Swans And West Ham In Bony Link
You can always tell when the football season is coming to an end because the summer transfer rumours will start and that has happened today with the Swans and West Ham linked with a move for our former striker Wilfried Bony.
Bony was a massive hit for the Swans during his time here before he departed in a club record transfer sale to Manchester City.
The move to the Ethiad Stadium has never worked out for Wilf though and neither has this season's loan move to Stoke where he has scored just twice this season, naturally both of them coming against the Swans back in October.
Bony has been linked with a move to China but according to the Daily Mail he wants to prove again that he could cut it in the Premier League and could be available for a cut price fe of £15m - just over half what the Swans sold him for when he left for Manchester.
The Swans will almost certainly be in the move for a striker this summer with flop Borja Boston set to move on and Fernando Llorente also expected to depart for pastures new and the goals that Bony scored in his last time here will be a factor if we decide to make a move.
It would, you imagine, prove to be a popular move amongst the supporters as well who were huge fans of Bony when he was here first time around

Brave Swans in memorable game at Carrow Road It was a pulsating game to watch and very much one of my favourite away games of the season. The Swans looked an entirely different side to that we saw at Middlesbrough when it is clear a catalyst for commitment was agreed behind the scenes at Swansea City. To a man every player grafted and
wore the shirt with pride. To see the players really acknowledge the Swans support at Carrow Road this afternoon was emotional.
Swansea reject Cullen contract and trigger one year option Liam Cullen has had his request for a new contract dismissed by Swansea City after discussions broke down last week. The lowest paid ‘senior’ player at the club ( he is twenty five) asked for a better contract increasing his £3,500 a week to around £7,000 a week over three years.
Sam Parker hasn’t turned down a new deal, he is willing to negotiate He was a revelation for the Swans for the few games he played this season, and now it emerges Sam Parker has ‘turned down’ a new Swansea City contract. News is thin on the ground, and some of it just incorrect as he looks to involve his representatives in some further negotiations. Plus his current contract runs for two more years.
Swansea City : The vision is clearer, so Jamal Lowe ? There were some worrying moments for the Swans yesterday, on three occasions mistakes from playing out from the back nearly saw the home side score. And is there now a case for Jamal Lowe to be offered a contract at Swansea ?
Leighton James : His own football revolution With the passing of Leighton James yesterday we have a Saturday night treat for football fans, Swans fans and Wales followers the world over. Who can recall the magic boots imposing themselves on clubs throughout Wales and England ?
