Am I the only one who really isn't happy about us chasing Bolasie? He's an exciting player but has no end product, plays in the only position we're well stocked in and will offer nothing more than Deulofeu of Kev, rather just hinder their play time. On top of that he's going to cost at least 2x more than he's ever worth.
Why when we are so desperate for a striker and full back are we splashing huge money on a winger?

In my opinion Gerry is not up to it as a winger, looks more of a threat in the middle. can't take players on, shows too much of the ball, and tries to pass n cross through players not after beating a player! infuriating and ineffective as a winger. Mirallas is predictable on the wing, cut inside and keep cutting inside till he's the other side of the pitch, rarely gets his shot away n when he does one in 10 on target. Apart from that they are good squad payers only. Need 1st team players.

Kev and Del boy are much better on the right, Bolaise plays best on the left its just about balance for me. It will be interesting if we do sign him as from what i have seen of him his work rate isn't great but that may just be the way CP play.

Agree about Deulofeu, Howie. I think his game is riddled with flaws and he is nowhere near the player a lot think he is, but he's still young and improving and is twice the player we saw on loan, so wouldn't want his play time cut.
I think Mirallas is only predictable because of who he plays with. He has the ability to go either down the wing and cross or cut inside, but because 95% of the time Lukaku isn't where he should be (around the six yard box) , he is forced inside and then, as you say, keeps on dummying.
Still though, I don't think Bolasie will solve either of these players problems. He can dribble but can't pass, cross or shoot.

Was pleased with kevs performance yesterday. with more game time hell be on top form. gerry is a great little player but for me one extremely important aspect missing. bottle. he does nt have it. he shys away from physical contact. if koeman can work on the mental side of his game hell b top draw. he needs to b braver.
