Perhaps, but don't see it.
Sinclair's girlfriend is pregnant.
Swansea is not somewhere they both need to be in terms of work.

So sinclair may fancy the trip to London then tolm? Qpr or palace i believe are interested?

Unless we take Bony on a £10m loan and Swansea get the balance and their full asking in the summer?
United did this to avoid FFP on Falcao.
Valencia did it with Negredo.
Of course, there would be a huge outcry if we attempted something similar.

I have been banging the drum for Bony for quite a few months and would be really excited to see what he could offer in a City shirt.
He's got all the tools and as a club, we could offer him the belief that takes him to the very top level.
Still believe this could be Dzeko's last season, along with Kolarov, despite signing recent renewals.
Perhaps City feel the need to advance certain transfer targets, although Bony and AFCON still doesn't make sense.
The perfect foil for Sergio, however.
And what standard is that?
One where a player has managed to score more goals than Aguero in the last 12 months?
Perhaps Costa, Suarez, Ronaldo, Ibrahimovic, Lewandowski?
Oh, wait a minute...
Just because you can't date Scarlett Johansson doesn't mean you should knock back Jennifer Lawrence.
Bony fits our team and requirements like a glove. Aguero needs a foil, he also needs someone who is happy to play second fiddle.
I would suggest people take another look at Bony's goal against QPR, yesterday, which was perfect in technique, very reminiscent of Lewandowski's for Dortmund against Madrid in the Champs League semi-final a couple of seasons ago.
The Afcon argument is a valid one, but so is the one which is that Bony will have his pick of £25m/£30m suitors this summer.
We will miss the boat for someone who is only 26 and can win us the league this season. We have an advantage over our main rivals in this January window, in terms of being able to spend and others not needing a striker.
The standard where we are one of the best teams in the world nowadays,in which he comes nowhere near,that standard !tolmie's hairdoo said:Thenumber1blue said:Non of this will happen,unless whopping offers come in,therefore none will happen.As for £30 million for Bony,it's laughable.No where near the standard we should be looking at !tolmie's hairdoo said:I see the Ivory Coast training camp is in Abu Dhabi this month.

But are we actually going for him tolm or is it just paper chat?
It's a bit of both.
There is a watching brief from City that Swansea are aware of. Swansea have been briefing their local pack to that extent.
I don't see any serious deal getting done unless Nastasic moves on permanently this month.
It should go without saying, Bony does not need any convincing.
I do think we have a decent chance if a couple of things fall into place.

If he doesn't come from one of the 'elite' clubs he's not a good player
Absolute shite
Bony would be immense for us..he's a better Negredo..and look how well the beast partnered Kun

You could make comparisons to Demba Ba. His goals per game rate looks almost the same as Ba's before Ba moved from Newcastle to Chelsea. Bony seems physically stronger though.
Sometimes it works (great looking striker moving from smaller club to bigger club), sometimes it does. Mandzukic to Bayern is an example of it working, Ba to Chelsea is an example of it not working.
