Vive_La_Villa Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 If its a choice between Birm and Boro I reckon he will choose us simply because of location. He’s a Landan boy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the most skilful players you’ll ever see. He once rubbed the grass with his hand one way and then turned the player the other way. Great entertainment.

Nah he will struggle just like all those foreign fancy Wolves players last year in the harsh winter months But on a serious note I don’t think any place in the Championship is hard to play at anymore in terms of facilities or state of pitch. Even Rotherham play in New York!! 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael118 Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 I'll be absolutely thrilled if we can sign Bolasie. Will be by far the best signing we've made since dropping into the Championship if it happens. My only concern would be how he would function in a team managed by Steve Bruce - he just doesn't seem like a player Bruce would ordinarily go for or be able to get the best out of at all. Still, haven't been this excited by a possible signing in a long time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tooo deflated. ha ha, i hope he signs and proves me wrong, i def don't think he is a bad player, just not worth 30 million. many have said he was a lot better than Adomah at Bristol City and Adomah turned out to be awesome for us even if he has gone to dobbins now.

Guest av1 Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 The bloke cost £30m not to long back. Now even with the inflated PL price tags, one would assume that if the injury hasn't ruined him, he will ruin championship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest av1 Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 I wonder if having his best friend at the club will also see an upturn in form for Albert? Having the Albert that played so well for the first half of the season on the left, with Bolasie on the right, could be a very exciting prospect.

Tony Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 If we sign him and don’t go up I wouldn’t be able to see this potential signing as anything but a failure. Short termism over buying and developing for the long term. Don’t go up back to square one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrSmirch Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 Signing a name rather than ability, not surprised. Yannick is shit, if he proves me wrong then fantastic but I can’t see it 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Junxs Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 (edited) Gotta be honest, whenever I watched him play I never rated him, always tries to do too much and often loses possession. End product usually poor as well. I remember being absolutely gobsmacked at how much Everton paid for him Also being in the same team as Zaha often got praised on the back of Zahas performances, much like how Downing used to get praise for Youngs performances here when he wasnt half the player. Commentators and pundits just state they have exciting wingers and bracket them together. Edited August 21, 2018 by Junxs 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lapal_fan Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 I remember him dribbling past about 4 of our players, running the entire length of our half, 1 on 1 with guzan and he smashed it against the bar towards the holte. LOL. He's fun to watch, but his end product is a bit frustrating. Maybe at championship level he'll be better. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bolasies injury would have taken most his pace I fear, knee ligament damage can do that. Not sure nursing him fit for Everton is in our best interest. His goals / assist tally wasnt that great before the injury nevermind after it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
