Wilfried Bony

[Segga]

Shite signing, he will play half a dozen games for us this season then be loaned out in the summer, probably back to Swansea with us paying all his wages.

Two interesting things if this does happen:

1. We aren't signing him as a short term fix as he will miss too many matches for this to be a panic buy.
2. He will have to take someone's spot in the Champions League squad.

Pure wild speculation what about Kolarov off to Italy (probably on a loan to buy with Inter) and Kurzawa in, who's cup tied in the Champions League...

I just can't see a single negative reason for this transfer. Premier top scorer, brilliant goals to games ratio and an upgrade on the current crop apart from Aguero.

Fantastic signing and bloody good business.

Over priced and over rated.

 

[Kompany is King]

Would be a good buy.

Not just for remainder of this season. He will get a three or four year contract.

Why are we going to spend 25-30m on someone who wouldn't even make our first team? I struggle to see any rationale for this transfer especially as he can't be a panic buy to address our current injury problem at top (since he'll return from the Africa Cup of Nations after all our strikers are back from injury). He'd be surplus to requirements and won't add anything to the team - even if we sell Dzeko in the summer to make way for him it would still be a strange transfer.

What do you mean even if we sell Dzeko it would be a strange transfer? Imagine him on his own with the likes of toure or silva behind him or aguero partnered with him. He is strong, powerful and has good hold up play and can use the ball with his feet nearly as good as Aguero

If you give him the ball 20 meters outside the box he s gonna shoot from there...he don t have the pace to pass anyone...don t mention Aguero

Another mercenary into the fold,we're like the wild geese.

I don't know people are complaint about this signing, for £30m we are getting an upgrade on Dzeko for me, pretty much similar goal tallies but Bony has more to his game and will link up with Agüero better than Dzeko does in my opinion.

A lot of people are being blinded by the fact he plays for Swansea and not a top club, so what, you don't have to buy from top clubs everytime we need a player, somwtimes mid table clubs have gems of their own.

 

[Asad]

If we get him, will he be able to play in the Champions League because my brother was saying that he can't I don't know why? Can someone clear this up for me?
