Wilfried Bony

[Sergi0 Na5r1]

Jovetic is easily worth what we paid for him. I would be looking for £25 million for him. Or ideally, loan him to Juve until the summer on the condition that we then use him as part of a player plus cash deal for Pogba. And Dzeko is easily worth the same amount too. Why are all our players always criminally undervalued when we are selling them? £15 million is an insult to Edin. You'd probably be expecting to pay that kind of money for somebody like Ings from Burnley. If we were looking at buying either of them from another club they'd never be available for those prices.

A loan definitely seems like the better option. Easy few quid for the likes of Koke or Pogba and we can keep an eye on him in case we require his services next season.

Goal now also saying the £27 million fee agreed

The striker is set to join the Premier League champions in a £27m deal with Manuel Pellegrini's men now finalising personal terms with the 26-year-old
Manchester City have agreed a £27 million move for Swansea City striker Wilfried Bony, Goal understands.

The Premier League champions have been trying to conclude a deal with the Welsh club for the past week, and the club are now finalising personal terms with Bony.

Vitesse, Bony's former club, are due to receive 10 per cent of the total fee due to a clause in his move to the Liberty Stadium.

It is understood the Ivory Coast striker will earn around £75,000 per week at the Etihad Stadium, as the Blues can only spend the same amount on wages as they did in the 2013-14 seasons due to the Financial Fair Play restrictions placed upon them by Uefa.

He will, however, earn a number of bonuses and incentives.

The base £75,000 amount is roughly what is earned by defender Matija Nastasic, who has found himself out of the first team this season and is on the verge of January move, with Schalke leading the chase.

FFP restrictions have weighed heavily on City's recent transfer dealings, with the club entitled to spend less than £50m in the summer market in order to avoid a Uefa fine of the same amount.

The penalties were also thought to be the reason behind letting striker Alvaro Negredo, who hit the ground running at the start of last season, leave the club for Valencia on a loan deal in the final days of the transfer window.

City have relied on the goals of Sergio Aguero at certain points this season, with Stevan Jovetic and Edin Dzeko both struggling with injuries, although they did manage to close the gap on league leaders Chelsea without their Argentine striker over the Christmas period.

Goal have been more reliable than any of the red tops for City news in recent years.

 

[Mr Ed (The Stables)]

Not many people bully Vinnie but Mr Bony did.

He'll add sum pace and muscle up front.

In certain games at home and possibly away a fully fit Aguero with this powerhouse will cause all sorts of trouble for defenders and I for one can't wait.

'£100 million Overhaul' - what a ridiculous headline

Can't see a anyone giving 20mil for Jovetic, never mind an Italian club especially when you consider the peanuts we got for players such as Tevez, Robinho and Balotelli

So how much did we get for those 3 players, Seeing you know being it was peanuts?

Well we didn't get the going rate did we?

About 10m for Tevez was it? I'd say that is peanuts

 

[Sergi0 Na5r1]

Only 10 million?? And somehow David seven-down Luiz was worth 50 million!?? what the hell is this sport coming to.

We got fucked for Tevez, but we actually got decent fees for Robinho and Balotelli.

Robinho £18.5-22.5m (depending on the source) - eventually loaned out to Santos to run out his contract
Balotelli £19m - Sold 2 years later for £16m

he'll get booked and sent off doing what he has done for the last two seasons when he plays for us. Remember when Quinn used to get penalised all the time when he was a Blue. Moves to Sunland and gets away with the same stuff.

i don't think so. Jovetic was overpriced (by a small amount though) when we bought him. A realistic valuation will be close to 20 million however injuries and the fact that he hasn't been noteworthy would probably bring it down to 15M.

i actually think a better option would be to loan him out and then if the club wants to buy make it a high price like Chelsea did with de bruyne.

dzeko is a different story. His wages might be an issue but if he doesn't make a fuss (i.e. He really wants to play) then he shouldn't have issues and a 20 million valuation given that he is about to turn 29 would probably be fair

wages were the reason the tevez sale was so low

I think we're saying the same thing? A loan with option to buy.
