No he isn’t, he’s only provided two assists and only four goals, in spite of his incredible ‘talent’. There is absolutely no trophy in football for running very fast. He needs to learn to pass accurately or score. Lane quite obviously succeeds at that, now.
I won’t be changing my viewing preferences to watching Norwich in the coming seasons. If he cant do it for us now then he needs to be dropped to allow Lane to do what Kamara can’t.
Why on earth do we want to develop other teams players at our expense?
Just blindly repeating the goal and assists stats doesn't paint the entire picture at all. He has been dangerous, beats his man a lot and has provided a lot of dangerous chances that have been squandered, admittedly some he himself has squandered. Alex Robertson had very modest goal and assist stats but the wider importance of his play cannot be ignored, same with Kamara. Yes we would all like to have seen a little more end product but he has been irresistible at times and our best performer through patches. Better than any winger we have had since Jamal Lowe with the exception of Paddy Lane (although Lang has been excellent so far).
