy do at this level and not easy to replace.

I think Kamada definitely struggled with the physicality and intensity of the PL upon arriving.

He looked both a bit frail on the pitch and unable to cope with the pace... therefore a liability and sh!t, hence the criticism.

He has improved/adapted to these conditions and the more he does, the more his quality shines through.

 

[crvenaeagle]

I always said he had quality, even when he was still fresh and I still stand by that. I'd be delighted if we could keep him and Wharton for next season.

 

[Mystic Smeg]

Been in Daichi's corner on here since he came to us. He eventually found his feet. To all you doubters who constantly slate him....have iiiiiiiiiiit🏆🏆🏆Legend!

Fair play to him. Kamada has improved significantly, especially over the last few months, and most notably in Europe. He was excellent again last night.

I don't regret any of my criticisms of him, though, as I don't think think I was wrong at the time. For me, in his first season he went from being awful to being just about OK (albeit with very good performances in the FA Cup semi and final last year) and, this season, was OK with a bit of a dip when the team dipped, up till he got injured. Since he came back he has been good in the league, and very good in Europe, again with eye-catching performances in the big games.

Is that a gradual process of adaptation to English football? If so, it would be a real shame to lose him now that his learning curve is complete.

Or, does he try harder on the big stage so as to get his next big contract? He wouldn't be the first. Problem is, if we give him another two or three years here, will his levels drop?

Or, does he always try his best but is only good enough to play very well in the lowest European level, and to be average at best, overall, in the premier league? The two are very different, both in style and speed, and we play an awful lot more Premier League football than we do European football.

Anyway, whereas I was very keen to see the back of him a few months ago I am now very happy for him to stay. Its great when players improve. I hope Pino follows the example, and of course Johnson. Given the need to both strengthen and enlarge the first team squad, especially in midfield, I would be surprised if the club didn't try to keep Kamada now.

What makes you so sure, you know what you're talking about? Hmmm

At the very least I can see that Kamada has played an important role in helping us win both the FA Cup and the Conference, arguably with MOTM performances. He also plays at international level and will be representing his country in the upcoming World Cup. He's not as bad as some clown on here suggests.
