Palfy Posted January 21, 2018 Report Share Posted January 21, 2018 If we are going to play one up front for the rest of the season Niasse is the man to bring on when you need someone to get a goal, if we got rid of him and continued with Tosun as our main striker that would leave DCL to come on as the impact striker to get a goal, I really can't see DCL contributing in that role unfortunately scoring doesn't seem to be in his armoury, I even think Niasse will be here next season and if we buy another striker I can see DCL going out on loan.

Gwlad Posted January 21, 2018 Report Share Posted January 21, 2018 Travesty to get rid of Oumar, his attitude, after Koeman froze him out is admirable and he gives everything. Start him against Leicester. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pete0 Posted January 22, 2018 Report Share Posted January 22, 2018 How many teams have a striker as useful from the bench. Against tired legs his unorthodox shiteness (although that last goal was caught sweetly) always causes trouble much like Bolasie. As an impact player who would you rather have?

Niasse scores for fun.... look at his goals per minutes. He also shares lukakus inability to play football at a high level. He's in good company. Without the criticality of niasses goals we would be 19th.... He has won us 8 points on his goals alone. Must be awful for the football purists on here to stomach.... apparently we would have got relegated without lukaku (which was actually incorrect as per his flat track bully/score when game is already over goals.) We genuinely would be in the shit with our niasse.

Elston Gunnn Posted January 22, 2018 Report Share Posted January 22, 2018 I'm sort of a Niasse fan. I guess it's a combination of the fact that he does score a few goals, his movement is sometimes bizarrely effective, and his determined work ethic through the clumsy, even ugly, treatment has been admirable. I strongly oppose his being sold or loaned. I realize Allardyce has said he has to reduce the squad. Others seem more logical candidates for selling or loaning in this window than Niasse.

Haiku Posted January 22, 2018 Report Share Posted January 22, 2018 Rooney has brain and tired legs. Niasse has no brain, no technical ability, but is ruthlessly strong, fast and work hard. DCL is equally good and bad at everything. Cenk - we don't know him yet. Putting Cenk aside, Niasse is clearly our best striker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He may have a great goals to game ratio but that' because he isnt as good from the start. He has started 5 games and scored 2, Watford and Palace. Still roughly 15 goals a season mind!

Shukes Posted January 22, 2018 Report Share Posted January 22, 2018 He’s better than people give him credit for. He has finished off some very tidy goals. He’s also took a few players on.
