Guest Posted January 30, 2013 The club must be expecting him to get a work permit easily enough, but has he actually played that many games for his country? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BroadstairsR 2,273 Posted January 30, 2013 When I think of Jacko and Kane I can only feel glad about this signing. There must be something about him as we haven''t just picked him out from a list of Soccer League players with a pin. I''m looking forward to seeing him in action in the yellow, but am not looking forward to having settle for him as the only new striker this window. His arrival has to open the floodgates for me. Well Winkelgate or Hoopergate or even Becchiogate at least. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AJ 1,359 Posted January 30, 2013 I wouldn''t mind him here. From the footage I''ve seen of him he seems to be very much like Grant Holt - strong and powerful, but surprisingly mobile. Seems to be a decent finisher and has plenty of charisma and personality - I think he''d be a decent addition over Jackson, Morison, Martin and VaughanIn the long term the latter two are definitely gone, and the former two will be replaced no doubt in the summer (hopefully!)

star_manic 0 Posted January 30, 2013 he''s more of a winger than a striker according to Wikki Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
norfolkchance1 0 Posted January 30, 2013 Hopefully he''s decent.Then to the tune of Delilah we can sing Kei Oh Kei Kamara.I''ll get my coat. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SYG 0 Posted January 30, 2013 I see this as a very good/exciting signing. But would be very underwhelmed if he along with LB are our only signing this window Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
willo 0 Posted January 30, 2013 Hucks has just tweeted first signing imminent, considering his links to Kamara I would think this is a near cert.Also, Grant Wahl, USA press reporter re tweeting messages of various people wishing him all the luck and success.

AJ 1,359 Posted January 30, 2013 Officially announced by BBC, just waiting for the work permit - no knowledge of a fee at this stage yet either Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Alan_Grey 0 Posted January 30, 2013 Reading MLS fans tweets on the matter, there is plenty of surprise that Kamara is to play in the premier league. Time will tell :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Patches OHoolahan 0 Posted January 30, 2013 http://www.thedailywiz.com/2013/1/30/3931442/kei-kamara-leaving-sporting-kc-for-norwich-cityReading this article a couple of things leap out at me. The deal appears to be a loan until the end of the season making it less of a risk than a permanent. The author also states that Kamara''s best position is as a right winger, and his assist statistics are impressive even though he''s playing against a lower standard of defence.Does this mean more competition for Snodgrass/ Pilkington than it does for our strikers? One concern for me though is his lack of match fitness. Its the MLS off season so he won''t have played competitive football for quite a while. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
technika 0 Posted January 30, 2013 please let it be a loanhe looks rubbish, if he was any good he would have played for a decent club by now, 28 year old "talents" do not suddenly appear in the mls Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dubai Mark 0 Posted January 30, 2013 I really have a lot of confidence in CH''s signings, his record is right up there with the best when it comes to success of his signings for us. With what little there is on YouTube, Kamara looks to me to be different to what we have and could well be a bit of a handfull for some defences. I would not be surprised at all if he is the first of three strikers coming in. I really like the look of Becchio despite some of the negative comments I have read, he will definately be a big plus for us as another different style of striker, could easily play off Holt from what I can see and even though I like Jackson he looks a level above him, very sharp, good finisher.

ricky knight 0 Posted January 30, 2013 i s he really better than what we have, i doubt it, imo he would have been picked up before the age of 28. totally underwhelmed to be honest. We talk of Graham and Hooper and end up with a two bobber, hope he proves me wrong, Another Kane type signing imo. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jb 0 Posted January 30, 2013 sorry, my comparison might have come across as negative - didn''t mean it to be at all - had a real soft spot for Oli, and Kamara''s general style reminded me of him. Still remember Oli''s first few moments on the pitch for NCFC against Exeter(?)... mazy run and a curling shot just over the bar. vital goals against Southend too - we were awful for 88 minutes that night.

Gingerpele 0 Posted January 30, 2013 To the poster who said Kamara would/should have been picked up before 28, how can you say that when we''ve proven the past two seasons with a number of players that just because they haven''t been given a chance in the Prem before, does''t mean they can''t do it. Holt is probably the only one of that age, but we had a number of players come either straight from League One or only having one year in the Championship. Drury''s premiership appearances outnumbered the rest of the squads easily.Anyone writing this guy off before he''s even played, well all I can assume is you''ve completely ignored last season (and this one, because despite popular belief we are still a good (enough) side, we aren''t bottom of the table or anything like that) because we''ve proven that you don''t need established premiership players to succeed.
