. I see Slimani link has resurfaced tonight and also Bony from City. I really hope there's some truth in this as they would both be very good additions to efc.

Would like to get bony in soli he's a quality striker plus give rom a kick up the behind if he stays lol.

Agree bony is proven goalscorer in premier league and he was never going to be a regular starter at man city but think he be good signing for us and ronnie does like to play 2 strikers up front at times think bony and ROM if he stays would make good strike duo because bony is good at holding the ball up and that would allow ROM to run in behind plus give ROM some serious proven competition for his place in the side.

Sounds good rom, bone, slimani
Kone, niasse out.

Bony was good at Swansea and had to make the move to city, but aguero was always going to be number one, and bits hard to find form from the bench, I think he'd be a great signing, fingers crossed he comes to us, slimani has a record UN an easier league so is always a gamble but seems to no where the back of the net is and we definitely need that, Rom can stay another year with that competition and we will see just how good Rom is.
{Ed041's Note - I like Bony, problem with city is Aguero is injured a few times a season but as soon as he's fit he goes straight back in. The back up striker will always struggle and get restless.

Kone, Niasse and Rom out.
17 Jul 2016 11:47:09
Think we will only go for slimani if ROM leaves club but defiantly get rid of niasse and kone.
17 Jul 2016 12:36:21
Agree Kone, Niasse out but the thing is having seen them, who the heck is going to buy them unless at a loss to us.

Also the GK rumour I mentioned previously re 19m offer.
Papers reporting 20m for scheimichel.

New look selection of strikers:
- Romelu Lukaku (Obvious starter, if he stays - I think he will)
- Wilfried Bony/ Islam Slimani (One of these. Similar style of player, good to provide genuine competition to Lukaku, an alternative style if we need it, or maybe even to partner Rom up front)
- (New Signing? ) A 'Shane Long', runner type player as Koeman seems to like playing with
- Oumar Niasse (Would still keep him, think he's not been given much of a chance yet)
That'd be ideal.
