What’s the story? Bony’s combination of speed and strength allied to goal getting makes him of real interest to plenty of clubs.Does it make sense? Yes. The three Premier League clubs need a striker desperately. Newcastle seem to have alienated Papiss Cisse, Everton need a consistent goal getter and Swansea want to move Michu back to his old position behind a striker. He looks like an ideal build for the Premier League.Is the price right? £12m is fair. There could be some worry about recent Eredivisie flops but Bony is a different proposition physically.Will it happen? 7/10 – He comes to England.
