Oumar Niasse

[Stan Lee Park]

BBC now reporting that Palace are discussing loan deal for Niasse

 

[larbert toffee]

Sky have said he was Russian player of the year in 2015. Is that true?

Russian football agents obviously give this one out.

 

[danny=)]

I wonder if Pardew will bet us a mars bar that Niasse will score more goals than Bolasie

 

[Daveysgingerlovechild]

Has he finally admitted he's not a football player but a basketball player sold to Martinez as part of an elaborate prank?

The Senegalese striker arrived in a £13.5m deal on transfer deadline day at the start of February, the third-highest fee paid for a player by the club to date but has struggled to justify that massive price tag.

“Niasse, in my opinion, is not what we need for the future in that position,” Koeman said, “but good luck to the boy.”

Smart man that Ronnie. But who is the future?

I'm sure it was mention on here that it was actually a complete fallacy. All he won was a player of the month award from an unrepeatable source.

For some reason I believe it was @bluestevon who mentioned it, however I might be totally incorrect there.

Aye mate a few others called it as bogus as well, but if it gets Palace to take them off him - then he was also voted Russian player of the decade, the best African player to ever play in Russia and most eligable bachelor 4 years running, he also won the annual Russia first division competition for who can catch the most chickens with their bare hands in 3 minutes

 

[Deleted member 28206]

Thought he looked good for 10 mins. He'll do well for us.

 

[Chimpy Glassman]

Got some mins and a couple of touches....and so it begins...

Did more in that 10minutes than Kone has in 3 years.

Looked a unit, thats for sure.

It'll all work out right.. (not Bernie)

Yes, yes. We were all conned.

 

[f.t.r.s]

This palace deal could be a good deal all round.
Minimum it means is a year off paying his wages.
best possible outcome he somehow impresses enough to earn a deal and a decent amount of his fee back.
Even more unlikely outcome he adapts to english football after a full season, impressing enough to show he's worth keeping.

 

[d4kyxx]

Surprised if we don't think he's good enough for the prem that palace do?

From what I've seen he looks like one of the worst signings ever to come to the premier league but why do I get the feeling he will prove me wrong?

 

[Blue Cheese]

He is really poop, total shutdown from the boss there, not often you see that.

 

[Goat]

I knew he was bad, just how bad is unreal.

 

[LostLegend]

I hope there was/will be a massive internal enquiry regarding this lad.

To have a player flop because he struggles to adapt to a particular league is one thing, but to sign one that the current manager writes off after a handful of preseason minutes is totally unacceptable at this level given the fee involved.

I'd like to think the scouts at this club are fairly decent given some of the talent we have unearthed in our skint years. So it raises the question of "did anyone at the club actually watch him play"?

Sounds like a ridiculous thing to to say, but really, what other explanation is there?

Panic buy of the worst kind. Just hope we have learned a very expensive lesson here
