BenIsLegend 475 Posted January 1, 2013 Share Posted January 1, 2013 I'm sure him going to ACN has something to do with it.Didn't think of that, that will be the reason then Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheCount 146 Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 Anyone know if he is a EPL material?Looked very poor in the AOC, despite have a goal here and there, maybe EPL material but i wudnt say Chelsea material. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magic Lamps 11,692 Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 But you know, when Newcatle buy him, he would thrash us in our next encounter. He will probably be a success in the EPL if he got the ambition to play here, but for him it would be better to join a team where he can be more of a main man. I'd say he is too similar to Ba. Bony has a better technique, passing and is a bit stronger, but Ba is taller, faster, more experienced and just offers more. Provided we get Lukaku back one day, we would have 3 very similar strikers. I'd rather a clever, agile poacher who is also confident on the ball like Agüero.

Blue Gino 377 Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 Bony with a hat trick, something like 21 goals in 20 games. Has looked great today vs Heracles. Jackson Martinez has 20 goals in 19 matches too I believe. It'd be nice if Lukaku gets on a run in form like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It'd be nice if Lukaku gets on a run in form like this. yeah, he is already one of the best strikers in the league and surely should have his place as at least 2nd choice striker here. Would be even better if we do not fuck up as we did with Sturrdige, Situation is pretty similar. But what a deal the lukaku loan has been As for Bony, what a hit his first goal was but it is rather improbable that we will buy him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndersonBLUE 819 Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 Wanted to buy him on my Newcastle save in Football Manager but he chose Swansea, SWANSEA! c'mon Wilfried. He's been immense for them to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OneMoSalah 8,887 Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 Apparently West Ham have agreed a deal for him. Outside of the Boot @OOTB_football4mBREAKING: Voetball International & Daily Mirror reporting that West Ham have agreed a deal to sign highly rated striker- Wilfried Bony.

LondonPride1905 236 Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 Volfswinkel to Norwich and Bony to West Ham. That's the PL for ya. Would never see one of them joining let's say Palermo or Espanyol (prima vista names) if given the chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bjorn Vleminckx was topscorer in 2010-2011, Bulykin came in second, both are pretty average/bad players.The Dutch league is up there with Brazil when it comes to shit defences and the amount of space/time you get on the ball.

Leif 6,006 Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 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.

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.
