Think it showed who the Palace fans (they would know better than us) rated the better of the two, when it looked like Zaha was on his wait out they were kicking off, and they weren't really arsed when Bolaise was touted to be leaving.
You can add the likes of zaha to Keane, di Maria, schnerderlin and falcao all good players who didn't make it at United but have flourished since they left. Makes you wonder why?
 

Up turn in form is due to him being injured, no different to Aiden Mcgeady for me. What a signing from Steve walsh. 25 M down the drain
 
We've missed him.

He was really productive for us when he was playing. Made a lot of chances and got a good amount of assists. Statistically he was impressive, and WhoScored have him as our 4th best player of the season in terms of his average score per game. I know a lot of people think stats like that are nonsense, but they put Rom as number 1, Gueye as number 2 and Ross as number 3, with Coleman at number 5, so I think most blues would agree with that.

A lot of blues won't have any of that though, and only trust what they see. And I get that. I like to gauge players based on stats and what I see with my own two eyes, but I actually did like what I was seeing when he was playing. He's not a goalscorer, in fact he's usually awful in front of goal, but he stretches the game and fullbacks utterly hate him. We looked much more threatening on the counter especially with him in the team. Rom loved playing with him and I think when Rom loves playing with someone that usually says they're good at supplying him, and that's naturally the main thing you'd want from your creative players.

I think the club he came from/his non league background + his fee have meant that some blues just won't ever warm to him. If we'd signed him from Borussia Dortmund for £10m there'd be a lot more love for him.
