Yannick Bolasie

Like Gana this signing has a very precise feeling. We have a system we intend to use and are filling each specific role with specific qualities.

agreed mate.

He also said he scores low in that. Matter of opinion because I think he scores fairly high. I think it might be wise for the critics to give the player a chance rather than slate him like Gueye got slated. He hasn't even kicked a ball in anger yet alone signed for us. I know of one person who will be delighted in this signing and that is Seamus Coleman.

It isn't a matter of opinion, it is a fact.

The key passes stat measures how many passes a player makes that lead to a presentable chance (whether converted or not).

Bolasie averages 1.1 a game.

Mirallas 1.3 a game
Lennon 1.5 a game

At Palace Jason Puncheon (supplying the same players) 1.4 a game, Andros Townsend 1.2 a game.

I agree Koeman and Walsh are being very specific
This guy will rip other teams apart as our new pressing style evolves
And feed Rom

I think it's a brilliant signing and I'm very happy.

Finally some genuine pace in the team.

No interest in Benteke, think he's rubbish.

You have seen Del run I take it ?

30 million reported on the BBC. Yes, we are loaded, but that is just plain silly.

This is not true at all. You keep slating blues on here about the same thing but surely its just as poor form to make such comments.

Slating blues when was that? You consistently wind up supporters on here just to get a reaction - it's sad really but ask anyone who is the most negative in this forum and you win hands down.

 

[Neiler]

Believe.

Its not £30m.

 

[blue76]

Its not £30m.

Oh, yes it is.

 

[ijjysmith]

Oh, yes it is.

HE'S BEHIND YOU

I find the complaints on here about the high price quite bizarre: for donkey's years the club hasn't had a pot to pee in. As soon as we get some investment, loads on here start griping about the cost of players we are about to sign! You couldn't make it up - is the fee coming out of the pockets of posters on here, perhaps?

 

[MartSlinger]

Oh, yes it is.

Its not.

But carry on.

 

[DownSouthBlue]

For 6 million more we could have had Mane.

£30 million for Bolasie is extreme,36 million for Mane who's 4 years younger who's far better would have been money well spent.

Barkley, Del, Mirallas, Lukaku, Bolasie - 5 into 3 doesnt work. Never mind Lennon, Dowell, and any new transfer back up striker. What's the plan, do you think?

 

[kenada_blue]

There's going to be some never before seen levels of vaulting going on here after he ends up being utterly quality for us; I'm talking some proper 'how many UFC fighters can Serena Williams choke out simultaneously' type levels, properly unbelievable amounts of vaulting. Trust in Walsh, Mahrez had terrible stats at Le Havre didnt he

Mahrez is 24. Not hitting his peak.

Bolasie is 27. At his (arguably)
