2017/18 Oumar Niasse

[roydo]

Tosun would do that...

I like Cenk. No idea why, but I can see a Mark Hughes type striker in him, in the right team.

But soz, this is Niasses corner of the internet.

 

[PhilM]

I'm more than happy to keep Niasse in and around the squad for he has proven that he is able to come on, upset defences and influence games.

His nine goals this season isn't a shabby record either to be fair when you consider his overall role, how we've played and lots of sub appearances.

You simply can't knock his do-or-die attitude either, which again I think we've lacked in some of our players over the previous few season.

While I'm not claiming that he's a fantastic striker, I do feel he has a role to play and would be disappointed if we let him leave in the summer.

A new striker (preferably agile, pacey and a good finisher), Tosun, Niasse and perhaps another isn't a too shabby front line all things considered.

 

[Gladystweet]

Yeah, thats kind of what I was getting at. That FA Cup goal would never be given now, and the 80s level of snide has pretty much gone, but the making the most of what they both have, or had, did chime with me earlier.

Something else Gray was very good at, leading. Never shut up, always ranting and urging his team mates on, and was always first in when trouble kicked off.
Again, not taking anything away from Niasse on his own thread, but I'd love a Gray character right now.

Said it before. Defenders, especially when he comes on as a sub, must absolutely hate playing him.

"Watford looked forward to the day. We were there to win"

Or sommet. Pretty sure that was him.

It was indeed. Like Big Nev, he hated losing.

 

[LouReedwalkonthewildside]

ok?

I'm just fishin for the Lewin lovers mate.

 

[LouReedwalkonthewildside]

Or better yet sell him

That would be a given for me sagey, if not sell, then loan him to someone at his level, like Cowdenbeath.

..love that as a measure. Think of CBs on the team bus home and what they’re saying about the opposition CF.

 

[sageyefc]

If we can actually create some chances for our strikers next year the golden boot is as good as his

At a slightly lower level, we had our own Niasse in our Bristol Regional League. He was tragic as a player, even at our level, but we would lob him on if needed, 15/20 minutes left, and Fred, bless him, would just barge and run and harry defenders all over the shop.

 

[diggerdestroyer]

Never a starter. But can be useful off the bench. If given the choice of sub between dcl and niasse its the african prince every time. Id keep him.

I'd have the singer Prince before DCL, and he's not been too good lately....

 

[Marius57]

Loan out DCL, bring in another striker. Niasse is effectively third choice but offers something that no one else really does, so could often be used as the second striker.

If tosun gets injured, we also have Walcott who can play down the middle if a new striker/Niasse was cutting it. We need to bring in a decent second choice striker who could also play in a 2 with tosun, but would be foolish to let Niasse leave when he has shown he can get us out of bad scrapes.

..absolutely, but imagine if they have quality as well. Imagine that team bus after two CBs had marked a Suarez or even the speed and quality of a Lineker. Sometimes with Lukaku I imagined the CBs would talk about the weather. It’s why he’s not the complete deal.
