By all accounts Sky are reporting he is having his medical tomorrow? Now will that be at the Bridgewater Hospital or The Spire in Whalley Range or our all our medicals now going to undertaken at the CFA?
 
Essential signing if it happens I'll be happy as we all knew we were short at the start of the season and now we can do something about it.
 
I had a scan on the Bony thread on RagCafe after it was posted on here earlier and this comment from a United fan summed it up nicely for me...


I can't believe we of all people are saying City overpaid. I think 30 million pound for Bony is extremely good bit of business for City. Its really cheap. He is a premiership proven striker who will get you 25 goals a season and with City's creativity around him, he could get more. He is 26 and got the best years ahead of him. Chelsea paid 50 million for Torres, we paid 37 million for weakling Juan Mata and are about to pay around 40 million for Falcao. On those grounds, 30 million for Bony is dirt cheap.
 
Only 37 pages to overtake the Barkley thread........come on, we can do this!
 
From what I've seen this season, Bony is without doubt the best striker available in this window. Yes he's scored a hatful of goals but in addition his linkup play is excellent, his touch is great and he's as strong as an ox. In addition even though he's not very tall, he's good in the air and has a great leap. My only concern is that we would lose him every year with ACON at the same time as Yaya, which means weakening the team at what is a very important stage of the season. Fortunately, we have other great players, and normally we'd expect to cope.

I think he'd be a top signing and the thought of him playing with Sergio & Silva is mouthwatering

So you questioning his 4 years contribution because οf some poor perfomances and and injury after a World Cup year ??? So easy ???
Everybody losses his form...everybody was poor in the start of this race...
Dropping him so easy seems lack of some sort of spirit.And you don t buy spirit with money.

Do you believe that we should had sell Yaya too ?

I agree....everyone has drop in form from time to time.....what has concerned me more than his lack of goals, is his lack of effort in some of the games before the injury.....Do you think City would be looking at Bony if Dzeko/Jovetic were banging 15-20 goals between them before injury?? I agree, you don't drop a guy after a few bad games but its pretty clear if his performance doesn't improve Bony (if signed) will be the 1st off the bench before Dzeko....and when that happens...Pelle will not be thinking of Dzeko's goals in past seasons as Pelle knows his job is on the line now....

Do we have goalscoring problem ?
Is Bony the player who will give us more chances to win Barca ?Because i prefer to spend the money for this kind of player


I really do understand the support for Dzeko....all I'm trying to say is that he's had a rough year and if he's not careful a guy like Bony could be taking his place on the team unless he improves......and he wont be able to use the argument...but I've scored many goals in the past for you!

Yes, because we name a new squad for the last 16, but we have the same restrictions, so somebody would have to be left out.

Not quite right, you name the same squad, but have the possibility to change up to three players.

Is it up to 3 changes though? The FFP sanction makes a vague mention of a restriction on introducing newly-transferred players into the CL squad.

I doubt that rule is changed, it's to avoid having long term injured players etc, it would be harsh.

It's every other year mate and we have cover
 
Some proper moaning b******s in this thread. No wonder there is never any atmosphere, everyone sits waiting to be proven right that (insert player) isn't good enough to play for our club. Just so when they give one ball away they can turn to their mate and say 'told ya, he's shite him'.

He's a goalscorer and a proven one at that.

Be happy that we're even in a position to sign these players and get behind them.

Rant over.

I've read a lot of the posts in the last 20-30 pages, the only "moaning" I've seen has been from Dzeko fan boys, because a few people have said Bony will take his place.

Others (myself included) have questioned whether its a top of the range signing, I can't see anything wrong with asking that question, since the club aspires to be one of the top clubs in world football. Some (the majority it seems) think he may well be, and that is what a discussion forum is for, discussing.

I can't see a single post suggesting anyone won't "get behind him".
