One-time transfer target M'Baye Niang is being linked with a move to Everton again after it emerged that AC Milan are considering selling the forward.

Niang was close to joining the Blues a few years ago on a loan-to-permanent deal but it fell through and he eventually ended up in Milan.

Now, Sky Italia's Gianluca DiMarzio claims that the Frenchman has received offers from the Premier League and that Everton is one of the interested clubs.

Think we dodged a bullet first time around, no thanks.

Apparently a few years ago, there were rumours Niang was possibly a prÃ©su, a player claiming to be younger than his actual date of birth.

He's not been a prolific goalscorer at any of his teams so, if we can't persuade Lukaku to stay, I don't think this guy is the answer.

Just lazy journalism. Move along. Having said that, I'll be honest and say I've never bloody heard of him. Could have the style of Lionel Messi or Ian Ormandroyd for all I know...

Mike, you missed one of the random factors, the price! (rolls dice...)

I'm surprised there isn't a thread dedicated to Rom's latest "come and get me" mutterings to the media. Or is it just a case of we can't be arsed anymore with what his ventriloquist tells him to say?

As RK stated in his interview, he'll look at what he's got before adding or letting anyone go. Which means all rumours are bollocks

Were we not looking at this kid when we didn't have a transfer budget?

Has he improved?

Definitely no.

Anyone who turned us down before = No
Anyone who played in Russia = No
Anyone with an overeager agent = No
Anyone overrated = No

80% of rumours are player/agent inspired, 19% are mindless journo speculation. 1% have some truth in them.

this is the guy who is lighting up the Euros by playing up front for France.

What not even in the squad?

Must be worth at least £15m

Niang can get tae fuck!
He's like the Argos version of Balotelli.

Nice on Paul(#14)...Number 262...Niang. And speaking of the Euros, Confucius say never sign a player solely on the back of a good tournament. Djouf anybody?
