Yannick Bolasie

[ToffeeTim]

Any news from any/all of the people who knows somebody at Goodison or FF how the medical is going

Failed his medical I'm hearing. His long throws weren't quite up to scratch. Dunc was waiting on the pen spot to head home but not long enough

 

[Zatara]

no we haven't

Del, Kev, Lennon - they're all sound but are very similar. Bolasie offers us something different.

Not 25mil worth, but if that's what we have to pay then so be it.

Can you think of anyone similar skillset who has been top class?

 

[Aar_the_Toffees]

If we have an abundance of money why not throw it around. Good signing and will probably slot into the starting 11.

Lukaku could thrive with this lad

Bolasie's skill set? No mate - that's just he type of player he is really.

He has all the tools and skills but his inconsistency is what - like it does with so many other players, especially wingers - is what will stop him from ever being 'top class'.

However, I think he'll prove to be very good for us.

To me price doesn't come into it, he is a massive upgrade on Kone who came on yesterday. This guy will offer so much more.

Everyone please stop being accountants, mosheri has already said he will fund transfers so lets believe him, if he doesn't then moan

I think people are concerned about his ability as well as the price.

Clearly the clincher in signing the new contract.

 

[Petit]

Probably not and I take the point re fees (and the ubiquitous agent's cut) but some of the transfer figures being bandied about are ludicrous and IMO, one day, football is going to implode

The premier league. Everyone and his aunt wants to watch it...and pay for it. It's not going to change anytime soon.

Thing is usually you can compare players to top stars in the past...this guy i cant think of anyone...certainly pardew doesnt seem fussed as he commented that the boy doesnt score and the team doesnt score when he plays

 

[MichiganToffee-NSNO]

I think this will be wrapped up and announced tomorrow, then we will make a move probably for Kone or Abdennour. I have a good feeling about him because I think he can help with the pace and wearing down the opposition. Sure the price may be high but everyone has been paying a lot this transfer window

 

[ToffeeTim]

Hope it's done tomorrow so the lad can get prepared for Saturday. Hopefully he surprises me.

I will judge the opinion of the boss and Walsh if thats ok. Not compare him to George Best.

all the noises from Pardew that I've ever heard is that he loves Bolasie and that this is more a decision from the board and the player fancies the move.

I don't mind him Zat and I think he could be a very exciting signing for us. Let's give the fella a chance anyway is what I say

When did pardew say that?

 

[Hibbertinho]

I believe in you Yannick. The last guy who we signed for us and who had his own skill-move on FIFA named after him has acquired legendary status.
