2017/18 Oumar Niasse

[TheBlueGibbon]

He will still be 4th choice at best as centre forward. He's going to be behind Sandro, DCL and Rooney at least.

 

[BigBlueConk]

Once he starts banging them in....

 

[faddy the blue]

Would be a great story if he can actually pull on the Everton shirt and get a few goals. He should be motivated because his reputation was tarnished and this way he will regain some respect. His attitude has been fantastic. He could have done a Costa and jetted off to Senegal while he still got his hefty wages, blaming Everton and Koeman. He'd have more of a case too. Instead he has shown brilliant attitude. I believe given a pat on the back and some confidence he may score a few goals for us. It would be a great end to his Everton story. He will still leave us soon but he will leave with his held up high.

 

[KaiserEFC]

So he gets put in first team training and suddenly he's this great and untried goal scorer and the missing piece of our jigsaw?

Get an absolute grip ffs the guy couldn't even get sympathy games from the muppet who signed him.

 

[Yorkie89]

If he comes in and scores the winner against the RS and scores a few in the games where we are struggling to break teams down then its win win

 

[stamullenblue]

Look on the bright side. Even if he can't play football he's no worse than Kone !

 

[Barnfred 55]

'A List B-eligible player is one who will be 21 or younger on January 1, 2018 — and has spent at least two years registered with the club. In Everton’s case, Mason Holgate, Callum Connolly, Jonjoe Kenny, and Tom Davies are List B players.

Again, note that teams may have as many List B players as they’d like — which is why Arsene Wenger’s ArsenalEuropa League squad has 42 players in total!'

List B doesn't have a limit so it's no harm to put Conno on there (in case we are even more short of options at LB than we are now). I suspect there should be a call-back clause in the loan agreement with Ipswich anyway.

Thats what I assumed at first but wss told current loan system doesnt allow this. Maybe that only applies to domestic comps and theres a loophole for EL. There must be some reason.

 

[Bungle]

Give him a run of games up front and watch him thrive. He's never been given a proper chance, what harm can it do?

I appreciate we aren't a charity or rehoming centre for lost strikers, but let's not exaggerate how terrible he is. In a few games when he starts banging goals in when fully fit you'll all be crawling over each other to say "Oh I always said he'd come good."

Leave Oumar alone and let him do his thing.

 

[bullybeef]

Needs to be given a chance.

I hope he takes it as well.

Niasse is our saviour.

 

[thebluenosebolt]

Aye. More than happy to give him a fair chance. He has earned that right. I'm glad Koeman has gone back on what he said previously and swallowed some of that aloofness.. and also glad that Niasse will finally be able to play without any expectation from us. Win win.
Hope he gets on the bench against spurs at least.

 

[bullybeef]

Oh and by the way he needs to be played up top and through the middle not on the wing.

 

[Toffee in Jandals]

We're going to be playing two games a week right up to the next international break. I'd be surprised if Oumar doesn't get a run-out, even if only from the bench, over that time.

Maybe Sunderland in the league cup.

 

[ijjysmith]

Sell to Turkey.

 

[Jeff Jones]

I think he can be better than most here think. How much better, we might find out.

He must get some game time even if Ramirez and Calvert Lewin do as well as we hope.

We have to give him a chance.

 

[NSNO_Phil_1878]

Scenes when he gets a last minute winner in the Gwladys tomorrow...
