We cant ship him out unless we get him replaced, I don't rate him particularly to be honest but maybe Pep can bring the best out of him, after all, he competing for a place in the team against God himself...!

We need to sell him, im not a boo boy or anything but he needs to be a first choice striker to rediscover his best form and he simply wont be here. Aguero is our first choice by a mile, I cant imagine pep will play two up top and kelichi needs the minutes to continue his development, when jesus arrives in January bony will effectively become 4th choice.

I am pretty sure that Bony will do well for a club that values him and plays to his strengths. He started off with the fans backing, and lost it, but then he had all kinds of difficulties to contend with....African Cup of Nations, injury, Malaria, no regular run. His confidence has gone, but if he was back at Swansea he'd be one of the top goal scorers in the country. If Everton are looking at him, then they'd do very well to buy him. There's a whole group of clubs looking to challenge the top 6 where he'd be a great buy, but wages might be an issue.
I wouldn't mind if he stayed. I think he will be much better after a full pre-season and under Guardiola's coaching. If he goes, we would need a replacement.
Think you're spot on with the problems Bony has faced since he signed. Sometimes for a variety of reasons a move just doesn't work out, but it doesn't make him a bad player. For what it's worth, I agree that if he stays I think his performances would be better as he's had a full pre season and with Pep in charge.
If he goes, good luck to him, it can't be easy when you get an opportunity to play at a higher level and it doesn't work out. Just hope he doesn't become one of those former players that always ends up scoring against us!

I was thinking more of his lack of mobility, at Swansea he would often pick up the ball a little deeper and run at defenders, there was no real sign of that last season.Swansea fans always said he was never a clinical finisher. At our leverl, you have to be able to take that one good chance that comes at you. H simply can't do that.

Bony better than Lukaku? Do me a fucking favour.
Lukaku might be raw in terms of first touch and hold up but he's a proven Prem goalscorer.
Bony is just shit.

Said this before but our "deadwood" can be someone else's solution.
Bony, Mangala, Nasri etc are fine players but they just need a change to bring the quality out of them. All PL teams have money in their pocket and their fans expect them to spend it now that the season is about to start and the closing of the transfer window will follow close behind.
Absolutely. Sadly, we have fans who are too immature to see this

The same idiots who want us to give him away will be wondering why we let him go when he scores for fun in a different system (probably against us).
Probably. As you say, idiots

Why?I can't believe anybody would be crazy enough to pay > £15m for Bony.
