Yannick Bolasie loan deal

Anderlecht 6 goals in 17 games...I would hazard a guess that the top league in Belgium is nowhere near as good as the premiership, but probably a tad better than the championship..so he might be able to achieve more at this level. I also don’t think we would be loaning him as a goal scorer, more of a goal maker.
Its interesting to speculate on the quality of the Belgium League and the top of the Belgium League is possibly a tad above Championship but not the Belgium league in general, more like Scottish Premier to me.
 
Wing - A National League standard player, well that's higher than Stuani who was rated as Northern League according to some on here.

I prefer facts to opinions - 7 goals in 40 Championship League games (no pens) last season.
I don't think anyone denies he can shoot, that isn't the only stat or even most important stat in a team game.
 
Wing is a no10 and should be given the chance to perform there. Hes not a CM his game doesnt suit playing there so I'm not surprised hes not performing but hes cost nothing and come up with some important and spectacular strikes. Why people feel the need to knock him whilst begging for an overpaid washed up player who didnt even want to come when he had any other choice I dont know.
 
I think Wing, like a lot of our players, will not fulfil the potential they have shown as they don't seem to have a set position. It's OK being versatile when you are experienced but surely when you don't have a lot of experience having a set position is going to get to the bottom of you.
 
Besic would have been a better 6mill investment than Gestede
So what? Im talking about Besic.
If hes that good - why is no-one bidding for him?
Sat at Everton on a fat wage - going nowhere.
He cant cut it in the Premiership.
I dont care.
Hes not coming here and Im glad.

And whats with this obsession about "stat(s)"?
Thats kids stuff - computerised football.
Do the stats tell us if a bloke has the character to lead and motivate?
Michael Doyle at Notts County is their Captain.
Hes 40 and has limited pace.
But his distribution in midfield is critical to their success.
Stats tell us only part of the story.
Ask Neil about stats - I doubt he takes much notice - he just builds successful teams based on sound man-management(y)

Not sure why you said "Gestede" in my quote, I said Saville. I would have rather we loaned Besic last year than buy Saville.

Anyway Besic is without a suitor purely because of his wages....doesn't stop him being a fine player at this level.

every top clubs employs match and player analysts who pour through a whole host of stats. Every player plays with a little sports bra and a tracker on his back. But I'm sure it's completely pointless and all those successful clubs are wasting their money

No, it’s his ability and attitude that stops him being a fine player at this level.
 
If Everton pay his wages, and he knuckles down why not.

He is 31, he will be looking for another contract with somebody to finish his ‘career’.
If he does come to us, and actually plays....and does well enough to catch another club’s eye for a contract we have nothing to lose here.
He will know its his last real chance.
The alternative for him is oblivion.
