Roberto Martinez was delighted to finally hand Oumar Niasse his first start against Bournemouth on Saturday - but he does not feel the Senegalese striker needs to justify his £13.5million fee before the end of the season in order for the Everton manager to be trusted with Farhad Moshiri’s transfer war chest.
Serious doubts persist whether the Catalan will still be in charge come the summer to spend the new Blues shareholder’s cash injection on the squad but he denies that his future hinges on Niasse’s fortunes.
Martinez said: “I arrived at the club in 2013 in a very, very important moment because in that transfer window we lost probably the most important goalscoring threat we had in the team with Marouane Fellaini and Victor Anichebe.
“We bought Romelu Lukaku, Gareth Barry and James McCarthy. The average age was 30, now it’s 26.
“The record is there, I don’t think it’s about the last signing, it is on the work that we have done over the last six windows and the way we have developed young players.”
Given that Saturday’s visit of Bournemouth was seen as a must-win game for Everton, many were surprised that Martinez chose to hand Niasse his first start with top scorer Lukaku dropped to the bench.
The Blues boss said: “We brought Oumar Niasse in, he was voted the best Footballer in the Russian League.
“He is a player who can be very important for us. When he arrived in January it was a moment in which he needed to work on his fitness.
“Finally now we’ve been able to put him on a level in which he’s been able to compete.
“He’s not the finished article because he’ll need a bit of an adaptation period but I thought his contribution was important.
“Rom has played 44 games, it was a really demanding game both physically and mentally in the semi-final.
“The impact of sharing the roles worked really well with Rom coming on for the last half an hour.
“Games change a little bit, especially at this stage of the season and Rom made a massive, massive impact.
“Oumar worked his way in for an hour in which he started to develop a relationship with certain players and the fans were able to see our player.
“It’s going to take a bit of time but it was important for him to start to get that introduction.”
Martinez added: “You need to have a belief in all the players that you’ve got in the squad and I’ve got that belief with Oumar.
“It was a day that we had to win but we had to do it not in the normal way that we do it because we had big players missing.
“It was about finding that character and that togetherness and that extra desire to get a win.
“I thought Oumar could bring us that freshness and that different approach and overall the team performed in that manner.”

Though he showed brief glimpses against Bournemouth of what he might be able to offer us.
Couple of good runs, some good passes and showed some fight to win the ball back a couple of times (more than can be said for some players in recent weeks).
Still looked like he was struggling to adapt to the pace and physicality of the game, but that may come with time.
Basically he pulled me out of the abyss and plopped me back on the fence.

Martinez highlights his own mistake in that statement - he paid premium, January money for Niasse to take pressure off Lukaku. The fact that he couldn't start a game until our season was long over is an absolute cock-up, regardless of how good (or bad) Niasse turns out to be, especially when you consider he had no Premier League experience and couldn't play even if he was fit.
