Wishlist Wilfried Bony

[Magic Lamps 11,692]

If Bony does indeed sign for West Ham United I can't really see him fitting in. Yeah, he's strong, but he's not some amazing aerial threat like Carroll, is he? He's more like Lukaku; strong enough to try and win the ball in the air if needed, but you shouldn't rely on long-balls to him - which I presume W.H.United are planning.

Isn't Lewis Carroll only a loanee? Maybe Bony is aimed to be his replacement. Btw I do not get why lukaku is less of an aerial threat than Carroll. They are the same height + white men can't jump. It is rather a matter of playing style, WBA play more of a passing game, whereas we all know what Allardyce's teams play like.

This is a ridiculous thing to say. Carroll's white but his leap is infinitely better than Lukaku's.

I don't think so. Carroll might be the better header of the ball cos his timing and technique are better, but I am pretty sure Lukaku has at least an equal vertical leap. He can do a sommersault which requires a good leap for such a big guy and he is also way faster than Carrol. There might be white men that are explosive and can't jump becaue of they do not have the same density of ft-fibres around the knee that they got in the quads/hams. Black people do not have that dysbalance, cos they do not only got more ft-fibres overall in general but those are also more consistently spread over the whole body.

Still, the fact is that Andy Carroll wins most headers for a striker in the PL. Go look it up if you want.

Also, for your own benefit, stop generalising black people and white people. Not all black people have a good leap, and not all white people aren't able to jump.

i did not generalize. it is simply highly probable that if u are black and a good sprinter u are also a good leaper. Lukaku is a good sprinter. I do not argue that Carroll is the better header, but i doubt he is the better leaper. It is also common knowledge that Western and Central African genepool is superior to other regional genepools in terms of sprint and even more in terms of leap.

Chelsea have scouted Vitesse Arnhem star Wilfried Bony and are prepared to hijack West Ham's £12 million move for the striker. (The Sun)

I know its the sun but still...........

If we didn't sign Ba..then having Lukaku and Bony as strikers would of been awesome.

Never saw him in the Eredivisie, I saw him in the African Cup of Nations 2013, nothing special, he is quick, good shot, nothing more.If someone could here please tell me if he has a good technique, if he could dribble defenders and score or rely more on his speed, a Daniel Sturridge type of player or more physical ? Can he play the 'pivot' role or play just behind the striker in a 4-4-1-1.

Hasn't almost every (already an exaggeration) prolific/top scorer in the Eredivisie failed once moving to a bigger league?

Suarez and RVP are not doing bad i think.

Chelsea where linked with him in the winter and we got Ba.

Ba, is ok but I would not mind someone like him.
