Stracqualursi levels of admiration and hope for this lad. What a story if he could contribute to a successful season.

He won't

Imagine if he slots against the lot

This. Right now when DCL gets the ball I just don't sense there is any threat to the goal (happy to be proven wrong on this in coming months) . Niasse is more of a tricky threat.

He is a threat in the sense that neither he nor anyone else has any clue what he'll end up doing.

He won't

I bet you were the kid at school who told everyone Santa wasn't real.

Could work. Tactical wild card number 34, with 10 minutes on the clock, 0-0, commence Operation Niasse.

The pace and power we have longed for ha ha ha ha ha ha ha....

Be a bit like roulette though.

One day we'll stop imagining players "banging in the winner in front of the kop" because we've done it with about 200 players since it last happened.

Yep. The lad has already won the lottery.

Can we add a blue locker with a white ribbon on it to the banner at the top of this thread, please?

Think Phil McNulty's latter point is true with this.

I think koeman was happy about the board and that they did try to get the striker in, but none of the 2 on the list came trough, so Koeman didnt want to go further down the picking list, cause then we could do just as well with the strikers we have.

He won't.

 

[marnie]

Love it, Amo 2.

Or it could end up like this lol

 

[Chozz]

Nope, but if Koeman decided to then I would trust his judgement (but it's obvious he's not going too)

Niasse get's a lot of grief, one thing about the lad though that nobody can fault, he just got on with everything he was told to do, no whinging, just got his head down and got on with it, and even though it was for the U23s, he still played with a smile on his face.

Waits for someone to say "earning that kind of money, I would be playing with a smile on my face"

Fair enough, but think about it, what kind of players tend to throw their toys out of the pram / go on strike / kick up a fuss?

I'll tell you who...talented players in demand - coerced by their agents to do so.

Unfortunately nobody wants poor Oumar. Even this statement by Ronko today is a dig at the top brass for not getting in better quality strikers.

I wish he was a better player but I don't think he is. I hope he can prove me wrong...
