RED4LIFE Posted November 27, 2014 Report Share Posted November 27, 2014 I'm sure I read at the time we also had a sizable sell-on clause. Probably between 20%-30% I would expect. The better he performs the more we can expect to earn when he does eventually move with any luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pongo88 Posted November 27, 2014 Report Share Posted November 27, 2014 I can't be the only one who thinks balasie and Albert were crapThey both had their faults but crap is a bit OTT. Nicky Hunt was crap and they were world beaters compared to him. If we put it into perspective, both cost peanuts, but both contributed in differerent ways to the team Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

REBS14 Posted November 27, 2014 Report Share Posted November 27, 2014 I can't be the only one who thinks balasie and Albert were crap Erm yes, Bolasie was at the club at the wrong time, Mciness didnt give him 1st team footy so fairplay he went. He was IMO always the more direct and exciting player to watch. Imagine him in our side now ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaskoolay Posted November 27, 2014 Report Share Posted November 27, 2014 I would rather not much happier with little running down our wing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
REBS14 Posted November 27, 2014 Report Share Posted November 27, 2014 I would rather not much happier with little running down our wing really ? of late have thought Little hasnt really done it for me, on two occasions Saturday he had his back to the game.

Fordy62 Posted November 27, 2014 Report Share Posted November 27, 2014 I watched Bolasie against Liverpool on Sky. I've never seen anyone look so uncomfortable on the ball in my life. Give me Albert any day. I'd love Liverpool to buy him. It'd be a flop to beat all flops at that level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCFC Jordan Posted November 27, 2014 Report Share Posted November 27, 2014 I still firmly believe Albert is the better player of the two. Bolasie doesn't score enough for a winger, think it's 3 in 80+ games for Palace. Premier League clubs have been interested in Albert but Boro fended off the interested and gave him a new long-term contract this summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure what game you watched he destroyed the right back all day. Albert against Liverpool in the cup looked way out of his depth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaskoolay Posted November 27, 2014 Report Share Posted November 27, 2014 I have not seen the last few matches but the games iv watched little has impressed. Bolasie to me is headless chicken And ball control is poor. He looks like a good player to the less football brained fans in my opinion. I was talking to a palace fan the other day and he used the word sh@t to describe him..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roe Posted November 27, 2014 Report Share Posted November 27, 2014 Some bizarre posts here. Both were clearly two of the best players we've had in recent years and it's a huge shame that we wasted our time with both of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tinman-is-god Posted November 27, 2014 Report Share Posted November 27, 2014 Albert is much the better player. More creative, better in front of goal and more of an all-round player. Yannick's pace and directness is a great tool in the Prem due to the lack of proper wingers but Albert is clearly the better player IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bolasie didnt perform at all until the pre season he left. Quite why people have this bizarre recollection that he was Ronaldo I'll never know.

It's weird how he never really stood out all that much but since then he's shown just what a talent we could've made use of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCFC Jordan Posted November 28, 2014 Report Share Posted November 28, 2014 For all the comparisons between the two, it would have been nice to have had Bolasie in his Palace form and Albert on each wing. Can't imagine many defences would have enjoyed that. Considering we were awful in the 2011/12 season and Bolasie was an unknown quanity at the time, I can't imagine that ever happened much, if at all. Maybe then we'd have seen the best out of Bolasie. After all, that's why I think he did so the season Palace went up, he got more space from teams' man-marking Zaha, just as would have the case with Albert, here.

bcfctim Posted November 28, 2014 Report Share Posted November 28, 2014 I think the problem and the reason Bolasie went was our centre midfield was so awful at the time we couldn't accommodate both of them. It had to be one or the other and Albert was always on top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
