Hull wanted Niasse.
The signed him on loan In the January window which is the beggars window. Different scenario come the summer.
Hull wanted Niasse.
He didn't miss a "sitter." I've watched that numerous times from different angles, and it was very easy to fluff that chance due to the way it bounced.
Surprised so many are against him, I think perhaps some have unrealistic expectations of what is achievable for someone trying to slot into our system.
I think he will improve as he gets used to playing with Son, Dele, Eriksen etc and they get used to him. There was one against Watford where Trippier flashed it across the goalmouth and he wasn't there - as he gets to know the players he will know what Trippier will do and so already be moving to get into place.
I like him and I think he occupies defenders which leaves space for Son, Dele etc if nothing else. Hope we persevere.
As my old PE teacher said to me once after I had missed a similar chance. Boy, I could have put that in with my cock.

I think he'll be better next term and should stay but depending on who else is available, I suspect we may well sell him if we find an upgrade. No room for sentiments here.Maybe we should loan him out to another Premier League side next season so he can play regular and hopefully find his feet in the league. If it works out we still have a player on our books and bring him back, if not we move him on. Thinking someone like Bournemouth or Southampton.
Caveat is we would need to bring someone in on or near Kane level, not easy I know
I am just looking at it through a different prism.Strikers need to score goals. Obviously you need hold up play etc, but if you're a striker who doesn't score you're not going to last very long.
With you all the way, ralph. He has the agility of a scarecrow.no I am sorry he was terrible yeah he rolled a defender but he has to score, he lifts it he scores and the miss it sums him up really - his link up play I am sorry but it was awful, his touch time after time goes nowhere and couldn't read a book let alone a game of football. He simply isn't good enough on the ball and he has no football brain, I am sorry if we can't do better than him as he will take us nowhere
Is it ok to expect a decent first touch? Or to be able to score a goal from a yard?
Unrealistic expectations? If you has said at the start of the season after we bought him he would score not a single prem goal bar penalty and one goal in all comps, what would you have said? This for the 2nd best team in the league.Surprised so many are against him, I think perhaps some have unrealistic expectations of what is achievable for someone trying to slot into our system.

No, just someone that can score a few goals. Son has 18 this seasonDecent first touch?

I personally think people have been spoilt by Kane and now think he is the standard and therefore why can't we get someone similar? Kane is a freak, he'd cost us easily £50M in today's market but we should just go and buy someone similar on our budget - behave!
I think he will score a few goals - other than pens. I also think he will be much better next season with more exposure to the rest of the team.No, just someone that can score a few goals. Son has 18 this season

Out of interest, if you'd sell him, who would you replace him with?
I hate that response. The club has lots of scouts. I dont care who they bring in as long as they can score goals.

The same scouts who scouted the very player you want to replace
LOL
And brought in Alli, Dier Lloris, Alderweireld etc....They are allowed a mistake dont you think?
