Yeah I think Simon Jordan said that when the bid came in they laughed said something along the lines of “have they missed a decimal point there?” then asked for more as a joke which we duly paid.

Although I suspect that might just be Jordan hyperbolising as he often does. As for Zaha I was a big fan of his and last season I wanted him at any price however now I would look elsewhere.

Jordan had gone by then so it would of been Steve Parish... But to be fair he's quite similar to Jordan even down to his haircut... Must be a South London thing!!

Mate I'll be honest we need to sell Zaha... He doesn't want to be with us and his performances this season have showed that... No way will we get the £80m that Parish wants though... He would fit in with you lot. When he's on his game mate he is literally unbelievable!

Shame about Tosun injury.. I know he never quite clicked for you lot and I was very sceptical when we got him on loan but the 3 appearances he made for us he was actually quite impressive!!

Hi Fellas.

Palace fan here and I apologise for posting.. I actually came on here to see if there was a thread on Zaha as he is being linked with you again but stumbled on this Bolasie thread and have read every page.

As a Palace season ticket holder of 18 years I just thought I'd put my opinion across on Yala for what its worth as I see he does get alot of stick on here!!

Ok so when we signed him for peanuts he was all over the place. Bit like a newborn foal but you could see some flashes of quality..

I'll be honest he just clicked at Palace. It just worked for him. Him and Zaha just used to terrorise defences and constantly swapped. He had pace but always looked like he couldn't run properly if that makes sense.

When Warnock was our manager he summed Bolasie up perfectly. He said defenders can't cope with him because they don't know what he's gonna do and thats because he doesn't actually know what he's gonna do!! Perfect description!!

He did become a vital player and one season (in the championship) he was actually better than Zaha for most of the season.

It might be weird because its a wingers bread and butter but he couldn't cross for [Poor language removed] or shoot for [Poor language removed].. It actually became a long standing joke with Palace fans about his shooting because it was that awful!

But... On his day he could take on and beat any defender and i literally mean any defender.. He was unbelievable at times and he always seemed to have a good game against you lot as well!

But I won't lie when you came in with 28m every Palace fan was like 'thanks Yannick but off you go'... Bearing in mind we paid 300k for him we couldn't believe the offer.

Anyway I hope that gives you a Palace perspective on things and hope youre all coping ok during lockdown.. Not just saying it as I'm on here but always liked Everton.

And by the way James Mcarthy has been sensational.. That lads work rate is ridiculous!! Hes stayed fit so far and I hope it continues as he's become a very important player for us.

Take care

I liked Bolasie, had some good games for us and added intensity but then playing on after suffering a horrendous injury screwed his career. Hope he finds somewhere to play regularly again.

I like Cenk but his style didn't fit .Shame about the injury as he is far better than either team have seen .He needs two things .a manager who plays him in the right place and games to build up a head of steam!

It was definitely Jordan who was quoted so I assume he was just commenting on what he’d heard. Yeah I was at the Palace game at Goodison this season and you could totally see Zaha had downed tools. I think given his current age, what you guys would want and the sort of player he is the resurrected links between us and him are probably rubbish.

Tosun looked to be a finisher. If you give him balls on a plate and don’t expect him to play much or do anything other than poach chances then he’d probably be quite effective. Unfortunately we don’t play like that!

He'll go to Arsenal for £40-50mill I think.
