I was told two months ago that Jose was desperate to sign Bony. Boy will he be vexed.
Read Swansea forums today and as expected they're really gutted. Mature bunch as a whole though, many wishing him well and hoping their board invests back into the team. It's laughable that Jenkins questioned the 12m fee for Bony and had the audacity to question Laudrup (whom was a fucking star for them), he's made 18m profit from this deal!
I'm hoping Swansea stay up this season. This deals been in the offing for a while now and they've kept schtum in comparison to say Blackpool/Hollawaywho wouldn't shut the fuck up about Charlie Adam etc. I'm not sure on Gomis but hope he takes the opportunity of main striker and runs with it.
Bony isn't the quickest, just like Negredo but my God is he powerful. Silky touch and tidy finisher. My only question is how he performs with the added expectations now. I'm hoping he links up well with Aguero just like Negredo did. I think he will be a great player for holding the ball up and we already know he's able to play as a line striker.
