Yannick Bolasie

[Stan Lee Park]

And therein lies the rub......Gueye cost a fraction of the price of Bolasie.

If we had paid Palace a reasonable amount of money there wouldn't be half the controversy there is about the latter.




As I keep saying.....the issue with Bolassie is as much to do with the money we spent on him as with his general crapness.

Well, that and the fact that Gueye can play football.

But why let it bother you? Its not your money. Its barely real money one way or another.

Fans worry way too much about what a player costs.

You are just being silly now, aincha

In your world no one should comment about the money spent on say, Niasse, because it ain't coming out of their pockets.

It is a funny way for a football fan to look at life in his club but sure it takes all sorts

Im not saying they shouldnt comment! I just dont see why people get so bent out of shape about it.

Its like watching a film and getting angry about how much Tom Hanks gets paid for his role if he doesnt do a good job.

I only really care about what happens on the pitch, I don't care how or why the players get onto said pitch.

And while he's been far from consistent, the fact still remains that Bolasie is our most productive player in terms of creativity.

Bar the Chelsea match, he has created at least one (if not more) clear-cut chances per-game and/or assisted a goal/scored.

Stats don't mean everything, but they do back up the fact that Bolasie has been no where near as poor as some make out.

I hope you don't moan when we go into administration then, that's what happens when you are frivolous with money.

Mate...

Hypothetical, answering someone who thinks we shouldn't care as it's not our money.

Seriously?

For about 15 years people have moaned about not spending any money!

Then we spend some and people moan!

We wont be frivolous with money as we are a better ran club than some people realize.

 

[BlueToff]

Hypothetical, answering someone who thinks we shouldn't care as it's not our money.

But we aren't going bust.

And while, like you, I don't agree we shouldn't care, I'm also not overly concerned.

Bolasie's contributed to five goals in his 11 games for us so far, and is involved in pretty much any bright move we have going forward.

It shouldn't be the case, we shouldn't be relying on him, but so far he's delivering the goods in terms of creativity.

Worth the money? Probably not.

Am I bothered we overpaid by maybe £5mil? Not at all.

No I really couldnt give a toss. I will trust the professionals in charge of our club who's job it is to worry about the money and our finances.

Its got bugger all to do with me.

It was an over the top point, but it's still what can happen if you don't care, Portsmouth and Leeds etc all fell down that way. I'd rather we didn't.

Fair enough, discussion over. Blinkered.

So we are writing a player off after ten games?

Everton aren't we?
