Stevan who?: Forget Jovetic, this could be Arsenal’s own ‘Drogba’
Fiorentina’s Stevan Jovetic – who could be too expensive anyway – has stolen much of the Gunners’ attention but Vitesse’s Ivorian frontman may cost less and still produce more goals.
His name is Wilfried Bony, last season’s top scorer of the Dutch Eredivisie with an astonishing 31 goals.
That number cannot be taken too lightly, but if it is not just about the numbers and seeing is believing to you, then here was every single goal Bony scored in the campaign that just ended.

1. He looks older than Obafemi “18 years old for 10 years” Martins
2. He looks like he’s got a belly on him
3. Dirk Kuyt
4. Are we even linked to him???
1. Whether he looks older than my great grandfather or Martins doesn’t matter as much as him banging in the goals.
2. Where is the Belly you saw?
3. Only thing he has in common with Kuyt is experience of playing in the Dutch league
4. He actually has been linked to Arsenal but he doesn’t have to be (Eduardo and Koscielny were never ‘linked’ to us for so long before being signed)
I actually don’t rate this guy too highly but those are not the reasons why.
I like these guy and have seen him played Games he is one of the player we really need but it only depend on wenger and also if the cash will be given to him
we should go for this ivorians
GET HIM
Dont forget Jovetic, isthen you will forget jovetic then forget Higu and buy Bony. Arsenal need jovetic and one shap stiker, one center back and right back
Haha, I agree with Franny, def.got a beer belly on him! Also, a lot of tap ins and penalties, not many goals where he beats the last defender, a few but not enough to convince me that he’d survive in the Prem. What’s the point when there’s Benteke who is just raw talent? I just don’t see it personally….
Don’t rate him, he’s doesn’t look very athletic or agile. We need Jovetic or Higuain proven qaulity not this wild looking jungle man. Olivier Giroud will prove his worth next season, watch this space…
I agree with you but let that be the last time you make such racist remarks here.
Look at the options open to us! Yes we could sign this guy extremely easily, but what about the possibility of Higuain?! He is a disgusting talent! Not sure about Jetovic….£30m for 12 goals? no ff’ing way! Benteke is prem-ready and a beast +can score tap ins, make runs n score, all sorts! up to £18-20m? yes please! This guy you’ve watched in the clip might be calm in front of goal, but what about away to stoke, norwich, southampton etc? I just think he looks rather un-athletic like, as someone earlier commented
woah, jungle man? err…ok. I don’t rate this guy when there is Higuain. I mean…just check out the youtube videos (yes, they can make anyone look good other than Chamakh), they’re all spectacular, ridiculous, nut-megs and all, goals! I’d be happy to pay £20m+ or him, although I’d settle for £19 m 😉 Giroud will only get better when he has competition. When he’s come on as a sub, he’s looked pretty lively (Newcastle game, looked decent!) and fresh. I hate relying on him though
See, benteke played in a simular league before joining villa and his goslscoring record was average. But bonys is outstanding and should thrive in prem. bony has fair pace and good finisher+ one touch. He would do very well!
Look at his goals, he looks like he’s playing a Sunday league match! Looks so casual, no challenge, just really poor defending. He may have played in a similar league but Benteke has actually scored 19goals in the Prem, so he’s gone through his ‘bedding-in’ period. I hate when we buy players who take ages to adjust (er..Giroud?lol), means our season just starts off slowly. The guy above also looks like he eats too many pork pies..
Now show me the goals he missed… lol. He bangs in the goals and have strength, but something about him doesn’t convince me? He could be good though. He’s not tall like Drogba.
He looks calm in front of goal and would make a 2nd or 3rd option ST. I am undecided, just because we already have Diroud. I have to see more of him. Is he fast? Can he create his own chances?
He is a strong commanding figure in from of goal. Very composed and doesn’t flail away wildly like Giroud and others. In my opinion he would score bags of goals in the EPL.
Rooney and benteke and we are set for cl and pl double.
at least it shows he can score with his head and also has a calmness in front of goal that only the best natural strikers have. Noticed a few little dummies in there to beat the defence too…..
@SunnyGunner… That’s what it looks like in the eredivisie. These defenders looks slow and not strong. The Perm will be different. He will be going up against stronger and faster defenders and will have to create his own goal. He won’t be give that much space. One thin he has and we need is his eye for goal and won’t hesitate to shoot from outside.
Arsenal will not sign any of this players making headlines to be joining Arsenal this, since I knew Arsenal we’ve never signed any player who have been linked with Arsenal, the way I knew Wenger he liked to send wrong signal and hides his card close to him, when you are busy perusing the file of a certain player or players he is busy bargaining somewhere else and before you know it, the deal is already done.Who knew about Yaya Sonoga? Who knew Nasri will be the one to join Arsenal and not Artem Ben Arfa! So let stop speculating and wait for Wenger surprise.
Why did Wenger let S.Kalou go on a free transfer despite being die hard Arsenal fan and openly show his admiration to play for Arsenal? Kalou was goal scoring machine but wasted by chelski? Ryan Babel also ready to chose arsenal over any other club but Wenger made no efforts to enquire abt him while he still playing for Ajax, he ended up being wasted at liverpool.
