Because it's a Yannick Bolasie thread and you mentioned Mesut Ozil.

Is that not allowed? Is it a forum rule that other football players names cannot be mentioned in a specific players thread?

Why is everything a comparison just because someone's name is mentioned. No I'm not comparing them if that answers your question.

Bolasie could well get 10-20 assists this season and few goals, we won't know till the season ends. I'm saying he could well have had 7 by now if other players had taken easy chances I'm talking the likes of Barkley and lukaku who have had balls put on a plate for them. If he does manage to get those statistics by the seasons end surely that justifies the money spent on him?

He can cross well when he's in the mood, I have to say.

You could have mentioned any player in the world in here and it could be seen as a comparison to the player the thread is about.

You then stated Ozil's goals and assist stats with the view of comparing them to Bolasie at the end of the season.

He can be an exceptional crosser of the ball for sure.

There's just times when it looks like he cant cross for ... well toffee to be honest!

If you get a consistent Bolasie you have some player. But I'd imagine Palace were aware of this too.

someone on here called him a blag andros townsend on the page before, thats a direct comparison saying he is a certain player

i only mentioned ozil because he is one of the top assisters in the league and bolasie could have had quite a few already if other players had taken their chances.

i dont think anyone would be complaining about his price right now if he already had 7 assists to his name after 8 games. unfortunately that isn't his fault that he only has 2 or 3 at the moment. I'm sure he will also get a goal or two before the season ends.

I'd put my money on Koeman being able to get the best out of him over 'Pards,' that's for sure.

It's still very early in his Everton career. I expect him to only improve.

He's nearly 28 now mate so in his prime, and I just think in his career up to now he's been one of those typical wingers who on their day can be boss, but can't do it consistently.

Koeman has a reputation for improving players beyond their previously understood peak.

But regardless of whether or not he gets any better with a ball at his feet, like the rest of the team he will get better at playing Koeman's way and understanding what's needed of him in the system.

By the end of the season, I think he'll seem improved.

Needs to be more consistent in his end product, less trickery , more crossery

jackyboy · October 18, 2016

Like him a lot. Like how strong he is as well. Personally would play him and Lennon on Saturday. Press their full backs who I feel are the weakest part of their team.

The only redeeming feature about him is that he gets on very well with Lukaku, and that can only be a good thing.

ijjysmith · October 18, 2016

I heard he was as good and has the potential to be better than Mesut Ozil by the end of the season.

Just passing on what I heard.

Ive read lots of good things about RK but not much about this, can you provide any examples...

Look at Southampton. He was left with the dregs of the squad and got them firing better than they had at full-strength the previous season. More points, higher finish, as many goals scored and fewer conceded.

No one expected that from the players he had to work with there.
