Wilfried Bony 2015/2016 Performances

Good luck trying to defend Bony on here mate, the juries been out, delivered it's verdict, passed sentence, and already had him hung, drawn and quartered. ;)

I have to admit I thought it was a cracking signing when we bought him, because every time I watched him play for Swansea he impressed me. He was the one striker who continually gave Vinny problems even when he was at peak fitness, and I could see him being an excellent foil for Aguero, or to give us the option of resting Sergio. Fair enough, the performance levels haven't been there, so he's copped a lot of justified stick, but I still believe there's a player in there, and it's not beyond the bounds of possibility that we will see that player again, either here under Pep or somewhere else, and I don't believe it's that outlandish an opinion to hold.

I feel the same.
 
Face like a slapped arse syndrome after Aguero came back from injury then just gave up for the rest of the season.......not got the guts for first team footie at a top club, sell ASAP.
 
I've maintained all season that he will be the biggest benefactor from Pep coming in. Pep will use him properly and not ask him to play the same role Aguero does when he's clearly not capable of doing so. I still believe this to be the case if he stays but i'm no longer convinced he'll get an opportunity, i think we eill have been looking for a taker for months now and he will be gone at the first offer we get. Whoever he ends up at, he'll inevitably return to being the striker he was whilst at Swansea.
 
Routinely profligate. Not a single decent game in a City shirt, despite many, many opportunities. Sometimes we do loyalty to a fault.

Ah, the Wilfried Bony mystery. Will we ever get to the bottom of it?
A reflex striker is roughly 80% instinct and intuition, roughly 20% reflection on what he’s doing. If he loses confidence in his instincts, he loses most of his game. That appears to be what happened to Bony. He must have had something, prior to coming to us. I myself had high hopes for him, I don’t deny it.
I just do not believe that he has always been the clueless, ineffective player that he has so often looked for us.
The real question at this point though is, can whatever qualities he may have had be saved? Or rather, revived, under a different regime? Is it worth persevering? My gut feeling is that Pep will take one look at this guy and say to himself, “You’re for the bench, matey. At best.” But just for the hell of it, I’d kind of like to see him get a few months grace, just to see if Pep can get anything out of him.

Its unlikely that we will sell him until after the CL qualifiers so he should get 2 months of pre season to impress
