2018/19 Yannick Bolasie

[Brownie]

O'Rourke is v.good on London stuff, especially Palace. He might even have broken the Bolasie to Everton story, IIRC. (Yep, he did - http://www.espn.com/soccer/soccer-t...-evertons-18m-bid-for-yannick-bolasie-sources)

....yep, posted this in the transfer thread.

Didn't see blad, soz, I should be posting in there really.

I know it’s really unlikely, but I’d love that Wan-Bissaka to be apart of this deal.

We don't need flavour of the months. He's not that good.

Because south Manchester and Birmingham are so far from each other for a footballer who can travel basically whatever time of day they want. Bolasie was finished by the cruciate ligament injury. Sad for him and sad for Everton as he was our big signing that window and had actually started quite well implementing Koeman’s Pressing game (before Koeman had his brain fart and bought loads of slow rubbish number 10s)

I think being able to live walking distance from each other is better than being opposite ends of the M6?

Coming back, yabba babba dooooooooo!

Newcastle keeping tabs on bolasie

He's 21 and has had a cracking season so far. He might not live up to his promise (many don't), but he looks the part. He's put in one of the best performances at Goodison I've seen from an away team player this season.

We are going to look back on his entire time here as one of the weirdest that the club has had. Which is saying a lot for Everton.

A real mess it’s been. Standard Ev.

Why does it matter where they are from?

Look at the balance of all successful sides over time, and look at it across Spain, Germany and Italy, too.

All successful sides have a higher % of players that have progressed with the club over 10 years.

The players play together for longer, they know each other better, they connect to fans, a team ethic, trust and also confidence builds.

These values cannot be assembled only in short term expensive acquisition.

Failure of a signing but don't have a problem with the player, was our call to buy him...etc but I don't think he is the answer to save this season

 

[Armaghtoffee]

If he does move to Palace then it will definitely be an undisclosed fee.

£10m would be a depressingly good return.

 

[Eggs]

He should come out to reveal his reasoning for terminatng the loan.

...hopefully that is about to become obvious.

It would be good to close the door on this one. Bad deal by us, not the player's fault, he is what he is. If he goes back to Palace good luck to him.

Somewhat, but that doesn't come down to where they are from, that is just a case of the players being there for a long time.

None of that applies to our club anyway as we turn on them the first chance we get.
