Aye.

In his defence, all managers sign duds. Kroldrup, for example. Brett Angell. List is endless.

Of course he's not flopped yet.

Brett Angell, why did you bring him up and ruin my day. I'm having flashbacks.

Cheers buddy

I'm missing the joke lads.

Please explain.

I wasn't joking Groucho

I'm very worried about RM's lack of desire to play him, if I was manager and had lashed out £13.5m on him, I would be wanting to show him off to the world pretty pronto. My natural suspicion leads me to smell a dud here (why isn't he fit after nearly 10 weeks with us) but I will reserve any judgement until he has played more games. Play him from the start today and see how he gets on and how long he lasts, simples.

Still waiting for a further response from @Caolam

Imagine he starts today,has his usual hilarious display,stays on for 90mins and we get spanked

Where does that leave Roberto?

If he is a complete dud then RM as to face the music. No way he will last 90 mins though, RM's unwritten rule of wingers (assuming we play Niasse on the left) is to hook them after 65 mins even if playing well.

If he turns out to be good he could save his job for him. A risk we have to take I suppose.

Hes only 20% fit according to Robertooo. The fitness guys at finch farm must be dishing out a harsh training programme of Jeremy Kyle reruns and doner kebabs

A few week back, Everton played FC Osterlund was it in a friendly at Finch Farm, players like Piennaar got a game, but Niasse didn't feature. Why not, if his fitness was an issue?

Because we probably wanted to win the game, and Niasse playing would have been prohibitive to that outcome.

Because it probably isn't anything to do with his 'fitness' par se, and much more likely that they are deseperately trying to get him to work on other stuff in training so he resembles a footbaler, not playing the mid week under 21s game also seems to highlight the fact that the concern is to not let people see how poor he is looking - if it was fitness he would have played eithe rof those two games or both

It strikes me of a case of '[Poor language removed] we can't let them see what we spent 14m quid on' - maybe especially so in the current climate when it will be used as further ammunition against the manager.

Feel a bit sorry for the lad as the way this is getting handled so far has got fans who looked forward to seeing him and where optomistic about him now really against him already

I suspect you are right here, the fitness issue is a smokescreen being used to hide concerns elsewhere.

The management of the player by RM has been dreadful though, he didn't get the last 20 mins or whatever when 3 up at Villa but gets thrown in against West Ham when they had the ball and were lumping it into our box.

I saw him warming up before the game, he was going to start, but someone passed him the ball and he fell over it, so he had to sit the game out.

We could have spent the transfer money on a PR expert for Robertooo. Our ears would be saved some verbal tripe

Pleading the 5th on this one, I have obviously seen something funny that is not there. But I did laugh out loud.

This guy has a worse reputation than Bakayoko already. At least Bakayoko got a chance to prove how useless he was.

I'll love it if he starts a game before the end of the season and scores.

"Scenes of disbelief amongst the Everton fans as Niasse scores." lol
