Wilfred Bony - possible January Signing

[john@staustell]

Don't be getting that Ebola whilst on ACON duty Wilfried ffs .

What a shit hole that place is for sure

[phips]

interesting that people are already assuming that Pellegrini's preferred strike duo will be Aguero and Bony rather than Aguero and Dzeko (when fit of course)

[Ted Hughes]

Well Aguero/Dzeko are not exactly Keegan/Toshack in understanding when they play together are they ? I don't suppose that partnership will never be used, but I imagine it's Bony plus any of the three or Aguero/Bony on his own which will end up as the most favoured striking options.

[blues2win]

Yes or Aguero on his own and Bony brought on as a substitution. Can't see Jovetic staying on that scenario and Edin might not be far behind. Obviously Sergio's fitness issues has to be borne in mind though.

Feel good about this signing. Good luck Wilfried, here's to a long and illustrious City career

Excellent video. As the soundtrack suggests he's very cool in front of goal and, although not that tall, very good in the air. It doesn't show his brilliant hold up play and how good he is in bringing others into play. I also think he'll be good at winning turnover ball high up the pitch which often leads to goals.

Delighted its officially done. He will be an excellent asset to have in the run in.

hate to say it but this feels a lot like demba ba to Chelsea. really do hope i'm wrong.

I've got the same nagging concerns SB.

Don't want to pour cold water on the positive thoughts going on in this thread, but I just hope Bony gets off to a flying start with ourselves and causes any feelings of concerned pessimism to evaporate in short order.

[Goaters 103]

Hmm, we'll see how he pans out.

How the UK press pack works - Sept - Dec 2015, "Man City are short of a Striker and Must sign one." Jan 2015 AFTER signing the aforementioned needed striker - "City Must sell a striker now as they have four."

You couldn't make this stuff up.

Cant see this lad failing. He does what it says on the tin and always has.

This. And stays fit throughout.

Feels a lot like Drogba to Chelsea to me.
Think he's going to be awesome.

[patrickblue]

And maybe it'll be worthwhile winning corners now.

[branny]

Don't like him. He cost me a few hundred quid new years day last year. Had City to win 3-1, Kolarov last scorer then Bony scored from thirty yards to make it 3-2 in the last minute. When he starts banging em in for us the story will change to Joe Hart costing me a few hundred quid.

[Nigels Tackle]

i think he's going to be my favourite ever city player

[Ted Hughes]

Demba Ba isn't like Bony.

He was always flakey as fuck even when he scored goals. Bony has been solid as a rock, even when he doesn't score.

No comparison.

Let's put this up again, for Demba Ba comparison :

14, wonder why he hasn't chosen 9?

Wondered that myself!

Hope he is better than last striker that had that number.....

I just hope he isn't as crocked.

Fucking Leslie getting his mate a payday, cunt.

Fair play to him.
