This is utter madness. We are about to spend 50M on 3 players and none of them excites me. I thoughy kopites bought [Poor language removed] players for twice what they were worth. Yannick effin Bolasie. FFS!
Someone pls make this madness stop. We do not need Bolasie in the first place. Why not make a 30M offer for Mata?
I can't believe we're offering him 150k a week. Insane!
It's easy to me ( we know mata don't want in ) so we sign bolasie plan a to plan b I mean z
Is he ?
Prem to date:
Navas - 99 apps 4 goals 23 assists
Bolasie - 89 apps 12 goals 13 assists
One was playing for a top team, the other for Palace.
When you look at those figures, he's created a goal in every 4 games. He could turn out to be a much more productive player as part of a better team.
The same quality just on less money.And Bolasie is what then?
You said he was better.
If we're spending like in no window before, that's not a given.It's not the fee per se, it's that the fee suggests he'll be our main attacking signing, that's what worries me
Okay, here are his stats and minutes etc.
@Eggs @longers @anjelikaferrett and any more I've missed.
This is from 15/16, in all comps. In 14/15, just for clarity, he got 4 goals and 11 assists, playing 35 games in all and accumulation 2,849 minutes.
- Bolasie: Goals 6, Assists 6 (GAMES: 31) (Minutes:2,364)
- Mirallas: Goals 6, Assists 3 (GAMES: 30) (Minutes: 1,342)
- Del: Goals 4, Assists 13 (GAMES: 33) (Minutes: 1,835)
- Lennon: Goals 6, Assists 2 (GAMES 31) (Minutes: 2,056)
So, he had more minutes on the pitch than our wingers, overall having a second-best impact.
However, obviously had Kev or Del had more minutes, there impact may have been higher.
In Bolasie's favour, in terms of assists at least, he was supplying the likes of Connor Wickham, Adebayor and Gayle (any tosh strikers that I've missed, and played as many games as a forward himself last term as he did on the wing). Had he been linking up with Lukaku, Barkley etc, his figures would probably be higher.
Overall, definitely not worth a record fee, but to heck with it - if he signs I think he'll have a positive effect. Depends on how the system Koeman wants to play works...
That's why I said they were only his league figure pal
