Well Boateng's not world class, I guess that's the real jist. Don't think many anticipated just how quickly Bony would turn into bone idle.

He hasn't changed. I sed before City had signed him that his fitness was an issue and if it wasn't resolved he would decline real fast in the next few years. That can be seen in my history. Even at Swansea you got the impression that he struggled to run. I can't believe the scouts didn't take notice if I am honest.
 
Ha ha went back through the thread to see what started it by the time I caught up it was gone ,the sun does funny things to people

He also thought Boateng was shite and wouldn't amount to anything, and that Bony would prove to be the difference in winning us the league.

So while you should take notice of snippets about transfers, take opinions on players and tactics with a large pinch of salt.

Boateng is still shite, I was also right he would fail to amount to anything at City.

As for Bony, at the time of his signing I did expect him to be the difference that year, having drawn level with Chelsea on New Year's Day, and having seen them mangled at Spurs.

Unfortunately, the league's highest goalscorer over that calendar year decided to then go all the way and win AFCON, then get injured, then contract malaria and he's been chasing his tail ever since.

Right time, wrong player, in hindsight.
 
Say what you want, you're not going to make me feel bad because I don't know about how to win on fifa. :-)
 
Unless Pep changes Kun's position and Kun plays well where he's moved to, this would be such a terrible signing for us.

Aubameyang is a poor footballer but for his finishing.

Aubameyang wouldn't work out wide. He's not going to dribble past a couple players, cutting inside and curling a shot in the top corner. Not saying he hasn't done it before, but his technique sucks and it's not his game.

I`m only interested in how valuable he will be for the team.Last season we lacked a cutting edge in front of goal and certainly in a lot of games insufficient bodies getting into the penalty box.I cannot believe your comment ref his technique sucks and seriously who gives a shit ... his job will be to both score and set up,something I`ve seen plenty off via various videos.
Some people are never satisfied.

Last paragraph is just false.

I beg to disagree . last season , one player for whose fitness I kept on praying for was kun .we look so toothless upfront without him . having another world class striker will give us more depth and will also give us the tactical flexibility of using two strikers upfront . our 14 goal academy kid can be backup to them and learn from them . pep will target both pl and cl and we need depth . remember the dilemma of playing aguero when champions league semifinal and premier league fixtures were piled on and we were playing weekend and midweek .

Dude! Where the hell have you been? Haven't seen a post from you in a while. I see your point in re his technique. HW is not a dribbler, but when he played wide at Ettiete and his first season at Dortmund, he used to just fly past defenders at top speed. Defenders generally backed off when he got the ball. I sense Pep will play him like he played Henry at Barca. Henry too wasn't that great an all round footballer. But he could finish, and had blazing speed. Sure he had more technique than Auba. But comparatively, the gap BTW Henry and the average Barca player, will be greater than the gap BTW Auba and the average City player.

I trust Pep can make it work.
