I left the Newcastle game at 2-0 cos there was grown men chanting “Oumar Oumar” when he came on. The fella is stealing a living out of the club yet some fans are helping the situation. He probably thinks he’s a fans favourite.

Giving him game time recently probably hasn’t helped.

Will Everton be able to find a destination for Oumar Niasse to depart to before the end of the window?Yes, surely someone will take himNo, we'll be stuck with him for now |
Since his £13.5-million arrival at Goodison Park in 2016 (as per BBC), Niasse has featured in 42 games for the Toffees, during which he has scored nine and assisted four (as per Transfermarkt).
During this season, the 29-year-old has featured in just three Premier League games for Carlo Ancelotti’s side, in which he has scored and assisted zero and has an average rating of 5.97/10 (per WhoScored), leaving many calling for drastic action.
Terminate his contract get rid!!!

What do we think?
Judging from the responses from Everton fans, it is extremely clear to see how they feel towards the Senegalese forward and wanting him out of Goodison Park.
The only positive for fans may be that the 29-year-old’s contract is up in the summer (per Transfermarkt) and it seems as though it is incredibly unlikely he will stay beyond then.
