    If Ayew leaves, both :)

    I'd go for Bony though. Safer option as we know he can do it in this league and won't take much time to adjust etc.

    I will probably get lynched for this...but i would prefer Borjan, yes Bony was a great for us...but I feel Borjan is going to be a bigger name for the long term

    Agree here but my concern is how long will it take him to settle etc. If it was done within 48 hours then I'd say Baston.

    It's literally a 52/48 in Bonys favour for me atm.

    Nice to see us finally being linked with this sort of striking quality though.

    Looks like we're testing the waters with Belguim CB Kara Mbodji , get the feeling Williams may eventually go ...probably 15 million by the time the smoke clears .
    I'd take Bony over almost anyone .

    Not me , it's time we moved on there's quicker sharper cheaper younger players out there with a potentially better resale value + we'd still have to buy what ever the difference is between what Citeh want and what they owe us and also we'd still be getting back a player two years older

    I agree with this, the bringing back former players very rarely works, the exception for us of course is Siggy, but other players like Trunds didn't really work despite everything. We go onto other players who has potential, the risk of that though is that most transfers do not work for one reason or another, but the ones that do work far outshine the ones that don't

    Bony is AWESOME ,!!!!!!!!!. He 's the perfect one man strike force , good at set pieces , super first touch and most of all he's a deadeye that doesn't need a lot of chances to score goals ......he knows the scoop with our team ......but...
    He won't come though and that's the bottom line .

    BONY. Bony all day long. Anything else is a compromise in my eyes.

    He's been a failure at Man City though, so a season and a half with a whimper, I'm not convinced he's up to the job, and I'm almost certain he doesn't want to come back here. I'd rather go for this guy from Madrid than him I must admit.

    I'll take anyone at this point .The reason Bony's name comes up a lot is because of his availability , his expierence with us and our success with him ..
    I just think we want Bony , Man City want us to have him ( if the right deal ) , but Bony would rather go elsewhere .
    .....seems almost all strikers leave us with a bit of resentment , oddest thing .
    I'm past Bony coming to us , a long time ago , But a question was asked about Bony or ....so I answered .
    I am though , very excited about Llorente .Good player, good price , medium grade .
    Hey !!...it's a striker .

    I don't think we'll go for bony TBH I can see our striking force this coming season being too start;

    Llorente (first choice)
    Baston (2nd option)

    Then if Llorente doesn't perform then Baston will step in. I think this because Llorente is a senior player who is coming to us for more game time. Also, Llorente is good at holding the ball as a target man allowing Siggy and wingers to come into play higher up the pitch (bony role). Its unfair to criticise Llorente last season as he didn't get many starts and he's not the type of player that has an immediate impact. (Quick, attacking type)

    I think we need Baston otherwise we only have 1 proper striker.. If we don't get him, Ayew will stay. If Ayew leaves, we'll get him I think.
    We could have a very exciting season if we sign these two AND keep Ayew.

    Bony would be ok but if we can find better then that's ok......I find bony lazy and slow and that worked for us last time but he never looked anywhere near a good player for man city and he may not be good enough for us now with Guildo the boss. He has certainly gone down in many clubs estimation as nobody big wants him as he did not look like a top striker when he did play for man city.......New blood is the best option i think on this occasion and forget about bony.....
