our worst ever signing for me, could argue Klaasen cos of the money lost but were likely to lose more on Bolasie.

But bolasie has always been terrible and picked a few games a season to turn up, his goal return for palace was 9 goals in 3 seasons

This, all century long, ffs.

I remember the general reaction to us being about to sign him was "Oh no, surely not, he's awful apart from when he played against us last few seasons... HOW MUCH?" mixed with a few naive "But he's got something we're badly missing in midfield and he'll provide ALL the assists".

The realisation kicked in less than about 5 games into his career when he was doing all of that Irish dancing footwork and constantly running the ball out of play, but when he was able to swing a few balls into the box - literally the only things he did in his entire time at Everton; about 5 dangerous crosses into the box - then those naive fans were once again clinging to their hope that he'll prove to be dangerous for us.

Well, actually he turned out dangerous to us, not for us, and I am confident in saying a large majority of fans will have been seething to see him constantly played for us when fit despite his appalling form or just general all-round play if you want to be brutally honest. That and knowing his extreme limitations and realising he was pocketing about 80 grand a week for being a liability to the football club.

The sooner he is gone, the better. And as you say mate, worst signing in his entire history - and most of us saw it coming a mile off.
 

I'm all for getting rid but if Sandro leaves and Bolasie leaves who do we use is touch wood Richarlison or Walcott are injured?

He did alright before the injury so that’s beyond harsh.

Now he’s lost a yard he doesn’t provide the same threat
 
What happened to him actually supposedly having a deal agreed to go to Turkey lol-going off press reports and even the tv reports that said a deal was very close about a week or 2 ago

He went to Turkey, went around the coastline several times, doubled back and ended up where he'd started, hence why he's still at finch farm.
