Yannick Bolasie

[LouReedwalkonthewildside]

For all those who are going to cry themselves to sleep tonight, rest at ease my friends, because if he's as woeful as being described, we will never have to turn this into a £30m transfer, as the add ons will never be activated.

Your normally level headed (no laughing at the back) Ian, what do you think.

Hahaha level headed?


I'm a tit

Does anyone know of a doctor who does head re-attachments please.

As I've put in my last post mate, his end product last term (even in a 'crap' campaign) was better than any of our wingers bar Deulofeu...

We need more info for a true reflection of your comparison- games played/ minutes on pitch.

He's not better than Mirallas.

Oh yes he is.

£30m for Yannick Bolasie?

That's it. I think I'm done with football.

 

[DanB90]

Niasse going the other way on loan.

Very sorry Palace fans.

Worth every penny of the £30mil then.

 

[Connor]

No way.

Apparently so

 

[Walter Ego]

Lol nobody likes him.

Maybe a little bit.

An obscene amount of money, I agree, but if he signs then whatever, it's done.

Some perspective.

Supposedly he was crap last season, and yes, after getting 4 goals and 11 assists in 14/15, he failed to kick on.

However, here are his stats from last term, compared with our current wingers:

- Bolasie: Goals 6, Assists 6

- Mirallas: Goals 6, Assists 3

- Del: Goals 4, Assists 13

- Lennon: Goals 6, Assists 2

So, while I am in no way saying that justifies what is an extremely ridiculous fee, stats wise, even in an apparently 'awful' season, and despite being inconsistent, he still had more impact than any of our wingers bar Del in terms of goals/assists.

Bare in mind, he also spent plenty of games last year playing up top as a central forward, and offers something different to what our wingers - who as good as they are are very similar types of players - do in terms of sheer power.

Massive fee. Too much for my liking but at the end of the day, I'm not massively fussed. If the club want him and are willing to pay that much, so be it. Too many wannabe chairmen on here.

@paulbefc -- the post I mentioned mate

....the figure you haven't captured is games played. I assume the Everton players played significantly less games.

Bolasie played a full season.

The rest of our wingers didn't. And still delivered on par or better than him.

Theres no justification for him to be our record transfer.

 

[LouReedwalkonthewildside]

Oh yes he is.

Mirallas must be worth about £40m.

 

[BlueStevie35]

Not best pleased with the amount talked about but I have faith that Koeman can bring out the best in him over the next few years.

since he missed two months out through injury I reckon his game time would be around the same...

I can have a look if you'd like?
