He wants to leave and join Everton?
Not really a club who is going to win much are they.
If it was a top 5 club I could understand it but I believe that the reason he might want to leave is closer to home. The club need to resolve any issues and retain him. Selling him to a mid table rival makes no good sense.

It's a complete joke how so many people don't seem to show faith in SP.

If he thought it was in the best interest of the club to keep Bolasie, he would.

Bolasie obviously wants a move. We're getting north of £25M.

Parish thinks it's the right thing given the circumstances.

And we should respect that.

Bolasie, McCarthy & Gayle out

With potentially Townsend, Mandanda, Tomkins, Benteke, plus two more AP hinted at. (I'd say it's likely to be two from either, Hal Robson-Kanu, Ashley Young or Niasse).

Those signings strength the team and the squad.

There's some real class being brought in, which will elevate us again within the next window to further talent picking to join us.

Honestly we're getting players like AT, Benteke and Mandanda and people are moaning.

Crazy world!!

Steve Parish probably doesn't want to sell him either... That doesn't mean he doesn't have too.

Bolasie wants to leave and the price is to good to say no.

Everton have met the valuation which means Bolasie gets what he wants or we end up with a player who doesn't want to be here....

And he won't be sold unless Benteke is a done deal, surely everyone can see that?

I personally thought Bolasie wanted to go before he signed the improved contract. Probably had a gentlemans agreement with SP that he could go to a 'bigger club' if the price was right.

He wasn't great last year, and it's time he moves on. Lucky for us the fee is all but going to pay for what will hopefully turn out to be our best forward in decades.

I can't believe that Pardew and the board would be so STUPID. What's the point of having £25 million if you can't sign a better player than the one you sold for £25 million?

Our entire season fell apart last year because of our lack of squad depth - and it was noticeable that it coincided with Bolasie's absence from the team.

With all the money washing around in the Prem at the moment, we won't be able to sign a replacement for less than £25 mill. So unless the rumours are true that Yannick is unhappy with his current contract and is showing signs of disrupting the team spirit, this is a senseless move.

Pardew smugly stated last week that it's marvellous to have competition for places; now he bites Koeman's hand off at the wrist to get rid of (arguably) our best player last season and bang goes the competition. People complain that Yala doesn't score enough goals but that's not his strength. We need a striker for that with Bolasie creating havoc down the wing to provide opportunites for him.

No striker signed all summer, deadwood still on the books and we're selling our best players. Our management is losing the plot.
