Oumar Niasse

[Nyhus]

Niasse has never been injury prone. I read somewhere, that the first match he missed during his pro carrer because of injury was while playing at Everton.

 

[Tubey]

€10m instead of £10m so that's closer to £8.4m. If we got anywhere near the for him then I'd snap their hand off. Not worth £8!

Anything above £3m is an absolute miracle at this point.

 

[PhilM]

Could explain why he wasn't involved in the squad that travelled over to Germany.

 

[Dymak]

After McGeady (who was genuinely rated very highly and missed when he left) and Niasse (player of the year) - why are we falling over ourselves to pay big money for Witzel? Performance in the Russian League doesn't seem to correlate at all with doing well in the Premier League. However much you hate the guy now there's no denying that Niasse is very highly rated in Russia. So was McGeady. Surely you'd think the scouting network would be swerving Russia altogether now.

Witsel has performed well in the Champions League and international level, and also in the Belgian and Portuguese leagues as well as Russia.

Which is concerning when martinez said he was 50-60% ready... when in reality it was like "OH MY GOD, this player is proper crap we can't ever let him on the pitch"

 

[tim cahill]

Just reading on wiki he played 28 games in two seasons in Russia, showing clearly how unfit/injury prone he is.. And he arrived "ready to play" as Martinez said, yet was injured for the first three months?

Someone has written "he is known for his pace and strength" surely a p@@@ take?

You don't still believe he was injured do you?

Niasse is one of those players that makes me a bit ashamed to be a blue at times. He's made 7 appearances, most of which were less than 30 minutes. That's enough for the majority of our fanbase to completely write you off, to force you out the club, to send your wife abuse on twitter and join some kind of sad bandwagon of baseless hatred.

Niasse has been poor for us so far, yes. But he scored 40 goals in two seasons in the Russian league prior to us signing him. Maybe he's bullshitting, but he and his agent both insist he was on his way to Chelsea in January before Mourinho was sacked. I'm not even saying the lad is good, I don't know, but is the hatred really justified? We proper live up to our bitter name at times.

Give the lad a ****ing chance. He joined us with a broken wrist, having not played a game in seven weeks and working with a clueless manager who knows nothing about fitness. We're all fuming that we haven't signed Witzel from the Russian league; yet he didn't even make the player of the year shortlist. Niasse won the ****ing thing right before joining us.

LET'S GIVE HIM THE #9 SHIRT EH LADS IT'LL INSPIRE HIM TO BE DEAD GOOD.

Yep, thats probably exactly what happened. Whoever scouted him should be fired.

I think they have left mate... Kevin Reeves.

Or they just watched Youtube.... which i think is probably more accurate.

 

[Elong]

I don't really think we need to haggle over the price on this one, a penny would be a bonus.

 

[Nyhus]

Good! I never want to see us throw money away like this ever again!

 

[ToffeeDoug]

A Penny Dreadful perhaps?

 

[PhilM]

I don't really think we need to haggle over the price on this one, a penny would be a bonus.

I suspect it's one of those negotiations whereby:

Everton: We want €10m Euros!
Galatasaray: We're looking more €4m...
Everton: Will you accept say €8m?
Galatasaray: How about we meet in the middle at €3m?
Everton: Deal!

 

[MikeH72]

Anything above £3m is an absolute miracle at this point.

Since it's been established that he isn't a footballer, that sort of money is unbelievable

...Except he never won POTY in Russia.
