Wonder how much good old Oxlade would have set us back.

We've offered 35 million, awaiting reply.

Would have rather had Ox. I would be much happier with a guy who could also play ST, or CF. Maybe a shaqiri or a perisic

He is one of the most skilful players in the league, we need players in their peak. He a left winger which is what we need

He just lacks consistent which is where Koeman will come in

Thank you for being sensible

30 million??? Pounds??? Who is this lad's agent?

I hope this is not our "marque" signing for the summer. Although £30million is hardly big money this window, considering the silly money flying in and out of Manchester these days. Could have bought a small country for the price of those two teams!

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...

Thank you. Agree with your comments too. I admit I'm a huge Mirallas fan, based on the above we need to keep him and play him.

He is better than Mirallas, though.

Left sided player fast and direct ?
Yeah we have them in abundance already anyone who thinks he is worse than Ross ,kone or whatever other square peg Roberto tried there are just .....

WHERE HAS THIS £30M COME FROM?!???

Umm - the billionaire owner?

The Mighty Quint · August 9, 2016

"Unbelievable how quickly fans forget how good a player is once they're linked with a move away. Bolasie has the capability to be the best winger in the league. If he showed his good performances on a more consistent basis, he certainly wouldn't still be with us, and he'd be the subject of higher bids from better clubs than Everton.

Show some respect FFS, the guy is a joy to watch when on song, he's the reason I pay to go and watch football. He genuinely makes my jaw drop. I'll be gutted if he leaves".
