I'm not for sale! I would still like to see Bony and Michu in a genuine stroker partnership. But, as Said in a different context: I believe there is some ind of bad blood between the two of Them. Objectively I see Michu as the better -more significant player, a more difficult player to replace. Maybe Shelvey is that player?.
I'm still in Bermuda an very hung over: proud to be posting at all. But what would you guys say: can Shelvey replace Michu?
If you think Michu is a more significant player than Bony then you better get out of the sun down there Mikra...
Provided we get the right CM to play alongside Leon then I can see Jonjo doing that job. But, d prefer Gylfi.
Got a lot of time for Jenkins but the guy has a terrible track record of bullshitting the press and the public with his statements.
Not a chance! Nothing against Jonjo and he'd do a decent job but he doesn't have the pace of Michu, the aerial ability, the work rate, the ability to consistently get in the box and no way will he get 20+ goals in a season. Michu at his best is special. I like Jonjo and he's a good player but special he is not. I'm surprised that this question has been asked. People have such short memories. A look back at Michu's goals might refresh memories - look at his coolness in one on one situations. Add his energy, his enthusiasm, his attitude to those goals and we have/had a player worth every penny of the £20 million people were talking about. Of course last season was a let down but the guy was injured and trying to play through the pain barrier. So we know he had physical problems, then, just as he seemed to be on the way back, the Laudrup situation exploded and he lost the main motivation he had in coming to Swansea in the first place. Now it seems he is moving on and, I for one, will be gutted to see him go because, in my opinion, in just that one season, he proved to be one of the finest players we have ever had. So for me, Jonjo is a fine player and could do a decent job but a Michu he will never be. Just my personal view.
I cant add much more to that Ivor - a season is a long time and people tend to forget what Michu achieved for us in a short time. Last season was a tough and bad one for the lad on a number of fronts and I was looking forward to seeing him firing again this coming season. Sadly that doesn't look as though its going to happen.
And Bony ain't no Michu. I claim that a Michu type of player is more difficult to get. Bony needs to be carried by the team, Michu lifts the team...
Michu to Bony is like apples to oranges, I dont think we could ever replace a on form Michu in that attacking midfielder role but I truly hate that we were forced to play him as the lone striker so much. Bony is a out and out striker. I am still hoping we get to keep Michu and Bony and see them plus Gomis tearing apart some defenses.
