I’m sorry but Kamada and Hughes have been key to the system Glasner plays. When you only have 2 DMs in midfield often up against 3 Kamada’s positional awareness and Hughes tackling are vital and allow Wharton to play. If you watch Kamada he is always looking to see where the opposition runners are and how best to position himself to block passes giving Wharton time to tackle, win the ball, and play telling pass. He’s not built to tackle but this aspect of his game has improved. He’s also technically good on the ball. When Hughes plays in his place we rely on the fact he is a busy player who will chase the ball and harry opponents to win the ball, more often than not making a simple pass to Wharton or our attackers.
Both have been encouraged to get forward a bit more and while neither will bang in goals from midfield on a regular basis, I’d fancy Kamada to get one before Hughes.
My guess is Parish is leaving Kamada’s contract as a decision for the new manager this summer assuming Kamada is prepared to stay.
