2020/21 Yannick Bolasie

[N.S.N.O.]

£28m was it?

Plus near 20m in wages....has any other club wasted money as badly as us?

lol Vintage Yannick. To be fair not that many players gave Hibbert the run around like he did

Done it against us and the rs didn't he and then was practically turd for the rest of his career.

I personally enjoyed it when he skilled himself on the bullens road side against West Ham and knocked it out of play. Takes some doing to out skill yourself with no one around you.

Waste of space.

Well I evaluate someone's transfer fee over the whole contract normally so he wasn't £25m over the Everton career for obvious reasons.

But 4 assists in like 10 games before the injury was a promising start for sure. From memory he should have had quite a few more if Lukaku didn't shin everything out of the stands.

Every winger in the world would look amazing if strikers scored every single chance they had.

It’s ironic that at the end of last season if you’d said ‘would you give Bolasie and Walcott a go as wide options over the current squad players’ I’d have probably said yes quite a few times. I’d probably have given Besic a run in midfield as well we were that bad in there.

I've argued against this so many times but I just can't help myself. Strikers will always miss chances, that run of games for Bolasie is honestly the only time I can ever recall anyone counting in loads of assists that he might have got if people had actually scored, I don't know why it was a thing. Conversely not many people mentioned that one of his assists was touching the ball to Lukaku in his own half and then Lukaku running the rest of the way to slot.

That's still 4 in like 10 though regardless which I assume we agree is good?

You? Being contrarian to one of my posts? How out of the blue.

Mad the stuff that happens on these forums isn't it. There'll be people mentioning Everton next.

Yeah it’s decent, but his career suggests he was not going to keep that ratio up, because he was never a decent player.

Thought Yannick Bolasie should have been given at least a bit of game time, especially when you consider some of the performances we were putting in at times during the season.

Maybe not but we'll never know was my initial point.

He did nothing for a bottom half Championship side.

 

[Connor]

Can we PLEASE, lock this

He did nothing for a bottom half Championship side.

But he wasn't always with a bottom half championship side. When he was here he could have been used, or at least on the subs bench as an 'option' instead of one of the two keepers which offered no outfield option.
