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.
Which they usually don't on the tight ones unfortunately.tolmie's hairdoo said:richards30 said:tolmie's hairdoo said:And what standard is that?

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.
