How do you work that out? Our form improved massively once Bolasie got injured.
He is a hindrance to our play, not a help.
No it didn't. We lost to Watford and the RS either side of that Arsenal game fgs. Then beat Leicester and drew at Hull ffs.
Bolasie added pace and power and is a player that Koeman likes.
At the start of the season everything went through him because others (Ross, Kev) weren't stepping up and let's be honest Koeman hadn't really figured out how he wanted to play.
Throw Bolasie into that side that went on the good run in the second half of the season, when Schneiderlin came in and we were playing how Koeman wanted with Davies and Barkley both in form, and he'd have been really useful.
He's in no way a 'hindrance'. The guy creates chances.
Get the ball, [Poor language removed] about with it, lose it. I'd say that's a hindrance.
I sincerely, sincerely, sincerely hope he proves me wrong mate, I hope he comes back and storms it for us - I just can't see it. He's been the same for the whole of his career and especially after this injury I don't think he will offer anything other than 'useful'.

I have always held the thought that if bolasie was one of our most creative players whilst we were going through terrible form in the league, then when the whole team improved after the arsenal game onwards, how would he have fared? Considering he had what 5 assists and a goal in a team that looked done for in november, a flying everton with a winger who was creating chances might have really kicked us on and certainly in the last couple of months Bolasie would have given a lot more to the team than Lewen did out of position on the wing.
the thing is, bolasie isn't world class, and his price tag raised expectations of him being better than what he was. But as a useful team player, i personally think he played that part well, and the quick speed and the fact he stayed out wide was different to anything else we had at the time (and now even) so it created balance within the 11.
He may not be the same player when he returns, but you cannot rubbish the fact he was assisting as well as anyone else, and his assist total if the sitters missed were included would have had him not far off the best in the league at the time.
How many assists did lennon, mirallas, lookman, deloufeu, lewen get between them this season?

Bidding higher than for Tielemans??
Saw the interest in him last night, as always my first port of call was his wiki page, 5ft 5, closed the page and didnt even bother scouting him.
Its a no from me.
Imagine Gana and this dwarf in the middle of the park?
Utter LOLs.

Would argue he's the better player just not what we need right now. Unless he sees him as a ball player centre half

We always lose to Liverpool, especially at Anfield.
Everything went through Bolasie because he was constantly played. He used to run around like a headless chicken.
What about his form before his injury? People were calling for him to be dropped!
Tbh, I hope we turf him out back to Palace before he gets to wear an Everton shirt again.
Biggest waste of money since Niassé.
*shudders*
People were calling for him to dropped? Yeah only the people who made their minds up prior to him even putting the shirt on.
He was our most dangerous attacking weapon, we missed his impact in games all season, his direct running and willingness to lash the ball in the box would have been a powerful weapon in our Arsenal.
But hey ho, football isnt for everyone.

Really wish people would stop having the exact same argument about bolasie every single week.
Still catching up on pages so not sure if this was revolved but crossing accuracy is a horrendous stat to analyse. You don't just factor in quality of the cross but have to look at the attackers movements, the defenders ability and what the keeper does. Some of the best crosses in the world - say a Candreva - won't have a particularly high success %.
I'd sign him as a defender then move him forwards when we sign someone even better. Not that we'll bid though.
Max Kruse is a tit.
