5 more goals and 6 more assists in 120 games is not "significantly" better.
Oh but it is better. Look at the maths.
over 120 games Fraser has almost 50% more goals and over 25% more assists. It essentially proves he’s more efficient at making things happen. That’s the historical evidence.
If we look at potential future performance it becomes no contest.
Fraser has just turned 26 and should be entering the peak years of his career.
Bolasie will turn 31 next month. As a winger who relies on strength and pace I don’t see him improving as he gets older. Who knows, maybe he’ll reinvent himself as a holding midfielder.
Add to that: nearly all of Bolasie’s goals and assists were scored at palace. A club he left in summer 2016. 4 years ago. At Everton he has just 2 goals and 4 assists to his name. And I believe all bar 1 goal were scored/assisted in the first half of the 16/17 season, before his injury.
he has scored/assisted on loan but that was in the championship or in European B standard leagues. Essentially he’s done at the top level and everyone knows it. That’s why no one will buy him and he’s going to be sitting on his Everton contract until it expires in summer 2021.
between him and Fraser the stats prove Fraser is better. Logic also shows it’s a near certainty that Fraser would be the better bet for the future.
I still wouldn’t want him at Everton though.
