Wishlist Wilfried Bony

[The Skipper 20,609]

Nah, we can do better. Why sign Bony when we've got better options?

Nah, we can do better. Why sign Bony when we've got better options?

which are?

Schürrle? Remy? More expensive and offer less. At least little we do not already have in Sturridge.

Bony for 8-10m sounds about right. We payed nearly as much for Marin and Bony is by far the better player.

Another great vid. The more I watch him the more I like him as a player. His style is kinda unique, a bit more playful than drogs, but no-nonsense as well. You have to check his runs and moves right before he connects with the ball first time, he is so clever he always knows how to create space for himself in advance, that is why he always has the time to outfox the goalkeeper and make the finish even saver. This player is so versatile, he can link up with Mazacar but could also use some long, precise goals from Lamps (if he stays), which would give as an ultimate new weapon as plan B. Imagine, mazacar have not the best day while we need a goal, we can play with Lamps, Moses and Bony and make some old-fashioned Mourinho-style moves which the opponent will naturally not be used to. I know, he has weaknesses that have to be adressed. Sometimes he is sloppy or has a time off (never a game off, he often does score AND assist but rarely does none of these) and he could move and react even faster in the vicinity of the ball. But technically and physically it is all there. He does not have the same coordination problems as Lukaku and as he is not as tall can be more flexible.

My point is, if we're going to sign a striker, let's sign one that will actually lead the team from the get go... For example a Cavani or Falcao.

Of course that'd mean us moving Fernando on, but I'd rather that than sign a Bony/Schurrle/Remy to be honest. I'd rather wait till the summer and sign a striker that'll overtake as our number one striker for definite.

[BlueLyon 9,359]

How do you know this guy wont be better than Falcao for Chelsea?

I can already see that we will go after big money

player and Bony will go either to Lpool, Newcastle, Arsenal and in second season be on of the best strikers in league.

Just because he is cheap, doesnt mean he is average.

If he continues with scoring goals so fast, he will have more goals than Suarez had wth Ajax three seasons ago. And we all know that Suarez is becoming one of best strikers in the league.

We can't wait till the summer, we have won many games in-spite of Torres but how long can that go on? recently he has even stopped playing well, which used to be his one saving grace for me, and just does nothing for 90 minutes.

And if the Chelsea scouts have seen enough to think Bony is good enough, then i'm fine with that.

What I see in that video is promising, more promising than Lukaku right now. Sign him up Roman! May sound stupid that I'm judging him from a video but his finishing is brilliant, uses strength to knock defenders off balance for some of his goals too. I might watch Vitesse vs Twente tomorrow to see him play.

[GoldChelsea 7]

very good player should be recruited

[OneMoSalah 8,883]

Backwards step IMHO

We need a World Class player not another gamble...

Buy good, buy once

Buy cheap, buy twice..

Same rule applies here - just ask Newcastle?

What do you mean? Remember Newcastle scouts scouted Yohan Cabaye and Pappis Cisse, eventually leading to them being signed for a fee smaller than what they were worth. Going on that their scouts must be very good as Cisse and Cabaye have been very very good for them so I'd imagine by the time they are being linked with Bony he must be a good enough player to lead the line for Newcastle, who are a good team at the moment, with better forwards than we have so surely he'd be worth a punt and good enough for us?

Let's see....

Shevchenko for 30M

Torres for 50M

How did these "world class" striker fare?

[BOSS 372]

We need a hungry player with good skill and good finishing and he is exactly that + he is cheap which is a bonus. I would love to see Bony here.

Cisse has so far been a one season wonder, Cabaye granted is more consistent.

Just don't rate him, would prefer Falcao - price is irrelevant - proven quality is what we need...

But proven quality does not guarantee success. A lot of proven players have gone elsewhere and not done as well.

Really i'd rather gamble with 10m than 60m.

[Muzchap 8,966]

And if he's shit and City sign Falcao who's not?

That's a big fucking gamble!!!

Kudos if it works - look like real fucking chumps if it don't...

Also Demba Ba, who has scored a lot of goals in the last two seasons in the PL.. Ben Arfa, Tiote and Santon too. Their scouting has been very very good. So I'd imagine they see a decent enough player in Bony to rival Cisse and Ba (who are better than Torres and Sturridge) as will our scouts so he'd probably be good enough for us going on that. We'll have to wait though, I don't think we'll buy Falcao due to FFP. If we were going to we'd have bought him in the summer I reckon.

I think Bony could be that player we sign that surprises everyone. If we sign him and he scores at least 10 goals from January on wards I'd be delighted. Especially for the 8-10 million as quoted. Also you're not compared to Drogba unless your good enough.

[Muzchap 8,966]

Fine buy him

As long as we are also buying Falcao I don't really give a fuck..

Heard it here first - he will be a complete waste of money - I'm happy to stand by my comment.

That sums it all up nicely - wont bother again in this thread
