Bony is a horny player.

Baseless speculation Iheanacho/Bony

I think if he was staying he would play/use Iheanacho more. The consequences of his work over the next few months will not affect him here.
He may well be lining up Bony for his next club. However if Bony didn't feel he had the trust of MP he would never join him.
I also think that's what he's doing with Clichy (who is out of contract in the summer!). Easily our best left back, but I'm surprised Kolarov hasn't had game time against Villa and Norwich and Kiev to an extent.
I didn't realise that Clichy was in his final year, must have something lined up then.
He's probably just given him his word. He'd rather lose a game, than his word after all. He probably gave demicheles his word too - that's more important than preparing for playing against a quick attack.The ghost of Saddam Hussain could manage us for me as long as he wins sufficient matches. I don't need nice at my football club, I will happily accept a complete twat if it means winning.
The only logical reason I can think of is that Bony has something in his contract that gives him number two status which I find a ridiculous notion but hard to explain otherwise.

Manuel is a coward. Playing Bony is the easy option. He cost a few bob, is a senior player and might get upset if a younger, better player starts ahead of him. Kelechi is young and easy to cast aside. Pellegrini doesnt want to rock the boat.

How close is Bony to Yaya? Upsetting Yaya we know is something Pellers is wary of, we do actually need Yaya to be at his best more than ever right now.Manuel is a coward.

Pellegrini is either a technically inept or he believes Bony will save his job!!!
Wait he already knows he's going so it must be he's technically inept

Iheanachos age divided by his jersey number gives a smaller value than if the same was done with Bony's variables.
To be honest, the more Pellegrini plays Bony the more it looks like he was the one who really wanted the transfer in the first place. He clearly sees something in him that everyone else doesn't, otherwise I have no idea why he insists on playing him in the role he does

I do think Sergio looks a lot more involved when Bony is on the pitch. The way they set up, with Bony as the target man and then Aguero running off him does look good, we see Aguero come deep or go wide and start running at players more.
The problem is basically that Bony isn't good enough, whether his form has deserted him or he never was good enough is another matter, but the guy simply can't do anything right now.
And it's like someone has just knocked him slightly out of sync. He tries some nice interplay - like the attempted backheel to put Aguero in on Sunday. Dzeko would never attempt that, nor would Negredo probably, and if it had come off it would have been brilliant - but instead he tripped over the ball.
Same with his chances - he made a difference because he was actually in the box making runs into the 6 yard box for crosses, which Aguero wasn't, but he just couldn't finish any of the chances.
He tries the right things, he just can't pull them off unfortunately. Maybe Pellegrini thinks it will all click at some point, maybe he's amazing in training and just shits the bed on the big stage.
Whatever it is, it ain't working and he needs to give up. I think he might - remember this time last year when we were saying the same about 442, papers were going mental because we were about to drop out of the top 4, then he switched to 4231 and we won the last 6 straight games to finish 2nd.
