We need a finisher! Niasse looks like he knows where the back of the net is! Dio couldn't finish his dinner let alone a chance on goal! He's been put through on goal a few times now and not converted one of them...apart from the Palace game which was the hardest of them all.

Ironic considering Dio had a better goal scoring record before coming to England...
 
There's clearly something not right with Niasse given Everton's treatment of him. If he had just scored 8 in 13 for Moscow or whatever it was and we were bidding £13.5m for him right now we'd all be quite excited. What you can find from his time at Everton he looks total dog ****, but he can't be that bad for Everton to have even considered buying him in the first place, unless he was never even watched before hand which is unlikely.

As mentioned already on loan what have we got to lose? I'm willing to give him a chance. If he's **** then he's **** and at worst we've wasted a loan spot which wasn't being used anyway.

It's pretty strange that after starting 2 games they decided they don't want him. But I did read that he had been arrested since arriving in England on suspicion of assault, may have a bit of an attitude problem.
 
Must admit to having serious doubts as to whether Niasse is good enough, but I don't really have too many doubts that Dio isn't good enough- I guess that makes me willing to see us gamble, especially given we're not going to be spending anything like big bucks.

The Allams aren't going to spend big, realistically we carnt afford a pl proven goalscorer so unfortunately whoever we sign is a punt. At least he knows what the pl is about and he doesnt need time to adjust to England as he's already here. Its a loan deal so if he's crap he'll go back and if he's good i assume we have the option to sign him (providing we stay up)
As always it's a punt but beggars carnt be choosers
 
My worry is Niasse seems to be on Ehabs radar rather than Silva's.
That may be the case, but looking at Marco and his mean looking gang can't see them putting up with any interfering nonsense or **** from Wee Willie, so, as LBIA said if Marco thinks they are worth giving these two a go, give him benefit of the doubt. As others have said, we are not throwing megga money at them, he may well be able to get a tune out of them, beggars can't be choosers!
 
But are you sure it was Ehab? You seem to have a very harsh opinion on very flimsy information.
Saying it smells like ehab is clearly not me being sure. Merely pointing out we were linked heavily last window which was clearly pre-Silva. Not sure what was harsh.

Again that's all fine if silva is actually involved, I suspect he will be told he's getting niasse. A lot of clubs work this way.

It's not really a free hit as such because he's using one of our loan spots that could be put to better use

You don't think you are being harsh on Niasse?
