    football is all about 90 min, teams from scotland or england if you like, a managers job is to fit 11 player of his choice in to win all before him, not all teams of the world have bought and payed as yet for the best team, so there is hope for every manager and team to gel, and play football the easy way make the ball do the work, if you can pass it and receive it, what part of that dose not come in to football training or coaching. yet it is a struggle to see any player now days pass and receive the ball

    I remember seeing him on the huddle saying that this was a "really really big club" and how much he adored Tony Mowbray's managing methods. He said he really didn't want to be anywhere else, if I recall. Honestly, though, I think Fortune has been better than Kamara has been. Just my opinion. I'd rather hold onto Marco and let Kamara go, if I had the choice.

    The way the Scottish league is compared to the EPL though and other leagues is a bit unfair, to be honest. I don't think the OF dominance will EVER end, however, as long as the league remains in the format it is today. But that's a topic for another thread I guess.

    I know goals "aren't everything", but based on goals and appearances, Fortune has outperformed him. Same with his number of assists. Same with his ability to remain fit and uninjured, which with Celtic, has been a major problem as of late. He may well be better than Fortune. He hasn't really been on the pitch long even to prove himself yet. All I am saying is it's not worth busting the bank to keep Kamara. I'd rather we spend the money on Bellamy, if thats even still a possibility.

    too me him and Sammy fill similar roles as a striker: tall players with a touch who aren't target men but something a bit more mobile and less physical. For me Maloney is better option on the wings with McCourt being another better possibility and McGinn being at least just as good.

    He's a good player, no doubt. But is he essential for us?

    All in all, I'd like him to stay. But it may just be possible we could find someone who fit our league better and it may be possible that he'd flourish a bit more on a different team as well.

    Wouldn't mind him staying, but he hasn't really proved himself to be as good as he is supposed to be so we would need to be given a fair price tag for him but wouldn't fork out a lot for him ,that's money that can be spent better elsewhere

    Kamara was probably just paying Celtic lip service as long as moving here was an option for him. If he's got the chance of a move to France now you won't see him for dust.

    I'm sick of these foreign players coming here for a few months or a season and telling us how great a club we are then * off at the first opportunity. I'd rather they just came here, shut their trap and got on with doing the business on the park. Badge kissers and bullshitters don't impress me much.

    Ach i was hoping we would be keeping him. Oh well! Definatly a very direct attacking player, and i think thats why i would rather have him, because during alot of last season, we had pretty much no attack. Everyone was scared to actually run towards goal with the ball, but not Kamara! Thought he would do well for us up front, but didnt get the chance to play there unfortunatly. Good luck to him anyway!

    And people saying the SPL is average, well i would have to disagree. I think it's below average ( Excluding Celtic & Rangers, they are the teams that make it kind of an average league ).

    If the best leagues are in England, Spain, Germany and Italy, then i would say average leagues are in Netherlands, France and Portugal, with crap leagues being anything else from Ireland, anything Scandinavian, and Eastern European. But alot of them(Not all! Before people put words in my mouth) are in the same situation as us, which is big fish in small pond.

    Cant blame the guy for wanting to play at a higher level because the standard in the SPL is pathetic and getting worse .

    no way we could have bought him given how little we saw him and his injury record. Not the right sort of player for the SPL IMO. Like it or not player of the Skippy and JVOH (when at their best) were ideal in the SPL and did well in the CL too. Kamara and Fortune are luxury players.

    Youve sort of a contradicted yourself there Gunt by saying "How little we saw him " so why right him off so quickly.

    Celtic didn't make him an offer so it's a non issue

    the SPL might be average or even poor - but he wasn't a standout either.

    Never thought he would be like that. He seemed like someone who would stick up for the club and desperate to sign a contract full time with us but apparantly he is 1 of the * off foreigners who ditch Celtic whenever another club similar to us shows an interest

    Circumstances have dictated that that is all we will see of him before the purchase or not decision. I think its not a case of having to prove he is crap. It was up to him to prove he is worth his price. For one reason and another even if he was good he wouldnt be able to prove it now. If the guys was 21 and going for 200,000 or the like (like Niall McGinn) then it might be worth a leap of faith but Kamara would cost millions, big wages and is no spring chicken. Perhaps unlucky with injuries but we are not well off enough to take expensive punts.

    I hate it when people say 'the SPL is a shocking league'...for the size of the country we're in it's one of the best ones!!! We have a better league than the majority (if not all) of the countries with a similar population! (Such as the Irish, Georgian, Belarusian, Finnish & Moldovan leagues!) Obviously it's not going to be as good as the Premiership ffs, they have 10x the population! It's became fashionable to say how bad it is, living so close to England is the problem.

    thanks be *. i would prefer club give mccourt and mcginn and caddis and thompson and other young boys a chance instead signing kamara or anyone else. i would be happy if we added central midfielder and striker and left back and give young boys who stayed with us waiting for chance too play, kamara not the good anyway, was ok in last old firm but what else did he do, on injury table half time,
