Definitely not. Michu wears that crown .

Only if you ignore Michu not being a striker.

Wilf is still the best striker I've ever seen play for the club. No matter what I can't hold his second spell against him.

For me too, Wilf was an absolute beast and that calendar year he had where he was top goal scorer through all the big leagues he was up there with the best in the world. Michu was sensational from midfield but Wilf was on another level as a pure out and out striker.

Aye. He played his best football ghosting into the box from slightly deeper. As a partnership they could have been something special.

I've never seen a more physically dominant striker, apart from Duncan Ferguson perhaps. There was no way a centre back was going to nick the ball off Bony.

He could hit the ball so hard from tight spaces too, defenders had no chance. He scored a rocket against QPR with no backlift at all, incredible power and strength.

One of the few players I know who could hit the ball as hard with his head as with his boot

 

[bytholwyn]

I loved his understated celebrations. Almost as if he was saying - of course I've scored, what did you expect?

 

[Baron Goblet]

Waddle and Trundle would have been a good pairing

Bony and Scotland would have been too

 

[bakajack]

Not convinced on the Bony/Scotland pairing
Neither was particularly mobile and both excelled at playing the target man and bringing others into play

Bob Latchford was no longer quite at his peak when he joined us but he was still a tremendous all round, top division centre forward.
It's very difficult to compare different eras but for me he's the best striker I've ever seen in a Swans shirt.

Yes, me too, especially, as you say he was in decline.

Mind you, looking at those you tube Bony goals, some are incredible.

The final one in that sequence against QPR is the one I was thinking of earlier. Flew off his boot with no backlift, what a player. Nice to JdG sticking it in his noggin there too, what a player and what a team.

Bony had an incredible understanding with JdG

I remember one assist he gave to de Guzman where he received the ball, held off a defender who looked like he may as well have tried to outmuscle a house before playing a backheel through the defenders legs for JdG to run clean through on goal
