Kid in the Riot Posted October 12, 2014 Report Share Posted October 12, 2014 Seems like a decent, grounded fella...cut from the same cloth as Albert, except a bit smarter by the sounds of it! http://www.theguardian.com/football/2014/oct/11/crystal-palace-yanick-bolassie-grime-winger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LondonBristolian Posted October 12, 2014 Report Share Posted October 12, 2014 Indeed. And fair play to the guy. When he left, everyone thought he - and his brother who waded in - was being arrogant in believing he should be more than a bit-part player in a struggling Championship side. In fact, he was damned right and good for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samo II Posted October 12, 2014 Report Share Posted October 12, 2014 Sounds like an excellent lad; very, very much a 'one that got away'. The fact we had him, Albert, Heaon and several other decent players at the club a few summers back, yet couldn't get our act together says a lot about the 'quality' of our management back then.

Leveller Posted October 12, 2014 Report Share Posted October 12, 2014 Seems like a decent, grounded fella...cut from the same cloth as Albert, except a bit smarter by the sounds of it! Fascinating. I'd be the first to admit that his intelligence is a surprise, and that I unconsciously and incorrectly judged that on his "headless chicken" playing style. Many people have said that if he doesn't know what he's going to do next, how can a defender? So it's interesting that in many ways he's so analytical. Like the bit too about living on the same budget when your income goes up. Very wise.http://www.theguardian.com/football/2014/oct/11/crystal-palace-yanick-bolassie-grime-winger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leveller Posted October 12, 2014 Report Share Posted October 12, 2014 Bizarre. Sorry about that. The system seems to have made it look like I edited you comments instead of replying to them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
And Its Smith Posted October 12, 2014 Report Share Posted October 12, 2014 Seems like a great bloke. Shame that only a few fans could see his potential. The carefree reaction to is departure on here was incredible. Also shame the City management couldn't see it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huntstile Red Posted October 12, 2014 Report Share Posted October 12, 2014 What a great bloke. There, I've said it, despite the stick he gets. Unfairly. What a superb read, a footballer as human being. Financially astute (he saves his wages and doesn't get ridiculously carried away with earnings!!), compassionate and family-orientated... and 25! Puts the vast majority of the Premier League to shame (the ones we know are the opposite, anyway - there must be more decent footballers out there, when will we find out about them?) That goal he scored v Cov that time was mint. Great moment. Top bloke, fair play. (Or 'top, top bloke' as it is now de rigueur to say) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UK0wnag3 Posted October 12, 2014 Report Share Posted October 12, 2014 I was a doubter, for sure. Fair play to him though, sounds like a stand up individual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaron-Bcfc Posted October 12, 2014 Report Share Posted October 12, 2014 Never had a problem with Yannick. His brother is a knob though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
