Dirtysanchez Posted September 1, 2018 Share Posted September 1, 2018 Bolasie to start today surely? Looking forward to seeing what he adds to the side, think he is a quality signing myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I reckon they’ll target after the INT break Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Albrighton Posted September 1, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted September 1, 2018 Think I read somewhere that Bruce is cautiously optimistic about him featuring in the Blackburn game (15th September). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alreadyexists Posted September 1, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted September 1, 2018 Maybe a sub to get a bit of match fitness? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brommy Posted September 1, 2018 Share Posted September 1, 2018 I know there are many on VT who have no time for Bruce but I’d still recommend listening to his pre-match press conferences to hear who is injured or who is in contention to play. Bruce said he hoped Bolasie would be available after the international break. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicken Field Posted September 1, 2018 Share Posted September 1, 2018 States how excited he is to play with Albert again, who the manager then unsuccesfully tries to get rid of 2 days later, Bolasie must be fuming and already having regrets. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiwivillan Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 Played 12 games back from injury for Everton are least 45min mostly +60min for 1 goal and 0 assists. I think the excitement for him is exaggerated 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is never easy to get back to your best after a lengthy absence, so we will need patience. I hope he comes good for us, but I have my doubts.

turvontour Posted September 15, 2018 Share Posted September 15, 2018 How far away is he, presumably he's training? Keep seeing his name mentioned in match threads around him starting. I was at a bbq in Manchester a couple of weeks ago and got talking to a bloke who runs an amateur team up there. He said his mates the physio that worked with Bolasie following his injury. Physio said it was up there with the worst football injury he'd seen and is surprised that he has been able to play again. Doesnt bode well as to what we can expect from him.

So unless there have been any setbacks, one would assume he can't be to far away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest av1 Posted September 18, 2018 Share Posted September 18, 2018 Very good tonight. I haven't watched PL football for a few years now so I've only really seen youtube clips of the guy. From those i was worried that he seemed a bit of a flashy sort guy more worried about highlight reals than end product, but after seeing him tonight that seems unfounded. What i liked so much is that be gets the ball in early. Maybe I'm just old but i think i winger should beat a man and get a cross in at the earliest opportunity, no fecking about with step overs and pissing around showcasing skills, just cross the bloody ball. He did that on a number of occasions with very good delivery. I think this kid will be a big player for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally imposed himself on the game, all action. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HanoiVillan Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 Agreed with the above. Even if you ignore the goal, he looked almost comically too good for a team like Rotherham. On the basis of only this small piece of evidence, I'm more excited about his potential than any of our other summer signings to be honest. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alreadyexists Posted September 19, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted September 19, 2018 The goal will do him the world of good for confidence, he looks like the baller we were all hoping for! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villaglint Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 (edited) Hadnt realised quite how quick he was/is. Still a way to go fitness wise but looks like a player who can do real damage in this league. Great thing is with him, Adomah, El Ghazi, Grealish and even Kodjia all offering us an option wide we have the quality to keep every sharp and raring to go, keen to make an impression. Big difference to asking Adomah and Snodgrass to win us every game like we did last year. As we saw over 40 odd games it just doesn't happen.

rodders0223 Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 Looks much stockier than I remember him, whether that is lack of fitness or a concerted effort to bulk up during his injury I am not sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nigel Posted September 19, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted September 19, 2018 (edited) One thing that took me by surprise was his bravery in scoring his goal! The majority of wingers would shy away from a desperate challenge from a defender especially when offered the chance of a diving header. He went for it 100%, even smashing the defender in the process. Bravo sir! Edited September 19, 2018 by Nigel 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
