Wilfried Bony

Devils advocate. They got Remy relatively cheap. They could easily get their money back for him from numerous clubs. Could they ship him off to make way?

Not like you to play devil's advocate, john. You feeling alright?

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.

How do we know the obnoxious one won't try and scupper this?

He's trying to at this very moment according to my pal who gives me the snippets I occasionally post here.

Chelsea are stuck with FFP. They are trying to move Salah on and Everton are interested apparently. Even still tent are stuck. Chelsea want Swansea to keep him until the summer and they'll match any offer of fees and wages. Problem for them is Txiki has had this ball rolling for a few months.

I've got a bony thinking about our strike force :)

Haha well said.

I said early on in the thread that this is a great signing, with our Midfield behind him and his raw power and quick feet, we have an great attacking force again.

Trouble with Remy is he has heart trouble. There aren't many clubs willing to take that gamble.

Trouble with Remy is he has heart trouble.

Without being funny then, how did he play all those games for Newcastle and why did chelsea buy him in that case.

Thought it was going too well for one of our transfers.
Hope you're right and we land him in the end.

I have absolute faith in Txiki.

Check his form. If we want a player he moves during the season and when the window open we make the move.

Chelsea have to sell players to make this move.

I'd be more worried about Real making a bid as they never replaced Higuain. Just me being paranoid as Real always seem to chase the players we want.

Interesting that Bony and agent were willing to talk to Sky so openly at The Airport, so in a couple of days then by the sounds of it.

They still would of have to manage the player very carefully and as a main striker he would be just too risky.

Jose have 17 foreigners already. He would have to move very very quick and ship someone.

havent they moved their third keeper on?

Been thinking this too. They moved him on so have space for a foreign player.

Hopefully Bony knows that we play a 4-4-2 and he would be playing with Aguero or another striker. In Chelsea's case he wouldn't be guaranteed playing time ahead of Costa.

Chelsea take punts on players because they can afford to.

Demba Ba for example.

Newcastle take risks too. Ba had no contract and they took him on and sold. Stoke passed up the chance. Newcastle tool Remy on loan as they had few options since they sold Ba and QPR bought because they needed a striker and they themselves have bought poorly.

Remy would only bring in the sum he cost. Chelsea need Salah gone and would likely offer Remy to Swansea till the summer on loan etc.

It's all speculative. I'll wait for our ITKs and Di Marzio for information but watching SSN and seeing his agent say upcoming days filled me with joy. If this was a bid war I'd say he'd play it down?
