He needs to improve on his goal celebrations,although I'm sure he'll have plenty of practice.
 
I read this a while back and thought i liked his character (not so much his fashion sense)

Check it out, this guy seems to be smart and have a sensible head on his giant shoulders.

On the Bony front I'm happy if we sign him from an ability perspective. He's a very good striker, with an eye for goal, and he brings aerial ability, power, and strength, which we lack at present from our strikers (Dzeko SHOULD provide these things, but all too often is surprisingly weak when it comes to the physical battle). My only concern is the who African Cup Of Nations bollocks, every 2 years Bony, just like Yaya, will disappear for 6 weeks or so, right at the heart of the season. Losing 1 key player is difficult, losing 2 will be doubly so. It really does baffle me how UEFA, and it's higher profile clubs, haven't put pressure on FIFA and the African Football Association to address the scheduling of this competition. There's really no need for it to be every 2 years, and the weather angle behind it's mid-season scheduling doesn't really hold water for a continent that straddles the equator like Africa does.

Serious question mate but do you believe that he`ll still be with us in 2017 ??

If you want to discuss yaya. Then fuck off to the yaya thread. This thread is about Bony!

Hahahaaaaa.I fucking asked for that mate.
 
When we beat QPR and needed 2 goals we had 3 strikers on the pitch. Balotelli forced a great save from a corner that set up the corner from which Dzeko scored, Balloteli then got the assist on the Aguerooooo goal. All 3 instrumental in the win. As we stand we are lucky to get 1 striker on the pitch!

If this season goes down to the wire again we might need 3 strikers on the pitch at some point and if Bony helps us win the league then £30m is a bargain. When you look at how much Everton paid for Lukaku and how much dross has been bought by various clubs for £10-£20m then this is not a bad deal.

I still don't understand why the club didn't take UEFA to court especially once they started shifting the goal posts at the last minute. We shouldn't have to be discussing this shit every time we want to sign a player.

Obviously wasn't worth it. FFPR won't exactly be a disadvantage after this season, seeing as we have higher revenues than all but 4/5 clubs.

At some point we might need to have a bit of an overhaul of the squad. We are fine at the moment but you never know what will happen in a few years time. If at some point things go a bit tits up and we felt we needed to do what say united have done in the last 12 months, would we be able to do it? We might be making a profit now having reigned things in deliberately to comply with their shite rules but would we be making a profit if we went out and spunked 200 million on players?

In FFP terms as long as our adjusted NP and the amortisation cleared off the books by players leaving covered the £40m mark, then yes, we would (given that the average contract would be 5 years) So, a rough estimate (all made up figures for the purpose of illustration):

Dzeko (£3m), Yaya (£4m), Silva (£3m), Kolarov (£2m), Fernandinho (£8m), Negredo (£3.75m), Caballero (£1.5m) and Milner (£5.2m) all leave, freeing up roughly £30m in amortisation, plus we turn in an FFP adjusted profit of £25m, we have £275m to spend on new players in that transfer window as long as the new signings' wages are covered by the wages of the outgoing players and the average contract is 5 years for amortisation purposes.

Given that the club can reasonably expect to cover a couple of squad places with promoted players from the CFA, that leaves us with some pretty powerful ammo in the transfer market.

Yet again. hypothetical musings of my own, just to show that it can easily be done.

No. They were changed.

No bollocks were dropped as stated.

It doesn't matter whether the rules were "changed" only the outcome matters. Sheikh Mansour pays top dollar to ensure these things don't happen, they happened, we dropped a bollock.

"Dropping a bollock" suggests it was something we could have avoided and we didn't, so it was our own fault.

Think of it this way, you're asked to go to the shop with a shopping list, one item on which is a shirt. Prior to leaving the house you're told that where the list says "shirt" what is meant is a red shirt, with short sleeves, with a 16 inch neck. You go to the shops, find the right shirtm buy it, and go home. When you arrive, you find that the guidance on the shirt has changed, now the shirt has to be blue, have long sleeves, and a 15 inch neck. Your wife is pissed off and won't cook your tea for the next week, as you got it wrong. Whose fault is this? You did everything you could do, and followed the guidance exactly. Did you "drop a bollock"?

That's a very simplified version of what happened here. The rules stayed the same (buy a shirt), however the guidance before buying the shirt is not the same guidance being used to assess whether the purchase meets the requirements.

Imagine a scenario when you score a perfectly good goal, but the linesman for whatever reason rules it offside, video technology shows that it was onside and should have stood, but nevertheless the goal is not given, the game is lost, and as a consequence we lose the league by one point, the manager is sacked, and after spending a year or so grubbing around for another club ends up managing a bunch of no hopers, relegation follows followed by heavy drinking, divorce and an early death.

You, the player, are sold at the end of the season, after unsuccessful spells at lower league clubs your career ends prematurely and a combination of substance abuse and gambling debts see you declared bankrupt.

The outcomes are there for all to see.

Nobody remembers or cares about the dodgy offside goal and even if you held their hand and led them back to it, seeing how it all joined up they'd not be bothered, what matters in business as in sport are the results of actions.

We failed to anticipate a change in the rules (if change there was), it's not our fault, no reasonable person could expect that! So what? That no reaonable person could expect that! It is what they did, and our guys in the Armani suits with their flow charts failed to predict it, that possibility passed them by.

In the end It does not matter who's fault it was. The outcome is we were fined under FFP, the only Premier League Club to be so fined and we not only suffered the financial consequences of it and the depleted CL squad, but it gave ammunition to our enemies to use it against us, however eroneously, in perpetuity as and when they choose, it is a monstrous bollock.
 
Can we start with these yet??

By the time the deal is done, SSN will have tried to convince the world the lad is sunday morning park football standard.

I wonder what their take would be if it was the rags or Chelsea signing him..........?

Easy to do when you're a sub the whole time, what about goals/games?
