Yet he's still our 3rd best striker.

Fixed it for you mate.

And thats assuming Richarlison can't play there.

What parts of his game are better than Tosun's would you say?

His ability to score goals would be a start.

Cannot ever be allowed to start a game.

He's handy to have coming on from the bench, but doesn't seem to produce the goods when he starts games. Guess he's our David Fairclough... now there's a name for the teenagers on here

Certainly can nick a goal coming off the bench against tired legs but the lad has proven over time he is useless when asked to start a game and lead a line. He had two half chances yesterday. The first one nearly cleared the park end and the header went into the bowels of the lower gwladys. Tosun is asked to do a job, which is lead the line by holding the ball up, winning headers and being a general presence with the aim of bringing Gylfi, Richarlison and Walcott into the game. He is doing well at that, now if he can add 15 goals to his game this season I think he'll have done what is asked of him.

For all I like Niasse, he can't even control a ball so no manager will trust him to lead a line for a run of games. Its a skill of football.

Once Silva has got his squad the way he wants it maybe in a year or two, Niasse will be an amusing memory. Rather like Straq.

Bit risky only having 2 strikers with our injury record.

There was a bit there about "if we bring another striker in". I'm not saying get rid of him right now.

Boss pass. Shame it landed at Tosun.

Lets concentrate on the positives rather then the negatives, the prince worked hard when he came on and made a few things happen!

Yeah throw ins to the other team.

DCL, niasse and tosun need to be sold.
None of those 3 would even make the bench for a top 6 team.
I can't believe 2 summers in a row lukakus replacement still hasn't been sorted out.
There will be times in the season when we need a goal, Silva looks at his bench and sees niasse and dcl.......

Did more in his short time on the pitch than Tosun did all game.

I've heard that you can judge if someone knows anything about football by asking their opinion on Sergio Busquets. If they rate him then they know. And I would agree.

Same applies for Niasse. Anyone who rates him is absolutely clueless.
