Wilfried Bony

The point is that Bony is that he gives us something slightly different. He's a natural replacement for Negredo in that he's a physical centre-forward, who can hold the ball up and is also direct. Neither Aguero nor Dzeko really fulfils that role, although both habe their strengths.

Maybe Dzeko might go and we can get in a young striker or even include someone like Ambrose more regularly.
 
The rags paid £12.4m in January 2004 for Louis Saha. He wasn't a flashy signing for them but he was ideal for what they wanted.

Absolute shite.

Txiki Begiristain's transfer policy is woeful. We have a severely restricted budget so why are we using it all on Mangala and Bony. Those are Liverpool and Tottenham level signings. Madrid and Barcelona have no interest in average players like these so why do we.

It's like United have accepted our former policy of signing Di Maria and other great world stars like we did with Agüero and Silva and we have accepted there old one of signing shite like Phil Jones.

People will say we are winning trophies so it obviously works but I am seriously concerned. Looks like we have no long term plan for replacing Toure, shouldn't we be in for Pogba? No rush to address our lack of threat from the wings, Reus would solve this?

£30 million for Bony what a fucking joke.

Re Pogba: Who says we aren't goin to be in the summer? He'll never move in January with Juve very much in the CL.

Re Reus: All the signs point to him wanting to go to Real instead...no chance we'll get him.

Re Bony: Top scorer in the PL in 2014...look at his highlights against Komps. If that's the going rate for a striker entering his prime who are we to say it's too much? We got 25m for a 29 year old Negredo.
 
He excels for swansea who like us play possession football the only change(apart from step up in quality of course) would he'll have to get used to playing with a strike partner. Played with Michu last season who's more like a Jovetic. Aguero is at his best when he sits on the shoulder/in between defenders...Bony would need to play more of a link role than he does now?
 
No one knows what the package will be, just because a newspaper or SSN says £30 mill it doesnt mean its correct..

I bet its a lower initial fee with add ons for success and games played.

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.

Jovetic stays. He has lots of potential plus he is really hungry and desperate to become a fan favourite , you can see it in him when he plays , the only problem I have with Jovetic is that I think he is trying to hard. He just needs to keep it simple and stop the whole ridiculous , unproductive dribbling

They also spent £30m on Berbatov back in 2008, beating us to it.

Was he ever considered ahead of Ronaldo or Rooney.

No, but he still ended up joint top goal scorer with Tevez one season, winning them another title.
 
Makes me laugh when I read people saying he isn't good enough. He is a fantastic player with his back to goal and will be an ideal foil for Aguero. It's fair to say Aguero and Dzeko have never struck up a good partnership.

It's almost as if txiki can't win with some people - maybe these were the ones 18 months ago saying we should go balls deep for Soldado and what a success he turned out to be.

So for me £30m (and I doubt it will be that much) will be a fair fee for a proven goal scorer at premier league level.

I normally like your posts mate but I have to disagree.

Neither Mangala or Bony are average players, Bony is the top scorer in the top tier of one of the world's best leagues this calendar year, and Mangala will come good.

About the red shite, well, there transfer policy has got them 9pts behind us.

As for Pogba and Reus. Would love them here but that will have to wait until the summer unfortunately.

My own opinion is that Bony is a top player who is going to cause problems for our opponents, but I don't want to see a return of 442, Dave and Sergio have thrived in 4231 before Kuns injury.

Also check his games to goals ratio and his Prem record and that's what you pay the money for. Goals.
 
Great signing if it comes off.
A top striker who is also great at defending free kicks and corners.
Get it done City.

Hilarious that some on here are using all kinds of bollocks to put a negative slant on the deal.

My best has just text me saying hahaha bony 30 million. The twat is a Liverpool fan, he'd walk into there team. Can see dzeko or jovetic on the way in the summer, probably dzeko due to his age.

For people who don't rate him, do you actually watch him play? Yes we missed out in Sanchez in the summer, but bony will defintley help us out in the title run in. Can't wait for a bony and aguero partnership. He's got a bit of everything, something we've been missing since the beast left.
