PompeyVillan Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 That's a ballsy decision from Smith. I think it's a value for money decision, the performances we got from Bolasie hasn't justified the money we spent on his wages. I think it's the right decision, he's clearly not the player he once was, he doesn't work hard enough, he'd expensive, he's on loan with no option to buy and therefore he's blocking the development of our own players. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the worst scenario for us - I'd prefer it was our choice because we'd found a use for the money - we might need to do that quite quickly. Nah a worse scenario would have been him downing tools but staying around until the end of the season picking up a large pay packet, like....well, too many examples to list. I’m delighted he’s gone. Much rather free up some wages and give Green the chance to develop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was more a response to the original poster in how long they had been gone. IIRC, both were a drain on our resources, maybe one more than the other but both offered very little.

Keener window-cleaner Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 I think we are better off without him. He looks like he plays for himself, detached from the rest of the team. He doesn't run back and do the defensive work, and when he gets the ball, it's like it doesn't matter what his team mates are doing or what movement they have worked on in training, he tries to do something spectacular for himself and fails 9 times out of 10. In the long run that's detrimental for the team as the others don't know what to expect and we become a team of individuals. His body language has also been wrong for most of the time. It's been painful for me to think of how much money we have paid him without getting value for that. I'm so much more happy to have Andre Green in his position. A very good decision to cancel the contract imo. Another great decision from the club! (and whether it formally was his decision or not, it's obvious that he was told something that triggered the decison) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That definitely remains to be seen as we have yet to see what this hierarchy can actually do. The glimpes so far appear to be encouraging. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demitri_C Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 No interested in helping us getting back to where we belong, so even if h was on 10k shouldn’t be here. we need players who are here for the cause.

Brumstopdogs Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 Although Bolasie is no doubt a talented player his performances on the whole have not been good enough and he did not justify the wage we were paying him. This now gives us the chance to put the money to better use and good riddance to any player who doesn't to play for this fine club. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
