It's a shame that so many are dismissing the mitigating circumstances that have hindered him since his arrival.Bony is a class player. He was the top scorer in the league over the 2014 calendar year, he's strong and powerful and has excellent technique and is an threat outside the box as well as being good in the air. He's completely different to what we had at our disposal and unlike Negredo has scored regularly wherever he's been and knows the league.
He was at the ACON when he first joined, was then injured and in a team struggling to find form until the last 6 games. He was then injured again in pre-season and has had off the field issues as well. What he could do with is the support of the fans to help him through this time. You can see he's desperate to score and it's been playing on his mind. He's been trying too hard at times. With the quality of De Bruyne he should have plenty of service over the next few weeks and the goals will come.
Just this page alone makes grim reading.
Hopefully given a sustained run will see him put a few of his detractors back in their boxes for a bit. God help the poor bloke if he doesn't average 2 goals a game...
