Yannick Bolasie

[Goat]

Oh right, let's get a time machine then eh?

Look, I don't want him to be terrible obviously, but I've seen plenty of him. When he blows hot, he destroys teams - but it's twice a season it happens. Every other time, he's anonymous. At least Lukaku scores, despite being pretty much the same - Bolasie, when he's off it, does quite literally nothing.

As always, perfectly happy to be wrong, but we've horribly overpaid here - and the fact is loads of people on here thought the same before he signed, but the predictable "he's an Everton player now, so time to put the blue-tinted specs on" has came into play.

Not for me.

Honestly Tubes, at this point its quite clear you hate the blicks, stop hiding it an embrace your inner KKK.

he came on for 20 minutes yeh and didn't do anything of note.

then again it's WBA, with a 1-0 lead, away from home.

Pulis' wet-dream.

He played whilst basically awaiting the nod to go have his medical - don't know many players whos would have put in a brillaint game under those circumstances, least he didn't 'do a Lescott'

I think this is a Yannick buy myself.

The word "lazy" doesn't apply to Bolasie. He runs all day. The problem is he is very limited in what he does on and off the ball other than run in my view.

His best asset is that he's a pressure player from the front, so he forces the opposition to stay switched on at all times. But if they do, he does nothing out of the ordinary to effect the game.

Holy wow.

 

[ggooggooggoo]

Well done all those ITKs that let us know today that Bolasie would sign later today.

We should have had more faith in you and I for one would like to apologise.

it was common knowledge mate please keep up

Massively overpriced signing I believe

 

[BlueToff]

If that was a one-off, I'd agree with you.

But he does nothing of note most games sadly.

We'll have to see won't we.

Koeman wouldn't have spent the money on him if he didn't: A) rate him and B) think he will be very important to how he wants to play.

He's pretty unique in his style and stature in that there's not many wingers about with his build.

Is he inconsistent? Certainly. He was superb the season before last though and Palace's season capsized when he got injured last term.

My bet is Koeman believes he can get the best out of him and seeing how we played on Saturday (even though I don't think we'll play like that every game) he's certainly a great option to have.

People keep telling me players that are better but they're in no way similar types of players, which I think is the most important factor here.

 

[bluestevon]

Interesting stat in the 33 games he has scored or provided an assist in over the last 4 seasons Palace haven't lost one of them

this, but it happens.

All summer people have been fretting for not spending. Now we've spent big, clearly on a player that the manager wanted and was willing to overpay for.

 

[ham2]

Hopefully some of the " new members ahem" will start climbing back into the gutter now we've started spending
