:lol: i saw your post before you deleted it so it will still go down as another prized plonker post :lol:

Alan Tate has played in goals for us on more than one occasion too, doesnt make him a goalkeeper. Giggs has played up front for Man United, hes no striker.

Michu is a central midfielder my son. Now stop digging. :thumbright:


So why have the dreamteam got him as a striker? And I'll ask again, why does michu playing up front on his own? So Swansea play with no strikers when michu is on his own, am I correct? :laughing6:

And i will answer again. Alan Tate has played on goals for us on more than one occasion. Giggs has played up front for man united on more than one occasion.

Are you trying to tell me that Alan Tate is actually a goalkeeper and Giggs is a striker?

Michu was forced to play out of position for the back end of last season (funnily enough about the time his goals dried up a little, probably due to the fact hes a midfielder) due to our failure to replace Danny Graham in the transfer window as it seems a michu played up top was better than an actual striker schecter. It doesnt make him a striker however.

Hes 27 years old and played out of position as a striker for 4 months. Now stop being a tit :thumbup:

Michu was bought as a midfielder from Spain, but he's played the majority of his Swansea career as a striker.

As for bony... Waste of money from what I've seen. His Europa league goals against inferior opposition are currently masking his lack of premiership goals.

Back on topic:

Heard some fantastic things about Bony before he arrived here and I saw a few clips of him. Looked superb and his record speaks for itself in Holland. However, I have been very disappointed (Or happy, depending how you look at it) so far. Very sluggish and very slow. Some of his touches are heavy and often loses the ball for you. At the moment he's not shown me anything near to a £13m striker.

In his defence though with players like him it may take a while to adjust to the style of play, could easily turn it round but can't see it at the moment.

No he hasnt. Your knowledge holds no bounds it seems.

He filled a hole up front after the departure of Graham at the back end of last season. That doesnt make him a striker you pleb :D

From what I remember, he was playing in front of Graham in the first half of the season as Graham was benched (part of the reason why he looked elsewhere for first team football).

The majority of games I've seen michu play, he's been up front.

Re: Wilfred bony

Thu Oct 24, 2013 9:25 pm

Michu is an attacking midfielder who has played up front for us due to a lack of other options better than him. He is not primarily a striker, as he states himself in this interview:

Then you must have seen him in the main the back end of last season, simple as that.

Graham played 18 times prior to his departure that season. schechter also got game time inexplicably. He was probably playing up front for a third of a season and a third of a season where he was notably worse as a result.

A third of a season to cover a gap over the course of a 9 year career doesnt make him a striker. Hes a midfielder, which is why we bought Bony.

Spend 12m on a striker and play an attacking midfielder upfront instead of him.

Seems Laudrups not all that convinced yet himself.

Roathie claims Bony only started 4 of the 8 league games.

Who was upfront for the other 4? Lee Trundle?

When Bony has not started it has usually been due to coming off an international break when he's been away with Ivory Coast, not because we're selecting Michu up front ahead of him.

Did my own research. 10 league starts so probably only half the games available up to the point he left. So who was up front for most of the season?

Bony has been injured, its not choosing him over Bony.

Michu is an excellent footballer, he could probably fill a gap on the wing too. Wouldnt make him a winger though would it?

He is a midfieler. He has said so himself, the manager has said so, hes played as a midfielder the overwhelming majority of his career.

The issue was started by Bobby who in order to squirm out of the fact he got both players positions wrong, decided to atick with the fact Michu was a striker. Wich he isnt, clearly. :thumbup:

So Michu has started as many league games upfront for you this season as he has in attacking midfield?

That has been explained. Schechter was crap and we failed to get a replacement for Danny Graham who was experiencing major personal problems with his weight, fitness and addictions.

Im amazed this is even being debated.

Just so i can bookmark.

Are you suggesting it is your opinion that Michu is a striker :laughing6:

Or that he is of sufficient ability that he can play there if really needed? That is what seems to be the current paradox confusing many, to what must be said, an amusing standard :D

Indeed. You seem to think that makes him a striker though. It doesn't.

It makes him the best available option for when Bony isn't fit to start. Although recently Bony has been starting on a regular basis.

Michu may have been bought as a midfielder but it turns out he's probably going to be the best striker Swansea have had in recent history.

He is an AM who has been playing striker. He is not a CM as youve suggested either.

He also playeed majority of his Swansea games as a striker I dont know why your arguing that point.
