Yannick Bolasie

We could also ban the "experts" on here who question the credentials of players we're linked with. They're clearly more qualified to judge a player than those employed at the club to bring in new players

Just ban everyone. Let's get back to teletext and club call.

We should just ban every body.

Or put everyone on ignore like me!

Reminds me of first game of the season back in 78. Being a wool, I stupidly walked onto the Gwladys street eating a bag of chips and some lad above just spat into them.

Ooh, you must have posted this as I was typing mine. Great minds and all that.

Think Bolasie could be a very useful signing. Sounds a lot but you have to look at it from Palace's point of view. We often argue that some of our players who are sought after have an 'added' value to us beyond their market value. It would be reasonable to assume that Palace consider him a vital cog in their machine so to speak. Also have to consider how much will be needed to replace said player with today's crazy market values.

Some of the conversations on here seem very odd thanks to the ignore list! lol

Watch the press conference yesterday

I did mate. I watched it live - I took down the quotes at the time.

He was clearly not happy that he was going but was putting a brave face on it.

Does this mean I'm one of the special ones?

As in you haven't put me on ignore (yet)

Both are midgets too. No physicality.

Exactly. Bar Lukaku our forward line has hardly any height or physicality.

Bolasie brings both - plus he has pace.

I don't claim to be an expert.

£25m for an attacker with a goals/assists of less than half that of Anichebe (at Everton/West Brom ) and Kone (at Everton) seems excessive to me.

 

[SpongeBob brown shoes]

No just want our fans to actually sing and have a laugh rather than think they are too good for it.

Would you rather us be more like the palace 'ultras' who just sing because their made up their wives let them out for the afternoon?

I like the approach of making the players work for a song, a bit like a 10 bob hooker grinding a pole

Confirmed at 16:30.

Probably tomorrow since it can be Transfer Tuesday for the third week running then

The way I see it - he adds something to us - another attacking option, unpredictable - and might work well with Baines. Way better than Kone and Cleverly.

Definitely.

However, as pointed out a few pages back, they do already measure this through a stat called "key passes"

And his key passes stats are poor too, 1.1 a game compared to teammate Jason Puncheon on 1.4 a game and the likes of Aaron Lennon on 1.5 a game.

Lies, damned lies and statistics. Don't be blinded by stats they can often give you a false impression of a players ability and worth.

There's a reason Bolasie is being sold for big money and the others you mention with better "stats" aren't.

We pretty much all agree that Bolasie is gravely overpriced but that's the current market unfortunately.

The manager/director of football/both? Clearly want the player, and are prepared to pay what it takes to bring him here.

Let's wait and see what he actually produces in a blue shirt before writing him off as a crap signing that some are doing on here.
