With the January transfer window now open, gossip abounds over where certain players could end up come the beginning of February but one thing that Allardyce is confident of is that Bolasie is going absolutely nowhere.
"I had a weird message yesterday that we’re going to allow Yannick Bolasie to go on loan! And his agent was wondering why he heard that?" Allardyce said, via the Liverpool Echo.
"To the agent and everybody else I have to say ‘This is January for you!’
"But that speculation creates massive problems for all managers because of the tit for tat that goes on.
"There are the Chinese whispers which get rumoured and it’s very disconcerting for a player when he hears them.
"But having only just got Yannick back from such long injury lay-off it’s ludicrous to think we’ll let him go on loan.
"But the question was asked by his agent and it can be very disruptive to players."
Another player who's been linked with a move in the winter window is Sandro Ramirez, the Spanish forward who only joined Everton in July.
And while Big Sam remains hopeful that the Merseyside club can fend off reported interest in Ramirez from Sevilla, he admits that he won't have the final say on the matter.
"There has been no bids for Sandro at this moment in time," Allardyce said. "There'll be no loan as far as my recommendation is.
"But I don't make the final decision, it's made by everyone (at the club). If anybody is going to leave it would have to be for the right fee so we could use that money somewhere else."Explore more on these topics:
