Fulham stuck with Kamara

Well, it doesn't look like Joe's going anywere. He's damaged his knee ligaments playing for Senegal and is likely to be out for six months which means we won't be seeing him in a white shirt until next year at the very earliest...

...So, despite hints that there were other clubs sniffing after him and the prospect of recouping some of his £6m price tag (no, I can't believe we paid that much either) we're now stuck with another multi-million pound 'star' in the treatment room.

I actually like Joe and he scored some real belters last season, particularly the two crucial strikes at Manchester City which helped turn our season around, but he's very much a 'luxury' player who, by his own admission, didn't exactly set the world alight last season.

Therefore, if we had sold him I wouldn't have been too upset. What we have now, though, is the worst of all worlds. A bit-part, expensive player who we can't even use. With the departure of McBride our attacking options for next season look extremely limited. Let's hope Roy has got something up his sleeve otherwise we'll effectively be in a relegation fight before we've even started.
