On what stats was he 'easily' good enough? His 10 goals and 17 assists in 4 years? I'd say that's remarkably less than average.

It's not myopic to suggest he doesn't score enough goals, because he actually doesn't score enough goals - nor does he assist enough goals.

What people don't realise as well is that every time he runs the ball down blind alleys or over hits a cross, that stops dead an attack. And Bolasie did this over and over and over again.

But he'll run fast and deliver a good cross now and then, so he's dead boss - that's the mindset of most fans. They don't think about a wider picture.

He is not good enough to play at this level, never was and, now definitively due to the injury, never will be. He hit his ceiling with Crystal Palace as a counter-attacking run without a brain winger who gave a limited side an outball. That's Bolasie.

Complete and utter poppycock.

BINGO.

Exactly what I see. He isn't good enough for Everton and I can't believe anybody would think he is. This isn't even about the fee, he could have cost £25 not £25 million and I still wouldn't be happy because he's taking a position on the field that could be took by somebody who can actually influence the game positively.

He is total poo poo. Look at him (well, not now) more often running the ball out of play than doing something useful with it. He can whip in a wicked cross (once every 10 attempts) but apart from that doesn't have an awful lot in his locker. Let's look at his attributes:

- Very quick
- Has good stamina
- Quick feet
- Can whip one good cross in from 10

Now let's look at what doesn't make him very good:

- Feet often too quick leading to ball bouncing out of play or to opposition
- Isn't very intelligent on the field
- Has a pathetic goalscoring record as an attacking midfielder
- 9 out of 10 of his crosses are awful

I'd have been much more open to the fact he's an Everton player if we'd have paid around 10 perhaps 12m for him. But 25m? Jesus Christ almighty, talk about overspending.
