Liverpool's impending signature of QPR's French striker means it's almost definite that Bony will start this season a Swan
There I was, thinking how quiet today was in terms of Swansea news, and then some news came about which actually made the day even more sedate. Loic Remy looks set to sign for Liverpool, and despite the Anfield club's undoubted current financial resources I can't see them taking on Remy AND Bony. Or trying to, anyway.
Bony and his agent have repeated the same line whenever they've been asked what the future holds; that he's happy at Swansea and unless it was a big, big club there isn't really any point in moving. Tottenham are such a club, but their lack of Champions League football, plus the likelihood Bony wouldn't enjoy such preference in terms of being "first choice striker", means I've never really been too worried about Spurs' interest in the Ivorian.
Liverpool were always the club I worried about, and now it seems I don't have to any more. Thank you Loic Remy! Bony was such an obvious addition to Rodgers' system, and is such a good spearhead for a 4-2-3-1/4-3-3 attack that it did, sadly, make sense to me that he could end up going there, but the availability of Remy for less than £10million was always going to be hard to ignore. Bony would cost a lot more than that, and Remy will probably score as near as damnit the same amount of goals. It's a tidy bit of business by Liverpool.
Hopefully this will be the end of the Bony speculation, and he can concentrate on getting himself ready to smash loads of goals in for the Swans this season.
