It's safe to say that Yannick Bolasie's best years are behind him, but those best years were certainly during his time at Crystal Palace.
The now 32-year old moved to Selhurst Park in 2012 for £567k from Palace's fellow Championship side at the time Bristol City.
Current director of football at Palace Dougie Freedmen, who was manager when the transfer took place, described the transfer as 'easy' in an interview for the club's Amazon Prime documentary.
According to him, Bristol City 'felt sorry for the player' after Palace had just thrashed them 4-1.
As far as signings go, easy or not, it turned out to be a good one for the Eagles. He was a key part to their promotion success and had ten goal contributions by the end.
However, it was his form in the Premier League that raised eyebrows, particularly in the 14/15 and 15/16 season where he tallied 24 goal contributions in 60 games.
Described as "wonderful" by Tony Pulis' assistant, Gerry Francis, he was also dubbed 'dazzling' and 'an entertainer' and it wasn't long until he was attracting interest from some bigger clubs in the Premier League.
A move eventually came and it was to Everton for £25m, but he failed to repeat the form he showed in south London when he moved to Merseyside.
Bolasie saw out his five-year contract but it was a transfer nightmare for the Toffees with the Congo international only making 32 appearances and being involved in just six goals during his time at Goodison.
The period included various loan spells to Aston Villa, Anderlecht, Sporting Lisbon and Middlesbrough. It's also worth noting that he missed a year's worth of action due to an injury.
So what went wrong? Well whilst the 32-year-old record at Palace was good, at the time £25m seemed a lot, and if he was that good then why weren't clubs like Manchester City or Chelsea snapping him up at the time?
Maybe it's because they were able to attract a higher quality of player due to being in the Champions League and therefore not having to shell out £25m for a player who turned out to be 'average'.
After leaving Everton last summer Bolasie joined Turkish side Caykur Rizespor on a free transfer and is now worth just £608k. On that evidence, it's safe to say they struck gold by selling him when they did.
