BOLASIE WELCOMES SPURS LINK

Boss is spot on

I am 65 & think I would still hit the target more than Townsend does.

As for skinning people, he reminds me more of Strictly with his pirouettes and turning back all the time.

Tell me the last time he ran at defenders & got a shot on target, let alone a goal!???

Posters only consider Bolasie better than Townsend because Bolasie doesn't play for Spurs.

If Townsend played for Palace, we'd be saying he was better than what we have.

@LeeJAndersson: #COYS have today placed an official bid with #CPFC for Yannick Bolasie. The figure is unconfirmed but thought to be slightly short.


Dunno who he is or what he does but Gards who has links with Spurs retweeted it.

His shooting is dreadful. Wasn't his 1st goal in 13/14 and cross that evaded everyone?!

Imagine a crap hybrid of all of our wingers:

- Chadli's no pace
- Lamela's feeble upper-body strength
- Lennon's daisy-cutter crosses
- Townsend's wayward shooting

I think I'd cry!

Chicken, why do you accuse people of having some sort of motive all the time mate? If I think Bolasi is better than Townsend then that's what I think. I think he's more dangerous than Townsend. I think he's more intelligent than Townsend on the ball and I think he's a better player.

Chronic, I just don't get why he thinks I have a motive and that I would think townsend is better than Bolasi if he were a Spurs player. I have seen enough of Townsend and seen a decent amount of games of palace who are my local side by the way and Bolasi for me is a better player than Townsend

Don't get suckered into an argument with him. His gaydar went off when Townsend's name was mentioned. Why indulge in the argument he's clearly seeking as always?

Don,

Chicken, why do you accuse people of having some sort of motive all the time mate? If I think Bolasi is better than Townsend then that's what I think. I think he's more dangerous than Townsend. I think he's more intelligent than Townsend on the ball and I think he's a better player.

================================

I’m not sure I accused anyone of anything . It just seems common practice on here for posters to claim players of other clubs are better than what we’ve got when there isn’t really any evidence of it. I think posters remember that one trick Bolasie did against Eriksen rather than actually knowing anything about his all round play.

Just a quick comparison:

Bolasie

Last season he played 34 times, getting 4 goals (1 in every 8.5).
The season before he played 29 times, zero goals (0%).

Townsend

Last season he played 17 league games, getting 2 goals (1 in every 8.5)
The season before he played 25 times, 1 goal (> 0%).

These are not the results I would expect to see from a more dangerous and more intelligent player. It just smacks as being like-for-like, or what I said earlier which was that if the players were the other way around you’d be saying the same about Townsend as what you’re saying about Bolasie (and vice-versa).

That is the point i'm making.

Chronic doesn’t like Townsend because it reminds him of when he looks in the mirror , and because he’s anti-England, of course….

================================

Cor dear, this is like the Lamela / Roma debate all over again .

Can you answer me these questions:

1. Are you now saying you watch Spurs AND Palace regularly?

2. How many Palace games do you see per season, is it just when they’re live on Sky, BT Sports etc, do you go to Selhurst Park, or is it just MoTD highlights you see?

I’m genuinely interested.

Ledley’s, you’re not meant to let on that you read my posts – I’m filtered to you, remember .

It seems I’m more on your gaydar than anything else .

Bolasie Is just flavour of the month ATM

I actually think Puncheon is better than him for palace.

We needed pace so we bought N'Jie so think this is a no goer anyway.

I watch crystal palace enough to judge Bolasi and he's a better player than andros Townsend

posted on 17/8/15

That didn't answer any of my questions, Don.

posted on 17/8/15

What does it matter wether I have seen palace on sky or at selhurst? I saw palace on TV atleast 8 occasions last season and all these games Bolasi played and impressed. I have watched Andros townsend plenty and he flatters to deceive. Like I said, Bolasi is a better player than Townsend .... And yes I have seen palace at selhurst. No not regularly.

What games did he impress you in last season?

why does chicken think i look like Andros towsend?

posted on 17/8/15

As Just H says, I think Puncheon is the better out the two. He's certainly more consistent.

Don suckered in as per usual.

If anyone went to the palace away game last year you would of seen Bolasi run rings around us. He was an absolute menace that day and we couldn't get near him. I have never seen Townsend put in a dominating display like that for us

Evening chaps. This Bolasie rumour aint going away so many of us are resigned to him leaving. As we all know, he's a fantastic player on his day but beyond frustrating the majority of the time. For all the flair, his end product and goal tally really is poor tbh but that could easily be down to us and the pressure of 'establishing ourselves' in this division. That said, he frightens the life out of the opposition which is a huge asset. Price? I'd say 15mil min, i doubt we'd sell him for anything less.
