If your definition of fun is 4 goals against Man City then no shots on target the next game against Burnley than yes, very fun indeed.
This s fine. View it as a replacement for Kone more than anything, or Naisse (sp?). All is good. Not a replacement for Lukaku though. More forward thinking players to come I hope

Everton have agreed a £2million deal for Caen starlet M'Baye Niang with the forward expected to sort out personal terms over the next couple of days. Niang impressed David Moyes during a recent trial on Merseyside and the Toffees boss has pipped Arsenal, Tottenham and AC Milan to the teenager.
Moyes is continuing to spend the £15m windfall from the sale of Jack Rodwell to Manchester City.
The move is another transfer blow for Arsene Wenger. The Arsenal boss was keen on Niang but was only offering a small part of the fee up front.
The capture of Niang, who has represented France at every youth level up to Under 21, follows the arrival of Belgian Kevin Mirallas at Goodison Park.

Everton miss out on young French star M'Baye Niang
AC Milan claim to have won the race to sign French starlet M'Baye Niang, with stories on their official website suggesting the highly-rated 17-year-old is poised to join them ahead of Everton.
Two separate articles on the Italians' official site made reference to the Caen striker, who has already represented France at under-21 level, saying he dined with vice-president Adriano Galliani last night and is set to undergo a medical today.
"Adriano Galliani flew into Milan last night and immediately went to a restaurant with new signing M'Baye Niang," the club said.
"Today he will have to pass his medical."

Overpriced and too inconsistent.really hope he is never on the same pitch as Mirallas and Bolasie. Plus will he join in with koeman's pressing game. Think we could get much better for that sum of money like Iheanacho

Exactly. And if, and I do mean if Koeman and Walsh want this fella then who is to say they won't have their minds changed again in 6 months?

Alright Ron Atkinson, chill out.
What do you mean exactly? They had said Deulofeu was good during his first couple of weeks because he was before he traditionally faded into obscurity at the end of the season.
They don't rate Niang clearly and they watched him a lot longer than they did Deulofeu before saying Deulofeu was good.
His goalscoring record is dire.
Good interview with him here. Seems to be level headed. However after reading the article, he definitely has (or had) a bit of Balotelli about him. Sounds like he's grown up a bit

On being viewed as the great emerging hope of French football a couple of years ago:
“‘You fall back much faster than you climb in this game’,” he read as if impressed by his younger self’s level-headed outlook.
On his slump at Milan, then his move to Watford
“But I have always lived by the principle that, whatever happens, it’s never about ‘failure’,” he said. “It’s about learning so you can improve and return to the top. I was at a big club, playing with big players. Now I’ve come here because, obviously, I need to learn more. So I will get my head down and work like a dog. If I do that then I will return to the top level again.
“I have real opportunities still ahead of me. If I do everything I can, I’m convinced I’ll improve and succeed. It wasn’t that my relationship with Milan broke down, but maybe I did need a change. My career needed it. We both recognised that. So I am here, playing in the best league in the world and enjoying a fresh challenge. That isn’t a sign of failure. I’ve joined a good club, a good team in the Premier League. I’m still young, and I know my objectives, my targets: play well for my club, help the team, win trophies, score lots of goals … the same targets they have always been. Now it’s about working, getting that consistency, and I hope that will allow me to find my way back to a big club. Voilà.
On why he left Milan
"I needed a fresh start. I had seasons at Milan when I played, and others when I didn’t and was out on loan at Montpellier and Genoa. They changed managers so often since I joined them [there have been six since his move to Italy in 2012] and, not wishing to make excuses, it does not make life easy for a young player if the coach is always changing. And, of course, football is all about hitting that level all the time, and I wasn’t consistent enough. Maybe that’s what counted against me most of all.”
On his mistakes and his reputation
“When we’re young, we all have problems,” said Niang, who acknowledged some of his own have been self‑inflicted. “Certainly, go back two or three years, and I was still making mistakes. Silly mistakes. Mistakes which hurt me. Now I’d like to think I am a bit more mature, a bit wiser, and I understand more about life and the way things work. These days, I can fall back on my experiences to help me. I can learn from those mistakes.”
