Huw Jenkins:
"Wilfried Bony is a fantastic professional.
"If a top Champions League club comes in, and puts the right offer on the table, then of course we will speak to him.
"There are no issues with Bony. He's a great guy to have around the club.
"As much as we want players to stay with us for a number of years, we have to be open."
Macca on the transfer rumours site says that we're in for Bony now after the Remy debacle.

25 goals last season alone. Carroll's scored 31 since 2010. And that included his half season at Newcastle before us.
Bony is a far more well rounded footballer. He can play.
Bony and Shaqiri and finally get a decent left back in, and I'm happy
From what I've seen of Bony he's also excellent at bringing other players into the game as well. Seems to drop deep quite a lot. With the pace around him that could be an extremely useful trait.
Would be a good bit of business by Chelsea; sell a player for whom you have no need for a high fee (similar to the sale of Mata to the skanks).
On a side note, the equivalent thread to this on RAWK is locked pretty much every day - along with other pretty relevant topics. What the hell is wrong with those idiot moderators, treating it like a playschool. And why do the active posters put up with it??
b/c they don't know about SCM ... bring them over mate.
I didnt think Lambert was "good at having the ball hoofed up to him and holding it up for other players". Having said that I thought there was more to Bony's game than that as well. Certainly from what I saw of him at Anfield in February, there was. Swansea dont play hoofball
Never understood it, tbh i've never understood RAWK full stop, all it really does is make the club and fans look like cunts.
Watch his compilation videos, he's doing it 90% of the time, so yes.
This seems correct.
A couple of weeks back, I posted excerpts from an analysis on a Swansea fan's blog in the Bony thread. In the article, the author compared the different playing styles under Laudrup and Monk, with the former opting for a more direct game and the latter reverting to a system more closely resembling Rodgers' preferred style of play.
The author suggested that Bony played better after Monk took over, and the stats bear that out - Bony scored 10 of his 17 league goals after Monk took over, and also picked up 4 of his 5 assists in the same period. That's 10 goals + 4 assists in 14 league games under Monk (versus 7 and 1 in 24 games under Laudrup's supposedly more direct system).
Actually I think it would work pretty well with really pacy support around him. Too often when we get it upfield, 1 against 2/3, it's lost before the support arrives. With Sterling, Markovic, Coutinho, Ibe and Lallana there's plenty of pace to take advantage of someone who can hold on to it and then lay it off.
I think Bony and Lambert bring other players in differently. Bony brings others in with his strength and is more of the traditional target man (he's the better header of the ball) and has a nice burst of acceleration on him, though he's not as quick as the likes of Sturridge. Lambert is a bit more unique in that he's a playmaking striker; he was a midfielder turned striker.
Thank you
