He had a career threatening injury a month after he signed for us!
I reckon he would have been a useful player for us otherwise. Was a decent Premier league player. Seemed to lose all confidence when he came back.
Valencia and Niasse have played roughly the same amount of minutes for us. It aint a lot put it that way.
Niasse has been poor in the youth/reserves, don't let a couple of goals against kids fool you. I'm not just judging him on his appearances for the first team, though they were bad enough.
Kone was never that good a player. He had one season at Wigan were he scored nine goals, hardly earth shattering stuff. Maybe at his best he'd of made a good player for a relegation battling side but he's never been good enough for anything higher then that. The injury was obviously very unfortunate for the lad but I'm not having it that it's the only reason he's been this poor. I wish the lad no I'll will and even now I hope he comes good and proves me wrong as after Lukaku he's the best we've got upfront.
