In Niasse defense - He was never given a fair shot last season. Wouldn't mind giving him a shot.

Won't lose any sleep on niasse joining. Let's look into loic remy on loan from chelski.

Another Damien Diagonal - Total Football

But if we bring in another as well as benteke, they probably would be 3rd choice.

What we did with Bamford?! What, didn't play him because he wasn't good enough you mean?

Bamford is now a permanent transfer for Wigan. Probably about his level.

Bamford is quality, his loans to us and to Norwich showed exactly what sort of quality.

It's 106 miles to Chicago, we got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark... and we're wearing sunglasses.

Niasse may be worth a punt. From what I read, Martinez promised him he would play upfront with Lukaku, then reneged on that promise. He never got a run of games to show his ability. With Chamakh and Puncheon we got a good response from players wanting to show they had been wronged. He might have the character to do that as well. I guess the problem is that if he is the only one we add as a striker, and he doesn't make the grade, then we really will be desperate in the January window, when fewer players are looking to move.
