Bless.

Who the fuck's Ian Walsh?

lol exactly this, my immediate reaction to the pic...

"Eh?, Who?"

I know that letting the facts get in the way of a good story is frowned upon but sometimes a bit of context doesn't go amiss.
What Ian Walsh actually said was this;

Former Wales forward Ian Walsh says that Swansea City will miss Wilfried Bony, but the striker's £28m sale to Manchester City is good business.
The Ivory Coast international, 26, joined Swansea for a club-record £12m from Vitesse Arnhem in 2013.
The deal for Bony is £25m cash upfront with a further £3m in performance-related add-ons.
"The profit that [manager] Garry Monk and Swansea City will make on Bony will be fantastic," said ex-Swan Walsh.
"It's a shame really that he is going because he's been a fantastic player, he's a great goal-scorer, he leads the line and he's got a great attitude.
"So he has all the things that make him a top striker and Manchester City have got a great player on their hands now."
Bony was the Premier League's top scorer in 2014 with 20 goals and Walsh believes that the sum offered for the Ivorian made it almost impossible for Swansea to turn down.
"When someone offers that sort of money, a club like Swansea they've seen it before and they'll see it again," Walsh added.
"They bring in players, they've taken a gamble and that gamble has worked out for them financially."
Walsh, who played 18 times for Wales and scored seven goals, believes that Bafetimbi Gomis might prove an able replacement up front for Monk's side.
The France striker rescued a point for Swansea at home to West Hamon Saturday with a powerful header that Mark Noble could only put into his own net.
"Okay, Swansea City are losing a top-class striker, but this is an opportunity now for Bafetimbi Gomis to step up to the plate," Walsh added.
"He started off well on Saturday and Wilfried Bony might be a forgotten man within a couple of months, you never know."

Not sure there is anything to get worked up about here, seems entirely reasonable.

I say we throw him in the river. If he floats he's a witch.

What a signing for Swansea. It's easy to say "what a signing" when any highly rated player joins a mid-table type side (ie. Lovren to Southampton which isn't as impressive as it sounds), but Bony to Swansea is a huge coup and I predict he'll be the next of the "Why the fook didn't we go for him?" discussions on BM/Redcafe/RAWK/Glory Glory/Arsenal Mania/Shed End.

Are you being humorous or can you really not see that using "Wilfried Bony might be a forgotten man within a couple of months" as the catch is, at best, disingenuous?

The writer is saying "maybe we at Swans will have forgotten Bony in a couple months if Gomis takes his chance."

Doesn't read as a shot across our bow to me.

Re: Wilfried Bony?

Not seen him mentioned yet

Wants out of Vitesse

46 goals in 63 games

24 years old

Peanuts compared to Cavani

If Guidetti played another season in Holland he would not be far off those stats, if not better them.
