cider-manc Posted October 4, 2013 Report Share Posted October 4, 2013 "Where I doubted ever becoming a Premier League player the most was when I was at Bristol City," he said. "I was in and out of the team. It was hard because the way I like to play wasn't the way I was playing when I was getting the chance." Sounds more like he was frustrated with his own form and lack of opportunities to me- Nothing wrong with a player saying that. We all knew the guy had talent but just didn't seem to settle in a city shirt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red-Robbo Posted October 4, 2013 Report Share Posted October 4, 2013 And to think, all it took was someone to tell him to look up when running and not collide with the first opponent to cross his path.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lew-T Posted October 4, 2013 Report Share Posted October 4, 2013 You've just got to say well done and fair play to the bloke for where he's got to now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bcfctim Posted October 4, 2013 Report Share Posted October 4, 2013 Fair enough really. There doesn't seem to be any bitterness there, he says himself he didn't play as well as he'd of liked when he got the chance here. He left in a deal that was good for all parties (at the time, we may have regretted it later!) and he's gone on from there. Good luck to him.

O'Garlandinho Posted October 4, 2013 Report Share Posted October 4, 2013 He isn't having a dig at City, just basically saying that he couldn't believe he would make it in the prem, if he can't get into the team of a very poor championship team.

Admin phantom Posted October 4, 2013 Admin Report Share Posted October 4, 2013 Facts don't really lie, look at our history and see how often we have been in the top division. We were just a stepping stone in his ambition to move to the Premier League. Never personally saw that much in YB, he scuffed his goal Vs Coventry, and never seemed as good as Adomah.

I felt he had huge potential just wasn't risked because of our impending doom and because him and Albert together were too much of a luxury in those circumstances. Had great talent but very raw.

Brighton away, came on and changed the game, Burnley on the last day best player on the pitch... Off the top of my head. Had clear potential.

Had clear potential. a few games he may have been okay, but overall IMO he was awful. Was a reason we were using Woolford, Campbell-Ryce and Pearson before he was in the 11. Even that goal he claimed ''kept us up'' in the Palace programme notes last season, a near enough open goal, rolled in. As soon as he went to Palace obviously something's clicked because for me he was better than Zaha in some of their games that I saw of theirs. For us, it just didnt happen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BCFC Jordan Posted October 4, 2013 Report Share Posted October 4, 2013 I'm not convinced he'll look anywhere near the player that he was last season when he returns. Mainly because last season he was provided with a lot of space due to opposition teams having to focus on marking Zaha, and even Glenn Murray. Due to this Bolasie was allowed a lot of space and that's something he'll thrive on. When he returns soon he won't have those players to help him out, he'll be playing in a struggling team and will be up against vastly superior defenders. I thought he should have been given more of a chance whilst here, but wasn't that disappointed when he left in all honesty. I don't think he's as good as he was made out to be last season, in my eyes he's just an average Championship winger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WellRedPhil Posted October 4, 2013 Report Share Posted October 4, 2013 You've just got to say well done and fair play to the bloke for where he's got to now. Of course you have, although sour grapes won't allow some people to do this. He was used sparingly for us, odd bits here and there and never given a chance despite the fact others in his position were hardly setting the world alight. He left for first team football, not only did he receive it but he also earned promotion. People hating on him, saying he betrayed us by leaving or whatever are simply bitter. Good luck to him, he's done absolutely nothing wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
finbarr_in_z Posted October 4, 2013 Report Share Posted October 4, 2013 Ah, but we had half a good song for him. Didn't he take that into account? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BRISTOL86 Posted October 4, 2013 Report Share Posted October 4, 2013 Over rated and won't ever be a premier league regular. Just not good enough. Will probably spend most of his career in the Championship. Nothing against him and will always remember him for that goal against Cov that essentially sent them down, as my mate is a Cov fan!

Chappers Posted October 4, 2013 Report Share Posted October 4, 2013 Decent enough player, showed potential with us, but opportunities were limited. Palace found a formation to fully utilise him, and he developed as a player. Fair play to the guy, he moved on and has done well for himself, whilst we are on the crest of a slump.

Superjack Posted October 5, 2013 Report Share Posted October 5, 2013 Telling it like it is... ...wanted to leave City for that reason... ...don't blame him at all... ...I think that I will now follow him out... ... Bye. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LondonBristolian Posted October 5, 2013 Report Share Posted October 5, 2013 Didn't he leave because he wanted to go back to London? I assume it was a combination of a chance to move closer to home and a club that wanted him to play regularly. I'm not sure which one he gave in his transfer request but it's fair enough that people might have more than one reason for making a decision. I bear the guy no grudges whatsoever and wish him all the best. He felt he could do better and deserved more of a chance than he had here and frankly he's proved he was right. Good luck to him.