Wee neend jovetic
The eredevise is definitely NOT the EPL but he does remind me of a fox-in-the box player we once had. If he could play against tougher,tighter and harder English defenses and survive getting kicked off the park while the referees looked the other way, he might be a good prospect.
But we could get both of them nw, afteall i don’t think 3 strikers ar 2 much 4 a team!
One thing that we know about Wenger, he does not like stocky players. A bit misguided when a number of players we have are a bit brittle. They look nice in the shirt and photographs, but the best part of the season is spent in surgery. It is not about looking nice and making nice circles around the box, but about getting the ball in the net if the new goal is about winning trophies.
One question – which player would get the job done? Forget about the family album!
RVP, Robben, Van Der Vaart, Huntelaar, Van Nistelrooy, Suarez, Zlatan Ibrahimovic all played in the so called Dutch League and all turned out to be pretty good players, wouldn’ t you agree. Based on that and the fact that Bony scored more than a goal a game, suggests he would be a good signing
Attention!Mr Wenger come and get this MAN Wifred Bony from Dutch League club Vittese..bring him to Emirates for medical before seeing him join our rival team.He’s calm,strong with his foot and score beautiful aerial goals too..Bring him on Wenger !!
hello mr wenger,pls bring in bony wilfreid to the squad,he is a good finisher,we wants him at arsenal,he can bring the trophy back to the emirate,pls wenger do this for the fans,we need him,arsenal is a great club with a good spirit so why let us down,let proof we are better than the rivals,
Up arsenal………………till i die
bring them in
pls we need bony and jovetic
Forget it, Arsenal currently do need to turn a carbon into diamond, what we need now is the diamond. Bony is just an ok player and 31 goals in that league does carry some weight but not justify-able. Rather then Bony I would prefer to stick Podolski there. Plus if the news of the player linked are right I believe that Arsenal do not need Jovetic, Jovetic only needed unless we already secure or fail to get Higuain.
What’s worried me is that podolski hasn’t improved when left out of the team. Competition brings out the best in most players like gervinho and giroud. This bony guy is alright but I’m fed up of players needing to bed in all the time, we need quality goal scoring players n we need them right now! I’d prefer higuain alone instead of jeyovic and bony. And his belly is under his chin ! Haha
There will be absolutely no excuse for Arsene Wenger not to spend huge this summer. He is already irritated by Stevan Jovetic’s price tag?! With all the sponsorship deals the club have and the BPL tv money, plus the heartaches suffered by the fans this past season, Wenger must spend this time!
get that chap immediately
Erestidivisie, not quality?
Bergkamp, Kanu, Van Persie, nuff said…
first and foemost, this guy is a better goal getter than giroud, poldi and walcot.. am not saying this for nothing… he has all what it takes to give us the premier league….
BODY STRENGTH, FIRST TIME STRIKE, A GREAT LINE BREAKER YOU WILL THINK HE IS OFF SIDE, BUT SORRY…,SHOOTS FROM OUTSIDE THE BOX… ATTACKS LOOSE BALLS WITH WICKED FIRST TIME SHOTS… RESTLESS IN THE BOX AND THAT IS VERY ANNOYNING FOR DEFENDERS TO DEAL WITH BECAUSE HE IS ALSO STRONG… CAALM ON ONE VI ONE OCCASIONS, JUST PICKS HIS SPOT,, DOES NOT BOTHER TO ROUND THE GOAL KEEPER.. JUST REMINDS ME OF PELE.. NATURAL OLD TIME FINISHER…
PLEASE WENGER GET THIS “BEAST CUM GOAL MACHINE” FOR US
Could say the same about the French U14’s league where Henry, Vieira, Diaby etc have all played, doesn’t mean it’s a great league ;-p ha, ok overly-exaggerated example. But these great players became great after they left. Yes they had talent and hit the Dutch headlines, but they only became superstars when they came to the Prem/Serie A etc. Erestidivisie is one boring league, some moment of hilarity (Suarez biting a player’s arm) and some moments of genius (Ibrahimovic, mad skills) but it’s really not a great league (ex-England manager Steve McLaren somehow doing well)
Who remembers Alfonso Alves? Top scorer in the Dutch League a few seasons ago, went to Middlesborough and flopped. Not saying this guy would flop too but I’m saying don’t base it on his goal record in Holland.
Better than Walcott? LOL. Right, first thing is first, all the players you mentioned (Mr Eagle eye) now have Premiership experience and goals, where as this guy does not. Have you seen the Dutch games? Championship games are more entertaining(No offence to the Championship, we’ve seen from the scrap for promotion how good it can be…) ! I honestly cannot judge from this video if I am going to be objective here. But to say he’s better than Walcott at finishing ? Walcott scored the fastest goal of the season, been scoring a lot of early goals this season come to mention it and he loves to put pressure on the defenders, that chance against Newcastle (hitting the post), quality. Look at the ‘options’ apparently open to us – Higuain, Jetovic, this guy, I mean….why are we bleating on about him? Top striker from La Liga/Madrid vs top striker from Dutch league?……
