Transfer Rumour M'baye Niang

[jinkyali]

when AC Milan are happy to loan him to Watford

When he then only scores two whilst at Watford

You think to yourself... no

But as it's Everton, we always have to have one useless signing every year

Didnt Arteta not cut it at a club before coming to us?
Didnt Pienaar fail at his club?

Chill out.

If he comes in, trust Walsh's and Koeman's judgement. They'll only do it if they're both confident that we can get the best out of him.

Strange one but as someone else said, Gana proved to be a good buy after initial doubts so let's wait and see.

Currently we play with three forwards despite each having different roles.

Koné and Valencia are gone. Niasse will be given away or back in the reserves. Barkley and Lukaku are very likely being sold.

That will potentially leave us with:

Mirallas / Lookman
Sandro (?) / Calvert-Lewin
Bolasie (inj) / Niang

That's okay on numbers but missing a central striker because Calvert-Lewin is just a kid.

If we kept Lukaku or signed someone else that forward department wouldn't look bad.

Or even replace Barkley with Sigurdsson and use Sandro or Niang centrally.

I bet its at least 8 inches on flop.

That forward line has a relegation place written all over it!
we need more forwards than that if we lose RB and Lukaku !

Dave is that you?

Jesus you're just as depressing as davek

I've been right with almost every everton transfer. This one will be another bad buy

To be fair I said if we kept Lukaku or signed a new central striker the forward department would look okay. Of course it's not suitable as is.

Haha. Poor Jordan Pickford will crap himself when he goes into the Finch Farm showers on his first day and sees Lukaku, Lennon and Niang soaping their lengths.

You'd think people would learn after the whole 'Idrissa Gueye is crap' debacle.

This guy may well be crap. But why not wait and see?

 

[Deulofeumygod]

I want Iheanacho though

Coutinho didnt make it at Inter either. Some of the best players moved clubs and were poor, Shevchenko, Veron, Torres, Kaka to name a few.

Sometimes a player just fits a club, hopefully thats the case with him and us. He did say that at Milan he had 6 managers in 4 years, all with different methods and styles which made it hard to get any consistency, especially as a young player so maybe a settled team will do him the world of good.

Plus im sure Walsh/Koeman will have researched his personality and spoke to people who have played/worked with him and if they are happy enough to bring him in, then we should give him a chance.

Would you? Would you really?

Congrats, maybe you should call Steve Walsh and Koeman up and ask them for a job as a scout.

Icing on cake that.

With these three signings, our average age must be coming down too.
