Player Topic: Wilfried Bony (2015/16)

[richards30]

With the club wanting to win the champions league asap if we went into the champions league final and Sergio was injured would anyone be confident that wilf would fire us to glory?..........no me neither! Hasn't and doesn't look like it will work out here for him and he is most definitely not a pep type player

I think flb was talking about me not having as many brownie points as him on this site.

Ahhh I see

For me this is his worst fault, the number of times we got players free down the wings, be it Sterling, KdB or Kolarov, and Bony seemed to have no idea when or where to make his runs, he's a striker FFS. The period after the missed pen was embarrassing, I even started to feel sorry for him, every touch or pass was a mistake.

The best thing a striker can do when we are attacking is to attack space. Then if he does that consistently the guy in possession will find him...if he is able to pass...yes thats you im talking too Mr Navas ☺☺

Well you've got a short memory then, 8+ years ago we could have done with a player like him.

Benjani 8 years ago. 4 goals in 23 appearances

Bony 6 goals in 25 appearances

I don't think we were that excited about him at the time ;)

I don't like Bony, but Bony likes Bony and his footballing style that has suited him down the years.

I think he believes he should persist with this style and it will come good.

He's languid and chilled.

We want someone who wants to bury the ball, like Aguero does, like Iheanacho does.

Bury the fooker, that's what we want.

Thought he played well today excepting a couple of bad misses. Scored, we won and Aguero fresh for Leicester.

When you compare him to the second best striker in our history, of course Wilfried would come out unfavourably.





January return for Jo?

He just isn't very clever, I suspect. Quick thinking is not his strong point. The exact opposite of Negredo in his first 6 months.

He'd have to be good to hit him off the bench

We had one, Phillipe Caciedo but he didn't fit the system either but found a good level - the level Bony belongs at ie not here
