lappinitup 629 Posted November 11, 2015 Simple question really - which was the of these two legends was the better footballer?[+o(] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Katie Borkins 1 Posted November 11, 2015 Sibierski was better than both of them.Kamara did more & offered more options than Ricky. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lessingham Canary 99 Posted November 11, 2015 Haha, a simple question, that is not really that simple.For me RVW is probably the "better" footballer, but i would pick Kei Kamara every time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ron obvious 1,501 Posted November 11, 2015 KK every time. I still miss him - but then I''m a sentimental fool. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ruthers1 0 Posted November 12, 2015 Kei Kamara or RVW?Unemployed, retired or retarded Lapps?Whatever it is you''ve got too much time on your hands. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BroadstairsR 2,138 Posted November 12, 2015 Kei Kamara .... he was cheaper (and easier to unload.) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AJ 1,218 Posted November 12, 2015 One goal apiece I believe in the league so they''ll be even Stevens. I suppose Kei made a bigger impact but he''s no Mbokani! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Platonic 1 Posted November 12, 2015 Kei Kamara all day long. First player from Sierra Leone to score in the premier league. Also scored 1 in 11 as opposed to 1 in 23. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ron obvious 1,501 Posted November 12, 2015 And Wes stole his second goal! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Boris 56 Posted November 12, 2015 simply no enough qulaity in Kamara.Only his Fitnes help him.Ricky is different class by far but problem is after too long bad spell his confidence gone and without confidence no chanse to shine any forward in PL.On paper RVW was great signing as I never remember \may be Thomas Helveg\ we ever to bring from top Europe club who is Sporting top name.

It's Character Forming 1,160 Posted November 12, 2015 [quote user="ron obvious"]And Wes stole his second goal![/quote]Yes I remember - at Sunderland wasn''t it?Given how narrow the margins were , I think if we''d kept Kei and started him and he''d kept fit, we''d have stayed up. A limited footballer but he made things happen unlike RVW or Elmander. I remember Hghton playing him on the wing and he made a decent stab at it despite it being completely not his natural position.

Mr Apples 1,317 Posted November 13, 2015 Hmmmmmmmmm, Boris is Newton?Individually they didn''t make the mark. So the answer is neither.Apples Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Horse Renoir 1 Posted November 13, 2015 Kamara.I''m still bewildered by how RVW has made a career in the top leagues! I would pick Aaron Wilbraham ahead of him in the PL every single time.If he isn''t given acres of space by defences and isn''t playing with exceptional attacking midfielders he doesn''t even look like a footballer at times.Kamara is a slightly worse footballer but puts himself about physically so much more which just gives him the edge for me. Neither are even Championship level strikers, I''m happy for Kamara to get his chance in England but the fact we''ve shelled out over 10 million on these two in the past few years is sickening.If either was born in England they''d hyave struggled to make a professional career, think how much worse RVW would be for example if he hadn''t even had his Dutch youth coaching!

BroadstairsR 2,138 Posted November 13, 2015 It''s noteworthy that one of the many excuses we (and I very much include myself) made for RVW''s lack of impact was that he needed time to acclimatise to the English game, such as it is, yet Mbokani has adapted to the demands of the Premier League almost seamlessly.Even KK did that too, in his own way.Different styles indeed, but same game.
