Am I the only one who finds it disbelieving they ‘adulation’ this bloke gets for being possibly one of the worst forwards I’ve witnessed playing for us. I’m sure it’s a bit like gallows humour because people seriously still can’t believe this bloke (as nice a fella as he is) deserves to be anywhere near our bench.

He doesn't get adulation though (to be fair you did put quotation marks around adulation).

I just think some people grew sick of other people slating him all the time. Questioning his professionalism (the new Ali Dia etc etc) and acting like he had never kicked a ball in his life.

For me he is nowhere near one of our worst ever forwards purely due to the fact that he won us a couple of games. Its more than say John Spencer, Brett Angell, Sandro etc did.

Also why does Niasse get ridiculed for being "a competition winner" yet the likes of Sandro and Tosun who have worse and similar records to Niasse get classed as just being "not suited" to the league etc

It's nothing to do with deserving anything, he is a good pro who works hard and can score a goal or create a chance.

He is obviously not great (or even that good generally) but he is nowhere near as bad as some make out as he has his uses and has shown that he can score goals at the top level.
 
I think he’s definitely the type of player who would jump at the chance of starting every game rather than doing nothing but he’s well out of his depth. Championship or Scottish PL at his best

Guarantee he's turned down a move or six based on the wage drop that would come with it. He'll not move for starts unless Everton are subsidising his wages at his new club either by paying a chunk of them directly or waiving a huge chunk of a transfer fee.

I’d charge him £50k per week for the use of his locker.......

Exactly this . He's never going to be thought of as an Everton legend but he's done his best with the tools given to him . He's physical and has a great attitude . His touch isn't even the worst I've seen in an Everton player . It's just that he hasn't got the quickest footballing brain and his composure is lacking. He's erratic but has the ability to finish .
Will he be remembered in the same way as Dixie , Linekar , Royle , Latchford or Sharp ? God no but he's a lot better than some of the flops listed above although I had a soft spot for Angell .
I'd say he's just below MoJo in the list of forwards who have donned our gorgeous royal Blue .
