Shukes Posted August 15, 2016 Report Share Posted August 15, 2016 But he doesn't have the right stats...he hasn't scored enough goals....sell him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chalkpie Posted August 15, 2016 Report Share Posted August 15, 2016 Count me in as excited as well. I'm a sucker for YT compilations and he has a good one showing pace and dribbling skills. Guarantee that he is more fit than 90% of the players currently on our Squad.I guess we will know the truth after this season. No? Welcome Mr Bolasie, COYB!

Keith B Posted August 15, 2016 Report Share Posted August 15, 2016 Did he play for Palace over the weekend? If so, did anyone see it? Is he in form? Can he come in and play this weekend? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nutmegwolf203 Posted August 15, 2016 Report Share Posted August 15, 2016 Did he play for Palace over the weekend? If so, did anyone see it? Is he in form? Can he come in and play this weekend? Pardew applauded his professionalism and said he played with purpose regardless of the transfer being in progress (paraphrasing). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

" Beanpole to a Beast ".........excellent, like a ' Beast ' as a center forward. Good luck to the lad. Would like to see him up front with our other ' beast ' !

Newty82 Posted August 17, 2016 Report Share Posted August 17, 2016 Excited to see him play in an Everton shirt. I think a lot of us are guilty of only judging attacking players by their goals/assists count, no doubt down to the amount of stats available. But I think a lot of doubters will soon change their mind when they see how Bolasie helps us turn defence into attack in the blink of an eye. Then lay on the pass that creates the assist for someone else!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romey 1878 Posted August 18, 2016 Report Share Posted August 18, 2016 Nice to hear Lukaku has been trying to get him to sign for us for a little while. Sibdane, nutmegwolf203, London Blue and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Btay Posted August 19, 2016 Report Share Posted August 19, 2016 i thought the same thing. also makes me think he's staying for this year. That is down to lack of interest in him rather his desire though I still believe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romey 1878 Posted August 19, 2016 Report Share Posted August 19, 2016 Also, Bolasie came across very well in his press conference. He sounded really level-headed and eager to prove himself here. Bailey, Lowensda and Matt 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markjazzbassist Posted August 20, 2016 Report Share Posted August 20, 2016 I didn't realize how big this guy is. He's as tall and muscular as lukaku is. I could see us going 442 agaisnt smaller teams like Arsenal and throwing crosses from the flanks to them. Twin towers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

markjazzbassist Posted August 20, 2016 Report Share Posted August 20, 2016 Built himself up by all accounts. Hard work. He didn't look completely fit but I was very impressed. After all the negative comments I was expecting shit but he's not. Great on the ball and very very strong, good crossing too. Just needs better chemistry to link up but that will come with time. And again, he has a massive build. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newty82 Posted August 20, 2016 Report Share Posted August 20, 2016 Same. I didn't realise how much of a unit he was. One to many foot rollovers for me, but I think he'll give us another dimension. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevO Posted August 20, 2016 Report Share Posted August 20, 2016 Looked a bit nervous, and understandable being his first game with such a big transfer fee. Showed flashes of what we need. I've heard his delivery isn't great, but we saw a couple of really good balls today. Needs to start on Tuesday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romey 1878 Posted August 20, 2016 Report Share Posted August 20, 2016 Looked as likely to fall over his own feet as he looked likely to make something happen. But I didn't expect anything less because that is Bolasie in a nut shell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I didn't expect anything less because that is Bolasie in a nut shell. bit harsh, I thought he looked potent and like people have said he should have two assists. He will be massive for us this season. I'm a big fan of his. Once he gets to know his teammates you will see big things out of him. He looked like he was made up when the players went to the away support, like he was thinking fuck me I like this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finn balor Posted August 20, 2016 Report Share Posted August 20, 2016 I know that roll over looks overdone but it just gives him that little bit of time to slow his run down. Think him and rom will be lethal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
badaids Posted August 20, 2016 Report Share Posted August 20, 2016 He looked dangerous when he had the ball, but his runs without the ball were bafflingly shite. Stayed still when he had space to run into and could offer support and run into too many dead ends. If he can sort that out and drive at defences like that, I'll remain cautiously optimistic.
