Depends on how we want to play.

If we want a proper target man/lone striker - than Bony is probably the best player.

If we want someone to partner with Sturridge, then Mario is the best player.

It's all about styles and God only knows why Rodgers wants to completely change the style. We went from one of the most lethal and quickest attacks to Gerrard and Lambert.

And I'm with Gez on this - I don't want us to sign a target man striker. I want us to buy a player with real energy, pace, intelligence, movement. So many out there instead of targeting mid table PL players.

Borini? <whistle>

What makes you think that Bony can't partner Sturridge, or that Mario would do it better than him?

Bony has spent most of his career as a target man and understands the role, combined with his incredible strength.

Mario has played the best when he's playing as a support striker in a partnership.

EDIT: That's not to say that Bony can't play with a partner. It's just about playing to a player's strengths.

Just being strong and experienced as a target man doesn't mean you can't partner though. From what I've seen of Bony, he's not bad at bringing others into play, laying it off, drawing defenders etc. Not saying that he's the best target out there, just that I could see a partnership with Studge working, at least to a certain degree (obviously not Suarez levels).
 
I really like Bony. He's not like Suarez but he is very neat and creative for his style. He drops deep and makes a lot of great little touches and flicks to forward runners. He'd word brilliantly with Sturridge and Sterling.
 
Bony is a good player, don't get me wrong. I just don't want that style of player in the team. Maybe as a back up.

Plus, we had a chance to sign before he moved to Swansea for around £10m. Now we want to sign him for at least £20m. It's the same with Lovren (even we should never have signed him in the first place).

I rather we steer clear of the English market because there's simply no value there.
 
Who doesn't love Flanno bar Jimmy and MITO :huh:

PS...Babel

PPS... Loved Babbel though
 
In the summer all of the repetative transfer rumours in the press turned out to be true. Moreno, Markovic, Can, Lallana, Lovren and Balotelli were all heavily talk about in the press. The only real surprises were Manquillo and Lambert.

If the same is happening now we may have to prepare ourselves to welcome Jackson Martinez (unless he chooses Spurs).

Lambert was talked about too. Balotelli wasn't all summer, just the last 3-4 weeks
