I think he would blend well and help in the final third. He's a light weight, Mirallas type, only he has peripheral vision, he will pass and find his man. He can mix his tempo and will attack the goal. I'd welcome him as somewhat more refined.

He'd be a brilliant signing. He's quick, skillful and can score a goal or two.

Hamstrings made of Haribo.

Gonna be an interesting summer.

Roberto has had a full season to assess the first team squad and the reserves.

I hope to see a few cheap gems come in from La Liga or Central/South America, as well as perhaps a renewal of Deulofeus' loan. I suspect we'll also see a top quality signing in the £15M bracket.

I'm holding out for our links with a Messi / Ronaldo double swoop just around ST renewal time. We'll end up with Andy Johnson on loan!

Our recent transfer dealings (January) excite me as much as John Spencer, Mitch Ward and Alec Cleland did.

For me we need to raid the team we played last Sat and the team we play on Sat, Marshall, Bony, Michu and throw in Colback we would be in very good shape for next year.

Kevin.. Moyes had Bony watched 14+ times whilst our manager.

Watched Bony a few times this season Kieran, he’s top draw and should be at a big club, OFM should have pulled the trigger, hopefully Martinez does.

Michu is too old.

Generally we need to be signing players 25 or under to preserve the resale value. Age is the main reason we got the fees we did for Jela & Vic.

Kevin why is Bony OFMs fault? Wasn’t he bought by Swansea during Martinez’s tenure?

In retrospect a few extra mill on Bony instead of Kone would have been a much better move and who knows where those extra goals may have put us this season. Retrospect is easy though. Let’s hope we get the right striker this summer and that Kone gives some value for the £6M we spent on him.

It will be interesting to see Kone when he returns; in the brief outings he had he showed all the mobility of a mannequin. The mannequin was better in the air though.

It has been a weird season: equally uplifting and frustrating... converting even half the chances we create and it would be a goal-fest.

It is nice to see us playing football again even if it can occasionally be pedestrian.

Sam, Bony only went to Swansea last year.

Oh, sorry, I see what you mean: Martinez's tenure at Everton; I thought you meant his tenure at Swansea.

Bobby, Michu is 27, how is that too old? Won’t happen but I’d love to see him and Bony playing up front for us next year.

James (732), Kone was never healthy this season. The Kone who blew past Heitinga and beat Howard last season was no mannequin. I still rate him.

This sounds good. We need to add strikers that are strikers and score goals, at least two. No need for more creative passers in the attacking area. We also need a really good central midfielder with a brain, vision and two good feet. And at last we need two more defenders. One central with excellent positioning and calmness and one back-up for Coleman.
