I have my doubts whether we'll be signing anybody this January, but I'm going to throw a name out to you and ask what you think.

He is Wilfried Bony.

Is he Arsenal class? I think he could be. Any decent striker would score goals in this Arsenal team.

Could you do a similar job to Giroud? Not sure.

However, he's had 4-5 months in the league and is beginning to adapt really well after a stuttering start. For me, this takes out some of the risk and means he can make an impact.

Cost? Probably in the £20m bracket.

Ladies and gents thoughts on Bony? What other striker at another premiership club (not a top club) would you take?

Happy new year one

I wouldve taken Boney in the summer. His record speaks for itself and although it was only the dutch league it's the same league where Suarez got a goal a game average.
Wouldnt be disappointed if we got him this summer.

If we are going for someone from the Premiership then my pick would have to be Loic Remy - quick, strong and can finish also premiership experience aswell! But I have a sneaky suspicion that this Berbatov talk is a smoke screen for something bigger!

Just on the off chance has anyone got a spare ticket for the villa game coming up, I can meet at the ground because I'm from the midlands! Or is there anyone on here who goes to regular games from the midlands (Birmingham area) and I can tag along :)

Hmm I'm not sure, he definitely has the strength, but not sure about quality. Do you think he'd be able to pull off the touches giroud does? Bony does look to be a decent finisher as shown by his performance vs city.
Other strikers from lower down the teams I would consider are: benteke, berahino, g.ramirez maybe, but I believe we should definitely be aiming higher.
