This isn't the same Niang that stutters with the ball, relies on physical attributes, and can't shoot for shit (well still a bit wonky there), but my god, the transformation he has underwent compared to his earlier days is stunning, he isn't a donkey with the ball, in fact he welcomes it, his technical skill has exponentially skyrocketed, his passing ability is just amazing now, just look at some of his assists over the past year and a half (including today), he's still a bit shit in front of the goal, but his his ability to play with his back to the goal is great. You wouldn't think a player like him would develop like this, one of the most vital player at Milan, if not THE most important

Benteke 2.0

Legit sounds like a Japanese turn based RPG.

Same with you

This so called evolution wouldn't have happened under Pardew/Carver/McClaren though

It also wouldn't have happened at Milan. Full credit to Genoa here.

Indispensable for Milan right now.

Someone didn't FM2012

Another scrub added to the poor mans Origi list.

Looked like a future GOAT in our preseason game

6 starts
3 goals
2 assists

How's Martial these days?

I rest my case.

unreal record for your main forward

may actually earn a call-up to the france team at this rate

I'm not usually one to boast but... I backed him from the start when everyone else said he was shite.

His great shot from the weekend

Yep, i was one to denounce him initially, Dante, Arq and Jesp as well iirc, I'm really happy for how it turned out for him though, he was always complaining about how Balotelli keeps getting starts regardless of performance and he is left to rot. Who would've thought that of SES, Balo, Niang, he'd be the one to take charge for us and carry the attack today

Really reminds me of a young Benteke. Has a good career in making.
