John Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 Any medical booked yet? If he does decide to join our promotion push rather than be seduced by the bright lights of high flying Middlesbrough then it will give us a major boost and I for one will give him a warm welcome to our club and congratulate him on the decision he has made. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A'Villan Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 (edited) Only just seen we were linked on the BBC today. Would be impressed with signing. Potentially gives us the 10+ goals we're missing from last season with Albert losing form and Snodgrass leaving. I think concerns over his recovery since being injured are worthy of consideration. That said, I can't understand people not recognising how good some of his performances for Palace were. He didn't ride on the coattail of Zaha at all. He harassed defenders both down the flanks and through the center. If he stays fit, regardless of losing some pace, we'd be adding a dimension in attack and another player capable on the ball. Elmo Chester Tuanzebe Hutton Hourihane McGinn Adomah Grealish Bolasie Kodjia That team should light up most of the championship, a quality CB away from being better than last seasons team. Papers are saying he favours a move to Middlesbrough. Edited August 22, 2018 by A'Villan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surprised they’re agreeing to letting him go Don't forget Everton love over paying for a player. He they have any hope of recouping any money for him then they need him fit and playing.

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. Since we signed Bacuna? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Potentially gives us the 10+ goals we're missing from last season with Albert losing form. I know Snodgrass was vital for team culture and was equally impressive on the pitch, can't help but feel this would be an upgrade in terms of skiill. The most he has ever scored in the league at any level is 5 goals, so not sure about that. I do think he'd be excellent at this level though, only red flag is his injury record. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although Bolasie's end product often goes astray, he can certainly create the chances. What about assists? I'd be surprised if they were the same number as goals, he's always finding space for crosses, and that's more what I was alluding to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dubbs Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 Not sure about this guy. Don't know why but I get the feeling he thinks he's too good for the championship and might end up staying at Everton. Hope im wrong, guess we'll see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has that ability to take players out the game which creates more space for others. Players like him and Jack make a big difference just being on the pitch. They change how the opponent has to approach the game. With him and Jack It’s effectively 2 players on the pitch they will need to try and double up on. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yannick is shit, if he proves me wrong then fantastic but I can’t see it So how does a player get a name without ability. Or do you mean he literally has a cool name and that’s why we are signing him? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nath_s91 Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 I seen a genuine text from a villa player yesterday saying Bolasie is done. He also said his an absolute baller, I don't know if his saying that from past experience or he trained yesterday maybe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vive_La_Villa Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 Injury aside I can’t believe any fan can not be excited about this signing. He will rip this league up and it shows serious intent. This is like the Snodgrass loan. I love watching him play. Lights game up. As for the injury. That’s what Medicals are for. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Demitri_C Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 With regards to knee injury do people not forget he would have a intense medical before signing?
