Managing him perfectly
Maybe, but he certainly looks to be our second best striker.

I know what I'm arguing about and we haven't seen anything from Bony that suggests he's worth anywhere near what we paid for him. Iheanacho has hardly had a run and hasn't clocked up near Bony's minutes for the season but the quality is there, it simply isn't for Bony. Point and blank, Iheanacho is a better football player than Bony is. The fact that he isn't starting games and Bony is says everything about our youth policy; there's a reason why guys like Lopes, Suarez, soon to be Denayer are gone and the last youth player that we've produced of any note is Micah Richards.
If you're actually arguing that the price we should have to start big money players solely for the fact that they are big money then I don't know what to say. Sanga wasn't given a chance last season and this season, when he was given a couple of games to start, he was brilliant. Bony has had chances and minutes and hasn't shown a glimpse that he could be a great player for us. When exactly is the cut off point for you? At the end of the season, when he continues his misfiring ways and Iheanacho leaves to a club that actually gives him a shot?
It's ridiculous that Iheanacho, who is the future, doesn't start ahead of Bony, who will be nothing more than a trivia answer in a City based quiz is a couple of years time.
Just me who sees a bit of Jovetic in Iheanacho? I hope his injury record will be nothing like the same and ultimately he will go on to be a better player than Jovetic, but meantime his style of play reminds me of Jovetic.
