Yannick Bolasie

[Cutch]

Scored a hat trick today i see. One of my favourite players in the league for his entertainment value. He's undoubtedly a talent but end product has been questionable to date.

Could he do a job for a bigger side?

 

[the hea]

I think he could do a job for a Europa League team if he would improve his decision making a team like Southampton or Liverpool is the level he could reach.

 

[GledTheRed]

Such big legs and booty.

 

[Classical Mechanic]

He could do the kits at OT if the job came up. He would have to take a pay cut though.

 

[Theafonis]

No he's perfect where he is, mid table. I don't mean that to discredit him, he's a good player on his day.

 

[RooneyLegend]

Very talented, but his end product problems are not the sort of issue any big team would want to tackle.

 

[stepic]

He's not top4 material but he is probably too good for Palace, particularly if he continues this kind of form in the next year or two. Having said that I like Palace so hope he stays with them.

 

[kouroux]

Very true, he reminds me of Victor Moses. A player who is fast and who can dribble but who doesn't have enough consistency or productivity to play for bigger clubs.

 

[Sparky Rhiwabon]

Very talented, but his end product problems are not the sort of issue any big team would want to tackle.

I've always thought he was the sort of player who had everything except the end product - with his hattrick yesterday, maybe he has now added the end product - could be the breakthrough he needed.

 

[Minkaro]

I think yesterday he was helped a lot by Sunderland being terrible.

If he leaves Palace, it'll probably be to a team like Swansea or Everton. If he joins a bigger club, he'll just go the way of Moses at Chelsea, or Sinclair at City.

 

[Man-United]

I think Puncheon is the best player at Palace, he's been class for some time now, but Bolasie is up there.

 

[Litch]

Good player for a team just outside of the top four.....

 

[peterstorey]

I saw Bolasie play for Palace in a pre-season friendly at Dulwich Hamlet a couple of years back. He absolutely monstered the poor Dulwich fullback but I checked him out and found he was about 25 not 20-21, as I had thought.

 

[Brophs]

I think he's a good, albeit inconsistent player going through a patch of really good form. He'd struggle anywhere above upper-mid table, IMO.

 

[Spark]

If Palace want to consolidate their strong performances under Pardew and carry them into next season, they should try their hardest to hang on to players such as Bolasie. He's settled at Palace and I think any transfer would be either a sideways step or to a larger club where he wouldn't play as much (but potential £€$¥).

 

[Carl]

Good player and the "lack of end product" line is the usual, lazy line that gets trotted out for a player of his ilk.

Most wingers don't have great end product stats, especially for lower league sides where they've got to find players like Murray...

Don't see him as any worse (or certainly not much worse) than the likes of Cuadrado, Young, Nani, Walcott et al so don't see why he's getting the usual treatment of "not good enough for a top 4 side".

That seems to be the deafault option on the caf unless you are a 16 year old wonder-kid.

 

[Šjor Bepo]

Bolasie is God

 

[Nighteyes]

I love watching him play!

 

[United22]

Bolasie is God

No way!!

 

[Van Piorsing]

Memphis, watch and learn from Bolasinho mate.

 

[Ludens the Red]

Such big legs and booty.

...............Is the gayest thing ever said on the cafe

 

[Amethyst]

Puncheon did well with the free kick and was generally very good, Zaha managed to score the winner and get the pen to seal it, but Bolasie was the star man today. Almost everything good Palace did in an attacking capacity involved him, one to watch definitely because when's he confident and on his game he's a very tough player to play against.

 

[kouroux]

He was also very good against Liverpool in their first match.

 

[Walters_19_MuFc]

To say he's entertaining would be an understatement. I just love watching him play. Could see him at a club like Everton, Southampton, etc - a club just below top four.

 

[adamwest]

Bolasie is God

So glad you posted this. It had me in stitches! Outrageous haha

 

[Speak]

And then the inevitable scuffed cross.

 

[pascell]

Seems like a decent player but looks very raw in aspects, like decision making and crossing. I think he'd do well at a team like Southampton or Everton next season.

 

[AtlMuppet]

Someone like Spurs could do a lot worse than sign him. Much better than the likes of Townsend.

I wouldn't be too unhappy if he signed for us. I mean we've had Valencia and Obertan playing for us for Christ's sake.

I wouldn't want him signing for us. He's a 25 year old winger, he isn't going to improve much. A solid player for Palace, he's not a top four player though.

Valencia was very good for a few seasons and is still a solid player, though injuries have taken their toll.

You're daft as feck if you are lumping him in the same bracket as Obertan.

 

[lem8sh]

Said he was better than Zaha when we signed the latter and got the height of abuse! Very raw but talented.

 

[MyOnlySolskjaer]

Destroyed that defence, he looked pretty damn good upfront

Would love to see a Bolasie Benteke partnership.

 

[AtlMuppet]

I wouldn't want him signing for us. He's a 25 year old winger, he isn't going to improve much. A solid player for Palace, he's not a top four player though.

Fair enough. I think that we are looking in a different bracket of player right now, which is good. As I said, I wouldn't be too unhappy if he signed. I probably wouldn't cream my pants if he did the way I did for Mata or Di Maria or even Memphis.

Valencia was very good for a few seasons and is still a solid player, though injuries have taken their toll.

It's not so much injuries as his own indecisiveness and one-footedness that have taken a toll. He's regressed badly since everyone and their dog figured out his one trick of kicking the ball down the line and running really hard, and started showing him inside the field where he's worse than a clueless puppy.

You're daft as feck if you are lumping him in the same bracket as Obertan.

Would I still be daft if the bracket was "wingers who've played for United"? Would I still be daft if the bracket was "underwhelming wingers who've played for United"?

 

[peterstorey]

I wouldn't want him signing for us. He's a 25 year old winger, he isn't going to improve much. A solid player for Palace, he's not a top four player though.

Yeah, I've been saying that but he's often nearly unplayable with that pace and power.

 

[matherto]

He plays like he doesn't have full control over his legs. Impossible for defenders to predict when you can't even predict yourself.

 

[Nighteyes]

Yeah, I've been saying that but he's often nearly unplayable with that pace and power.

I think he's improved loads since Palace have been promoted. If he keeps on improving at the rate he is then he might just interest a few of the top clubs as well.

 

[peterstorey]

If Wenger got his usual 20% uplift in performance, he'd be a serious proposition.
