Tony Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 15 minutes ago, weedman said: Surely every loan is "short termism"? Maybe we shouldn't bother in that case and just stuck with what we've got? For the cost of loaning a bolasie for one season, why not put that towards a younger player who can develop and we can actually get an option to buy on. Bolasie unlikely to want to stay if we don’t go up, and if we do go up will you want a 30 year old on 80k a week who’s injury prone ? Will be an amazing player if he stays fit and was anything like his previous self. We’ve just been down this route last year and it didn’t work. It got us into a mess and has left us weak in certain positions. Would personally prefer to build for the long term. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terrytini Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 I want him simply because our proximity to the Gravelly Hill ‘ Interchange’ means I can call him ‘ Spaghetti Bolaise’. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kiwivillan Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 People are frothing at the mouth on Facebook. Unbelievable 1. 70k a week 2. 1 goal no assists in 16 games back from horrible injury at 28 3. Had half a good season for Palace 3 seasons ago. 4. 70k a week!!! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacketspuds Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 I did think we were going after younger player, but maybe because Bolasie can be quality when he is on form, Bruce wants to sign him. Would still need another creative option if he comes here though as he will cause problems but not sure of his end product. The recent injury is also a concern but fingers crossed his medical is thorough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael118 Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 Bruce + flamboyancy just doesn't go together which has me excited about this and concerned at the same time. As much as I'd love for us to sign him, Middlesbrough would be the better career move for him to be honest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big difference between playing in the Championship and the Premier league. He was a quality player prior to injury that can't be denied, he only has to be half the player he was and he's still be better than what we currently have.

I'm not sure if you're serious. We would almost certainly pay 100% of his wages on loan. I believe we paid 100% of Snodgrass wages Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maqroll Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 Powerhouse player who will terrorize defenses in the C'ship when he's fit. Hard to believe people are complaining about us making a signing like this. Lighten the f*ck up. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Troglodyte Posted August 22, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted August 22, 2018 Could be an absolute monster at this level. Could be months away from match fitness, way off the pace and a total disappointment. But it's a loan so we don't really have to worry with the long term consequences (for a change!) if the latter turns out to be true. So I'm fully on board and looking forward to seeing how it goes. Spoiler He'll definitely go to Middlesbrough now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BleedClaretAndBlue Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 Can at times look like a poor mans Adama re. End product. If he stays fit, great signing. Flair and pace. About time. Oh yeah, and best thing you did Randolph was give us those facilities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe we paid 100% of Snodgrass wages We paid nowhere near 100% of snodgrasses wages, less than half according to some. (One if the pod casts was talking about it this week, moms I think) It's rare that you will ever pay the full amount as who could afford prem wages in this division? No way we are paying 70k as we still have to justify ffp. Edited August 22, 2018 by Nigel 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomaszk Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 I think he's a good player for where we are. Real Bruce style short-term signing though. Expensive and will probably just be brought down to our current level of gash. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
