Could've had Chadli and Nathan Redmond for the same money. Hard to argue that wouldn't have been better value.

He's not different enough from Kev for my taste. He's a head-down merchant just like Kev and Gerry, wants to get the ball turn and run. We had much more important issues to address than another winger and think Chadli is more a heads-up type which is what we needed more imo. He's fine I don't mind him done ok but I think those two would be better value and give us more options.I don't think Spurs would have been too keen on selling Chadli to us.
Redmond is okay but we have a very similar player in Deulofeu.
I've said it time and time again but Bolasie offers us something different to what we have before and I'm baffled why people are unhappy with him.
He's got 3 assists in 7 league games, he's formed a very good partnership with Rom and really should have had at least 3 or 4 more assists having set-up some proper sitters (2 at WBA, 1 for Valencia v Bournemouth and 1 for Gueye vs Palace).
By no means consistent but we knew that already, but so far he's been a good addition.

In the age of the internet saying you'd prefer someone else or he's done fine means "you hate the lad". Get a grip man I said I'd have preferred Chadli and Redmond for the same money not that I think Yala is crap. They're head-down merchants imo and too similar.He isn't anything like Kev or Del. The only similarity is the position he plays.
Del is a winger/forward who has no real strength, but a lot of pace and trickery, along with an eye for a good cross.
Kev is a bit more silky than either of them, probably a better passer than both and more adept at linking the play. Since his injuries he lost a yard of pace but is by no means a 'head down merchant', his best moments for us have always come when he's been linking up in and around the area (why I personally think that he could be moved central more often - like we saw against Sunderland).
Bolasie is much more about his power. He's tall, has a lot of pace and most importantly is strong. That means that he offer something at both ends as well as being able to expose a full-back with his pace. Yes, he's inconsistent, but pretty much any winger is.
I've never known a new signing to get so much stick on here despite having such a good start. I genuinely don't know what people expected of him.
He can be an exceptional crosser of the ball for sure.
There's just times when it looks like he cant cross for ... well toffee to be honest!
If you get a consistent Bolasie you have some player. But I'd imagine Palace were aware of this too.

One who scores on average of three a season? Nah, no chance! He's worth less than half what we paid for him. He's a one trick cart horse, and even that trick goes wrong most of the time.Nah, £20 millions is a standard top 8 player attacker now.
