I have absolutely no idea why or evidence to justify it....but from the moment he was introduced to the crowd at Goodison I thought...he doesn't look like a professional footballer..and nothing I've seen or heard in the past 2 months has done anything to allay my concerns.
I really can't remember a big signing that Evertonians are less arsed to see playing than this guy...again, for no obvious reason

Why am I thinking Per Kroldrup??
 
To be honest, I assumed that he was picked up at an opportune time as a longer term investment. So I was happy for him to take his time in settling in. Wasn't expecting to see him doing much this season but looking forward to seeing him after a proper pre season. Can't believe that people are judging him already.

Why is it unfair to question how a professional footballer isn't fit more than two months after signing? He's not even getting time for the u21s?

I don't think most are criticizing the player, they're critical of the transfer and substantial fee paid.

Martinez is almost indicating that he won't be playing a part this season...that would be fine if he was say Henen/Holgate and was bought for the future...but we're talking about a 13.5m signing here...and that, imo, indicates more than just fitness
 

Give him some time. Martinez buys players as a part of his longterm plan. He likely bought him in January as otherwise he probably would go elsewhere. We will see if he is any good after the summer break as he is going to be settled in.

SPOT ON...it's APRIL now and if you're not concerned, you should be. Didn't pay buttons for him did we, and no 'big' injury to speak of (wrist, that it?), yet still viewed as not ready????

2015 RUSSIAN footballer of the year allegedly.

But, there's still hope isn't there (isn't there?)...like he himself (oddly) said...

Niasse is strong, Niasse is tall. If nothing's going right, give Niasse the ball and he won't let you down

OK mate.
 
I've heard rumours that there is stuff going on at the club to find out who reccomended the signing, as he's only about 50% fit and a lot of the coaching staff and players think he's a bit crap. £13million cock up.

I hope Columbo is investigating otherwise we'll never really know..
 
Gut feeling is he will be shipped out in the summer for a loss and we will use the takeover as a reason and say we are signing better for now and he isn't needed. Not sure he will play much so we don't lose as much on him.

May be totally off the mark with that but seems strange he has had so little playing time so far.

..Fellaini looked awful for his first few months. The indication is that we have bought a dud but you never know.

Its comments like this that irk me. It's been OVER two months and the manager said he's about 50-60% match fit. This is a professional footballer, mate. Thats longer than a preseason and he's not even featuring for the u21's to get his fitness up. There is something very peculiar about this signing..

Again, its not the player that is getting questioned, its the transfer. And very rightly so.

At least he was deemed good enough to play though. What I would expect by now is for him to be in the team showing glimpses of what he can do, and for his minutes on the pitch to be increasing as he gets used to the league. You wouldn't expect to see the best of him until next season, but to see hardly anything tells me that Martinez doesn't think he's as good as he thought he was when he paid £13m.
