Regardless of the validity of this article, Bony would be a better option

Not impressed at Bony's showing at the world cup so far.

History has shown that buying a player based on World Cup form is often a hiding to nothing. And Bony is a very astute striker.

Convincing article once again by the Mail.
Interviews quotes the whole lot.
Average 10yr old Spurs fan could have written this.
Perhaps they did.

personally I would take Bony over Lukaku

Though we lose him to the African cup for a month in January. And Adebayor!

Loan player as cover? From MLS maybe? Like Dempsey or Defoe?

I think the big lesson of last summer is that PL experience is what matters, that seemed to have been Poch's advantage over FdB. Bony has proved himself in the PL, and is a much better price than Lukaku who is overpriced at £32m - heck, we could get Bony (£19m) AND Remy (£8m) for less than Lukaku - that means we could offload Soldado.

Guess a big part of this is whether Poch will want to play with 1 or 2 strikers. If it's 1 then we can only really have 3 out-and-out strikers at the club, which makes absence for injury/suspension/ACN etc all the more pronounced and certainly we couldn't lose 2 players for ACN in that case.

The solution would be to get a player that can play on the wing and up front (much like Dempsey, Walcott or Kewell can/could) to give us that flexibility and we need more quality on the flanks anyway.

Would prefer to go based on his showing in the Prem last season personally

I want Bony and Lukaku. Straight swap, both for Harry Kane.

 

[Jadon Benjamin]

Well, like many folks here believe, when the AFCON starts, we'll once again be sitting with no strikers. Although he is good, not what we need.

How does that work, Chelsea get him in the week and Swansea at weekends?

Kane will be adequate back-up for a few games.

I said last summer that I thought we should have went for him at £12m rather than spend what we did on Soldado and unfortunately I was right. Still think Soldado can prove all his doubters wrong and become a success but would love to see us sign Bony.

Just to buck the trend, I'd much rather Lukaku than Bony. Personally I think his ceiling is higher, he's more proven (i.e. done it for more than 1 season in the Prem), we don't have the problem of him going off to the ACN and he'll also presumably integrate well with our existing Belgian contingent.

But not at £32M surely.

But not at £32M surely.

They will need to sell him and no team would pay £32m for him.

If Jose has any sense he'll bin Torres and have Lukaku in his squad instead.
