I owe a big season to Fulham."[LNB]Kamara did admit contact had been made by Bordeaux, but he claimed the lack of interest from coach Laurent Blanc did not encourage him to consider the switch.[LNB]And he added in L'Equipe: "My representatives have been on the phone with (Bordeaux president Jean-Louis) Triaud. People have also spoken about a possible exchange with Marouane Chamakh.[LNB]"But Laurent Blanc hasn't called me. And when a coach doesn't phone you, that signifies that a club doesn't really want you.[LNB]"It would have been an honour for me to be coached by Laurent Blanc. But my priority now is Fulham. We must stop talking about me at Bordeaux."[LNB]
