Player Topic: Wilfried Bony (2014/15)

[grim up north]

I don't think he is a shit player by any stretch I just don't think Pellegrini wanted him but Txiki said tough I'm buying him. It just reeks of Sinclair being bought and Mancini not wanting him so stuck him on the bench and then eventually letting him rot in the reserves. Hopefully once the clown is fired our next manager will get the best out of Bony.

Weird, I seem to recall hearing that Bony was Pellegrini's idea and that he was the one that forced it through? I have no idea where I heard this, but I'm sure I did

Just another tool to beat whoever just insert name

Have you watched him much - I don't mean in his shambolic introductions but before he joined us?

Yes in answer to your Swansea question but only like most do on MOTD as I do not waste my time going out of my way to watch other teams. He was the main forward at Swansea, he never going to be that at City

As i wrote the manager does not want him, hence the fact he only thrown in with about 20 mins to go. Why not play him v Newcastle from the start when that was a chance to get a goal versus a team who are cannon fodder for us at home.

When he comes on he has shown nothing. At Liverpool he was lucky to stay on the park. Yesterday he had one chance which turned out to be a back pass and he has usually got in the way of Kun with his runs/movement.

I can listen to reasoned argument and, sometimes be swayed one way or another. Making shit up to try and strengthen your argument, is rediculous. Go on then. HTF do you know the manager didn't want him?

By not playing him from the start in most games points at that. He has picked Dzeko ahead of him versus Liverpool, Newcastle, Barca and Burnley. This is the same Dzeko he was not picking before we actually bought Bony.

We are going round in circles. You are going to give him time, me I do not think he will cut it for us.

One of us will be right and one wrong. I hope it me as then City have profited.

Not been very good but he was a starter at Swansea not a sub

Looks out of his depth but needs to be given a run of games. If Pelli continues to play 442 bony has to start instead of dzeko who is back to his old self after a great game a couple of weeks ago.

He looks muscle-bound to me. Plus it has to be said that his arse is fucking enormous.

Imagine that arse sitting on Phil Jones' face in a few weeks time.

I saw that claim somewhere too so who knows what the truth is?

 

[Barcon]

What are the odds on his first goal coming from a corner?
I can't comment on whether or not he'll be a success with us, or whether or not he's shit as I haven't seen enough of him personally.
I do think that signing him when we did was completely baffling though. I hope he does start pulling up trees because he's ours now.

If we head out on Wednesday then him and Aguero should be starting each match until the end of the season. Dzeko getting picked ahead of him is embarrassing.
