Wilfried Bony

Seydou Doumbia would be cheaper. he hasn't got prem experience but he looked pretty good when he played us.

Luiz Adriano would be cheaper I'm sure.

If the fee for bony is low then that reduces the damage but he isn't elite which is what we should be aiming for imo.

looked good when he's played us, correct. What you don't mention is he's been shit against pretty much everyone else.

You have to love the Championship Manager types on here who through their extensive experience think they know better and have better scouting abilities than our management team.

Exactly right. Too many who think they know better than the City Mgt Team.

Dominant spine of a team that will bully for years- Hart, Kompany, Zabba, Silva, Yaya, Aguero, Bony would be supported by a few close 2nd's such as Jimbob, Nasri, Demi etc, beast of a team & infectious, hell Bony will even make something outta Joe's goalkicks, something that short arse Edin can't.
The missing link as I have previously mentioned, the perfect foil for and will take the load of Aguero, who if gets injured allows us to play to our strengths. Bony would be a great signing, and a step up from Negredo, & he is endorsed by great management who saw how much fear he put into our back four. Welcome Wilfried, (hopefully).

Last season, on the limited TV exposure I had, I thought this guy was just a typical big number 9 with a good goal record in a team that played to his strengths.
This year, for no apparent reason other than a Swansea fan mate who was raving about him, I've watched a fair bit of himon TV and kept a particular eye on him at our place
I under-rated him, just as I under-rated Negredo when he first arrived.
Apart from his physical attributes and goalscoring record, he is actually a very clever, crafty and streetwise player.
His movement off the ball and his awareness of team-mates around him is absolutely top grade. Unlike, say, Jovetic, who is a £25m Huckerby and seems hell-bent of giving the ball away every time he gets it.
And despite not being the tallest, he is better in the air and 10x more aggressive than Edin, who has all the attributes but seems strangely weak and almost apologetic at times given his size and his tough upbringing.
This guy is not only very, very good, he knows it as well. He plays with a certain swagger while somehow also managing to be the ultimate team player.
Anyone who thinks this fella won't improve us is mistaken imo

Agree with all of that bud.

£30m???? That's expensive.

£30m???? That's expensive.

but it's city so it will probably include bonuses, interest and any other bleeding add on they can think of...

 

[Jung the foreman]

£30m???? That's expensive.

Not if Sergio gets injured again before the title run in.

At this stage the club only needs to fill a few holes (Striker, CM, LB, Winger). Get these 4 players and we might not be needing anyone for another 2-3 years. Don't mind overpaying to get these 4 spots filled up.

On an unrelated note, do we think this is done and dusted?

£30m???? That's expensive.

If his goals help us win the league then it's as cheap as chips.
