Ten caps, five of which were friendlies and in 9 of which he was a sub. This in an England squad that has won jack sh1t, and I suspect selected because he'd played at U16, 17 & 19 levels so as is always the case with the England set up, keep picking the same old, same old. As to his apparent technical deficiencies being his reason for not playing at Spurs, you've hardly given me any great confidence in him. I stand by my judgement but hope that I'm proven wrong. I agree we need another goalscorer but I'm a little miffed that it appears we can only fund it by selling Bolasie. I'll be a little appeased when I see Benteke's signature on a contract.

Before you criticise someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes. That way, when you criticise them, you're a mile away and you have their shoes.

On the plus side, if he does go I'll get the chance to start a 'Bolasie Come Home' thread.

At this rate looking up at a number of teams above us.

Do you actually watch Palace games?

The season hasn't even begun yet

"Look at that. Accident blackspot? These aren't accidents! They're throwing themselves into the road gladly! Throwing themselves into the road to escape all this hideousness!"

I'm sorry but I find this comment a little ridiculous. You think lack of ambition has been a recurring theme? Please recall the club's position when CPFC2010 took over.. When they spoke about Premier league promotion most discounted that as normal wishful thinking. The growth and development over the last few years are down to the ambition of the club's management and owners.

The American investment was clearly allocated for stadium and infrastructure improvement and that was made completely transparent at the time.

While Bolasie is one of our best players (and one of my favourite) if the club can't bring in the quality of striker needed to progress the club they have to look at making a sale. This deal is the best that has even been rumoured for any of our players and it would be foolish to not consider it. How else are we supposed to get good striking options in? How else are we supposed to progress? I would say that if this money is responsibly reinvested in good attacking options in this window then this IS showing ambition.
