Red Robin Posted May 28, 2011 Report Share Posted May 28, 2011 whether signing him is a priority or not, the fact that we are probably paying next to nothing for him means its a chance not to be missed. if he has half the impact Albert has had this season then it would be another bit of fantastic business and a player for the future. personally im hoping it means JCR is on his way out and we can bring in the quality needed to mount a serious play off challenge. You must be joking woolford out before jcr, the guy had done nothing since joining us.jcr causes twice the problems woolford does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeaMillsRed Posted May 28, 2011 Report Share Posted May 28, 2011 Watching the You Tube videos he looks like a player with a good first touch which will be great at taking the championship defenders by suprise, good range of passing and trickery will see him perform like Albert. Hopefully and create goals for us on the ground and in the air. We need a bit of flair at times and strengh on either wing is a bonus incase of injuries plus it brings competition for places which is what we need.

BCFC Jordan Posted May 28, 2011 Report Share Posted May 28, 2011 Although he doesn't score many on the videos, it is clear he can become a very good player. Still only 22 as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Popodopolous Posted May 28, 2011 Report Share Posted May 28, 2011 Horse crap did we. And Redknapp has never stated that he was played out of position Prior to a few weeks ago, there was never a single mention of him as a full back, When he joined, both us and tottenham described him as a winger, for england he'd played as a winger, when he joined spurs from leeds, he was described as a winger, he's said himself he's a winger! When he first played for Spurs, he was a winger! He's ALWAYS been a winger and only in the last month/6 weeks has he ever been refered to playing left back, I'd have given him a try at left back, even said as much when he was here.Maintain it'd have been worth a go, definitely- this is not mere hindsight either.

spudski Posted May 28, 2011 Report Share Posted May 28, 2011 I have a gut feeling that Jamie Mac will still be our prefered LB next season...I'm hoping not...but i just get the impression KM rates him still. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordan Tansley Posted May 28, 2011 Report Share Posted May 28, 2011 Will be chuffed if we get him, Should be a small fee and he has bags of potential and provides cover and competition on both flanks. He's still young so will hopefully pick up a few skills in the "end product" department as time goes on. Puts to bed the moaning about us not trying to sign anyone... Back under the rock they go...

Sargent Pepper Posted May 28, 2011 Report Share Posted May 28, 2011 No they don't Jordan, they simply have changed their moan to "why are we signing a winger when we need a LB / CM! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex_BCFC Posted May 28, 2011 Report Share Posted May 28, 2011 He's a solid defender and hard as nails and can take a dead ball kick better than most in the team (pitman is better). But not too good with the ball at his feet going forward and has a tendency to play the boring "ball down the line" too often instead of looking for options. But he's a safe option so still a valuable first team squad member. I don't find him safe at all anymore. His set pieces are so frustrating too. I would like to see him as our back-up not first choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Riaz Posted May 28, 2011 Report Share Posted May 28, 2011 Sorry, I forgot - you are the oracle on all things football. My apologies great one. I dont claim to be a know it all when it comes to football, but it only requires a basic knowledge of football to see he has been shocking in recent seasons.

FanaticRed Posted May 28, 2011 Report Share Posted May 28, 2011 I was talking generally you dick. Obviously the club want him. I was merely floating the notion generally because I'm not convinced we do. Ps: it's god to you. Jesus was my son "Dick"? haha, pipe down you mug!!

Lordofthebling Posted May 28, 2011 Report Share Posted May 28, 2011 Speaking to a few Plymuff mates - they said he is a young, exciting, but inconsistent player. Does have a bit of a temper about him as well apparently... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CotswoldRed Posted May 29, 2011 Report Share Posted May 29, 2011 I'm happy with this signing. If we can bring in players for lower fees and nuture them into something special, its going to cost us far less than bringing in the dross that's cost us a fortune in the past. Lets just hope we've found a gem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

numbeast Posted May 29, 2011 Report Share Posted May 29, 2011 I asked my young 'un about the lad as he lives in Plymouth and used to work for Argyle (and he's been known to watch them a few time but he thinks I don't know that ) He said Bolassie was both good and bad, in as much as he does have bags of potential but can go missing for long periods of the game as well as being somewhat selfish with the ball. He also questioned his attitude having heard him after the last game of the season saying he was off because he's easily good enough for the Championship. Now I'm all for a bit of arrogance from an attacking player in fact I'd say that was essential but probably best not to crow before you've tested the water. Oh and one last thing my lit'lun said was he score a cracking goal in that last game, so who knows he may be a great addition to the squad.

We would have time to coach him so not worried about a few problems. If we do sign him for a nominal fee then we have nothing to lose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bcfc24 Posted May 31, 2011 Report Share Posted May 31, 2011 I dont think that this is true about them meeting today. Millen isn't in the country so how can we complete a transfer without him here to run the rule over the deal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monkeh Posted May 31, 2011 Report Share Posted May 31, 2011 Contract talks would be between the player and the chairman mainly the manager would prolly sit in on it, So Teflon doesn't have to be around but he may well be their on a telephone conferance call, Anyway I thought he was due back this week?

GrahamC Posted June 1, 2011 Report Share Posted June 1, 2011 Sounds like its going to be announced today http://www.thisisdev...il/article.html I'd suggest that the following paragraph in the article suggest we haven't paid very much, too........... "The Herald understands Argyle have moved to sell Bolasie as soon as possible because he put in a 14-day notice of termination of his contract".
