Tbh, nobody has shown the bit where he controlled the ball in the box, spun and got a shot on target. He's no world beater like, but its easy to pick out bits.

..he is an athletic professional footballer so you can expect him to play, it's just that he's clearly not close to being a £13m player. Watch him for the U23s and he'll get on the end of things and score but he's not technically as good as Calvert-Lewin and he struggles to link play.

Teammates will know his worth after half an hour training. He's a footballer, it's just a matter of finding his level.

To be fair to the club they gave martinez the money to spend on him. We as fans are always slating the club for a lack of investment, it was Martinez who spunked the money on him.

The rumours were there even before he kicked a ball in a match for us that he was no good. I remember watching his first game for us and he looked like he'd never played football before, like bambi in boots. He's off our wage bill now but the blame lies solely with old Bobby on this one. Hopefully he does alright for them and we can get some money back.

Doubt he's off our wage bill mate. Hull might be chipping in, but as desperate as they are, they're not stupid. They know what a colossal mistake we made.

I get all that mate, and I agree with you, its just that sometimes it feels that its a competition as to who can slag him off the most, admittedly, more on twitter than here, but it just makes me uncomfortable. I hope he does find his level and enjoys his football, just that it wont be with us as we require better footballers. The lad didn't choose his fee, but he's constantly judged on it. Not sure if anybody else saw his press conference the other day, but he handled the questions excellently and regardless of everything that's gone on, he just wants to do his best.

...well, you probably know my (uninformed) view that this transfer is rotten. Niasse is very much a part of it and has benefited enormously. As I say, it's guesswork on my behalf.

I have doubts myself about the validity of the transfer procedure, and Niasse has clearly benefited financially, but I'm not sure I would lump him in as being part of any collusion, more a (loosely termed) victim of it, as I reckon 90% of their decisions are made by the agents etc. I think we all agree that he's not good enough for Everton anyway, so that's all cool.

Of course it is, its what we do best.

Hull fans seem to think he is doing alright yet we want to keep pointing out he is rubbish. Its like we don't want him to play well and get a move away. Quite odd really.
