Oumar Niasse

His wife is complaining on Twitter that he isn't being given a fair chance. Which means he's complaining that he isn't being given a fair chance. Which means he's fit, not injured and Martinez just doesn't think he's good enough to start over Kone.

£14m wasted.

He didn't tell us that in January.

Martinez has destroyed the lad even before he's kicked a ball for us.

Niasse tho, £13.5m.

Pookie not a happy bunny?

 

[LouReedwalkonthewildside]

I've heard a rumour he's going back to Russia for £5m. Don't shoot the messenger ffs.

Baines' lad.

 

[Groucho]

Look, it ain't looking good for the lad, is it?

 

[BlueLlama]

Over the summer he will be edited out of the team photos, his number will appear empty on the squad list and we will all pretend it never happened.

Begs the question, why sign him?

Or his wife happens to read social media and sees him getting slated AOTS.

She's still got a point though.

Tangent alert, but this did occur to me as well. Everton have kept McAleny on the books for years, and yet he has never really got anywhere near the first team match day squad. He is now 23 and older than Lukaku and no decision has ever been taken to call it quits. Instead of spunking £13.5m on a risky investment, why not give him the run in the squad he needed and then we could make an informed decision one way or the other? Not saying that McAleny is class or anything but how we can we ever judge the youngsters if we splurge out on someone we really had never heard of?

....we'll know if he's not on the Christmas calendar.

Wild speculation doesn't equal a point.

There was lots of talk shortly after his signing that we were only aware of his 'availability' at the last minute, so the deal went through quickly.

I wonder therefore whether that the rushed aspect of the transfer may have actually meant he was not thoroughly scouted beforehand.

Let's face it, he can't have done any worse.
