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

Pardew is miffed that he's leaving mate
 
Loads of African players have had it mate, just remember some city fans reckoned it took something off him afterwards
I like him as a player but he was never going to displace Aguero in the starting line up, weird signing for them really. I'm not sure you can attribute his form to illness, injury or not having a fair run because I didn't see many of city's games last season. I'm sure our top notch medicals could shed some light... lol
 

Have you actually come out yet and admitted your a Liverpool fan mate, or still pretending whilst every single person knows already?
I am alluding to buying a player for £30 million with 27 goals in 280 appearances.

We could buy better player than that for half that price in France like 22 year old Sofiane Boufal or in Portugal with 23 year old Rafael Silva,as 2 great examples.
 
I think the figure of chances created is quite good whereas Timak thinks its low hence its a matter of opinion if you rate it high or low.
That's also a stat though. You can track his rates compared to other players. He either compares favorably or doesn't. I'm sorry but there is no wiggle room in that. And I don't even know what his rates are, just saying it's not some weird opinion based grey area. Unless you somehow feel wingers are less responsible than most for creating chances and are trying to reinvent the game.
 
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.


Those comparison figures don't tell the whole story though. Presentable is very vague. All dependant on how easy the chance is or not which is not stated. A punt into the box may get a header on it that flies over the bar another might be laid on a plate but is missed. Puncheon may just cross the ball more whereas Bolasie may try for a set up. Difficult to judge

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.

22 year old this, 23 year old that. Your thinking like you're playing football manager. Like Ashley Williams, Bolasie is the right age to make an impact for us straight away.

Think you are missing my point eg. 75% success pass rate is a stat but the people who read that stat decide whether that is a good percentage or not hence opinion of reader.
