Seems like a decent signing and not sure what some people are expecting with a limited budget. Importantly JB is getting to pick his own team and we’ll soon see if he is going to work some league two magic. The keeper situation will be the biggy.
At least 3 or 4 on here are underwhelmed; of whom two already sharpening their knives. Talk about Deja Vu Can see where JB is coming from; a team likely to bulldoze their way out of League 2!

From the highlights reel he looks to be strong with a solid touch. We needed someone who could play with their back to goal last year. I think he looks a very good signing, a target man with a bit of mobility.

Without wishing to be argumentative, who has said anything about what our budget is likely to be? I wouldn’t have thought Brady, Foyle (and Calderwood to come?) would have signed on for the “project” without assurances that we’re going to give it a decent crack?

Apparently he can't keep his footing, imagine him & Ashley-Seal upfront. I wonder if them swapping boots with each other would work?

At first glance he appears to have the physical attributes which we lacked last season: power and pace. However, we’ve made ‘first glance’ signings before and they haven’t got us very far.
I’d like to know the extent to which KT’s much-heralded new data-based approach was used for this signing. For instance, is his percentage of aerial duels won and his ratio of hold-ups to lay-offs significantly better than what we have already? (Killie fans’ testimony would suggest not.)
Also not sure that getting a former loanee full back to say a couple of words about his mate constitutes a thorough ‘character reference’.
I’m not getting at Kabamba per se here - as others have said he could well do a Vadaine Oliver and prove a very astute signing. What I’m concerned about is whether the recruitment process in general has improved. The first thing I would be asking KT/JB if I was a journalist (or in one of the open forums) is simply: tell me how this signing is evidence of an improved recruitment process.

Having read the Kiliie forum appreciated this comment : " t hink there is a player in Kabamba if properly coached .Wasn't that lobg ago he was supposedly being scouted from Bournemouth .a very frustrating player reminds of Jerome Varielle "

So we have one of the new strikers in, I am neither over or underwhelmed.
Time will tell if he is any good, remember how many people bemoaned Oliver last season and he bagged more than just a few at Gillingham this season.
Interesting to see exactly how "quick" he is compared to our current crop.

Killie fans though haven’t seen our useless bunch of strikers for comparison, 9 goals would definitely be a big improvement on what our guys got!.

No argument here. Wasn’t suggesting our budget isn’t competitive for league 2 but how many league 2 players generate any serious excitement, especially before you see them?! If we get Atkins, Calderwood, Chambers, Bayo and why not Trevor Morley, we’ll have no money left.

once we get rid of BAS and Smith we may have a bit more spending power , but who is likely to take them ? I believe people will realise after this summer’s recruitment that actually the problem within this club is actually much deeper set . No one has taken the club forward financially in a long time and questions must be asked over what happened to the Goode and play off money from last season. Everything is in place from a football management point of view but no one can keep being expected to over perform by 10 league positions per season to cover up the cracks .

The Goode money was used for good old ‘running costs’ and meant that the chairman didn’t have to write any cheques until the end of April...... The playoffs would have cost the club money, there was no income, and the loss in match day revenue was negated by the FA cup run money and the PL bailout cash......

This playing budget crap. You need a team, players that will go the extra mile and never give up. Just ask the Morecambe fans what is possible. And it happens every year up and down the country.

Your right the playing budget is crap, KT is throwing his toys out of his pram because the nasty council won’t give him his cake and eat it.
