Looking at the two stats and heat map there is justification for playing both. Not likely to happen.

You telling me Bony wouldn't score 15 with are team around him ?.

Not saying that. What I am saying is Lukaku did FACT ...

Plus he missed 6 weeks injured.

And the rest of the time he apparently was useless.. so 15 goals for a useless tit in the Prem League not bad going at 21 years of age

Must be awful not being able to read posts properly, tabloid sensationalism at its best right there!!!

Dude , i read your post perfectly well. you said naismith is better than lukaku ... thats as sensational a statement as any on this whole thread. I certainly wasnt expecting anyone to think that let alone admit to thinking that.

Wow, such insight. That must have meant Messi was crap until this World Cup.

So, what are you saying? That Messi hasn't been on a big stage until this World Cup?

No need to apologise. It's not just you that gets the rage about this.

Hmmmm. 10 goals in 23 total appearances for Lukaku; 9 in 25 for Bony. Lukaku has the better conversion rate despite taking less shots per game, but Bony is rated as the stronger finisher?

And Lukaku's heat map comprehensively undermines the argument that he is lazy.

As someone else said in this thread, it would be brilliant if we could loan Rom again AND sign Bony - just sad that we don't have the funds to accomplish this.

Wonder what the figures are for Remy? Do they compare well?

Those stats are only for half the season though.

Lukaku had a much better start to the season than Bony and Bony had a much better end to the season than Lukaku. only showing stats for the first half of the season isn't fair on Bony,
