This is the same stupid argument wanker Arsenal and Liverpool fans made for Nasri and Sterling. "Why would he sit on the bench??!?!?!?!!?"

Bony even in terrible form will make 30 appearances this season and would make 20 even if Sergio wasn't made of glass.

There's no such thing as "a bench player" in the modern game for a club challenging on 4 fronts, and certainly doesn't apply to somebody who is the second choice striker with an often injured first choice in front of him.

Above this, there's absolutely no striker in the entire world worth £50m who wouldn't back themselves to snatch the number one spot. They aren't cowards and the reason they're worth £50m is because they both relish and succeed in competition their entire lives/
So in a perfect world we have two agueros up front.
Would any one of them be happy to sit on bench v Seville or
would we play both and lose out in other positions.
If Barcelona only played 2 up front how long would neymar/Suarez stick around
on the bench waiting for someone to get injured.
50m players might not be cowards but one thing they all have is big ego's.
Would not stick around long waiting .

Exactly.

They were only stupid arguments in those instances because neither player was signed to start on the bench.

A 50m player may back themselves to take the shirt but they'd be gone and sold at a loss within 12 months. That or they'd become an Adebayor type influence.
A 50m player isn't going to be placated by early domestic cup games and a run when Aguero is injured.

Why don't you name some players?
 
Four goals in his last six now. Some of his performances still leave a bit to be desired, but there are signs of improvement. I thought he played very well in Sevilla.

It's like none of you have looked at a fixture list for 25 years. Or a Real Madrid or Barcelona squad.

The whole idea of "starting" and "bench" players disappeared a decade ago.

His form isn't the issue, the issue is that he isn't talented enough to lead our line.
 
He led the line very well in what was arguably our best performance ever in Champions League.


The results in games where Bony has started would suggest he's good enough to lead our line. And he's only just getting to full fitness. What's our win percentage when Wilf starts? High enough to win the league is my guess.
