According to Wikipedia he is a Jack. It says in his profile 'Current club: Swansea City' now this is Wiki so it's as reliable as a 30 year old Skoda but perhaps someone in the know has updated it prematurely?
HOPE THIS BECOMES TRUE AND SHUTS UP THE NAY SAYERS. I still recon nothing concrete will happen til Monday...twitchy bum time! All together to the tune of Mony, Mony.. Here he comes now it's Wilfried Bony! BONY, BONY BONY, BONY..
The sticking point is the salary apparently : http://wilfriedbony.info/2013/06/27/wilfried-bony-salary-demands-too-high-for-swansea/
http://www1.skysports.com/football/...nsfer-News-Wilfried-Bony-keen-on-Swansea-move Sky have quotes saying this guy really wants to join us.
He's an unbelievable signing for you guys. Great player, I've watched him for over a year and a half now. He has everything, power, good football brain, he can head and clinical. Will get you 20 league goals.
Swansea City still hope to wrap up a record-breaking £10.2m move for Vitesse Arnhem striker Wilfried Bony after the Ivory Coast ace admitted he wants to move to the Liberty Stadium. I think it's anytime soon now!
The hold up could be another case of the greedy agent. In this case it's Gilbert Francis Kacou who appears to be pulling the strings.
This is his theme song: [video=youtube;pabW5qTlqwQ]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pabW5qTlqwQ[/video]
This transfer rumour is gathering some momentum nicely, would like to say what I know on this one, but I'm afraid there is no way I'm going to get into Norway's hot water shoes! So all I will say is welcome 'Jace the ace MKII'.......................
I will be performing cartwheels if this comes off. I know some Arsenal fans that are crying over this signing
Vitesse Arnhem striker Wilfried Bony is close to joining Swansea City according to his agent. The 24-year old Ivory Coast international has dominated Dutch football for the past few seasons and is now on the verge of a £10.2million move to the Liberty Stadium. “Bony will go to Swansea,” his agent Francis Kacou told Dutch newspaper de Gelderlander. “For how many years? We still have to work out that part. Hopefully more will be clear today Howzat!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Bony was last season with 31 goals scorer in the league. The 24-year-old international will now make a step. "I'm ready. Swansea is an ideal club for me. I really want to play in the Premier League. And I do not sit on the couch. At Swansea I am sure a lot of playing time. Also the football that Swansea play, suits me. " from that Dutch paper de gelenwhatever
Let's abduct the guy. Just to make sure like. I'll get the rope and the van sorted, PGF and Neveroff go find some balaclavas. ....With the eyes cut out this time....
For the record, I really rate the guy. He is a beast and he will be a immense singing if it happens. But he is a target man kind of player, not suitable for counter attacking or long balls. And as Swansea usually play neither, I'd say he could fit the playing style of Laudrup. Just don't expect him to run box to box with the ball Christiano Ronaldo or Messi style. I hope this clears it a bit.
