Ex-Swansea striker Walsh: Liverpool should've pushed harder for Bony

Former Swansea City striker Ian Walsh says Liverpool should've pushed harder for Wilfried Bony.

Brendan Rodgers' side were strongly linked with the Ivorian before buying Mario Balotelli for £16m from AC Milan.

"It's a big mistake. Bony is on the upward trend and for me there would only be one choice," said Walsh.

"Balotelli has been there, seen it, done it, [but] is he on the downward path now in terms of enthusiasm for the game?

"Bony has adjusted to this level [and] still has the desire to score goals."
