M'baye Niang

:sign15:

 

He looked thoroughly annoyed during the Southampton game as the ball was repeatedly pumped up the pitch at well over head height. He gave up defending after the first half and left Kaboul completely exposed. I think this was more in frustration at our lack of ability to give him the ball on the floor rather than laziness, as I had been quite impressed by his defensive contribution in earlier games. If we carry on like that, I doubt he'll want to stay and be part of a midfield we repeatedly by-pass.

 

If we've got an option to buy at the end of the season as long as we stump up the wonga, does he have any choice?

 

So we are going to buy a player who doesn't want to play for us?

Have we gone that mad?

 

Yup, can't see him signing unless the football dramatically improves, he'll have plenty of options at the end of the season I imagine, many better than Watford as well.

 

well there is that I suppose

 

Holebas.

 

Is this some sort of sick joke?!

 

I'd probably take issue with him saying he's going to win trophies with us first, given we play the reserves in both cups.

 

How dare he suggest we're not a big club; doesn't he know our massive history?!

 

Another Kabasele

 

60:40 chance of signing i reckon

Not good if true. Niang rumoured to be leaving with Brighton, West Ham and West Brom as possible destinations...

 

Cue Sarah and Andrea and call me stupid but I really had no idea that Brighton are a big club

 

talksport clickbait

 

I wouldn't pay any attention to random romours like this

 

Surely we do?

 

I don't doubt he'd go for a big club, but Brighton? Seriously? It is really hard for promoted clubs to attract big players when they start off odds on for relegation. That tells you all you need to know about that tweet.

 

Something lost in translation maybe?

 

i bloody hope so

 

Saw this last night, but my french has never been fantastic anyway. It looks even worse in English, but can't imagine he'd be that openly disrespectful on Social Media.

I know it's highly unlikely he'll be here next season, but quite the change of tack from the Niang of 2 months ago...

 

I took it as meaning he feels like he's been a Watford player for longer than just a couple of months, which doesn't seem bad to me. It's certainly open to interpretation though.

 

Is that Vydra in the background ?

 

I took it to mean he lost his watch ages ago.

 

The lad has lots of quality and bags of talent, but seems to need some good man management.

It could be, like Vydra, that he is being badly advised and rather than getting his head down and working hard, he believes what he is being told.

So far he has played left, right, inside, off the striker and as a lone striker. Thats not great for a youngster learning his trade in a new league.

 

I wonder what his handicap is

 

P'tangyangkipperfauxpas?

 

What it probably means is that Doucoure will end up being a top player and Niang won't.

 

It doesn't help that people swear at him on Doucoure's instagram page.

 

You seem to be very angry all the time.
