What’s the story? This is more like what we expect of Swansea.Does it make sense? Yes. Bony is a real physical threat and capable of putting up big time goalscoring numbers if he finds his feet quickly.Is the price right? It needs to stop climbing here or it will get in to risky territory but it’s good value at this range.Will it happen? 8/10 – It sounded more imminent last week and if Swansea are getting distracted wasting money of Shelvey or worse still Ince, then they might not have enough left.
