Once again an Italian cub has gotten the better of us in the transfer market. We should atop dealing with those thieving bastards.

To be clear I thought it was the right time to move him on but just because you're loaded doesn't mean you throw something valuable away; you get some worth first (or at least make a proper effort).
Baffled.

I don't think it that he was disruptive, but his attitude on the pitch was not always great, and more clearly is as myself and others have stated, is that other than his usefulness with defensive headers, when he isn't scoring he is not as effective in other areas to the team.
This is why Bony is so valuable, as he fits more into out style now. Edin was good when we transitioned to the stature we are now at, but let's be real...he has not lived up to the hype compared to some of the other signings we made in that period. Of course, he has also been an important player with those key goals that we can never forget. Those will always be remembered, and I will think of him fondly regardless. It's just time for us to move on as we are looking to be a more direct team that doesn't rely on an old school big striker at this point. We don't even put in crosses that he could head most times anyway. He's too slow and deliberate for us at this point.
Hope he does well at Roma. I will be cheering for him.

Please name me one game where we have clearly seen that Bony fits into our style of play better than Edin.

West Brom
He he , nice one. Wilfried did a good impression of Lord Lucan at centre forward vs West Brom .

They both spelled 'staff' as 'stuff' in their goodbye letters.

Noticed that, I've also noticed a lot of Eastern Europeans mixing up u and a on message boards. For example 'fun' instead of 'fan', so you'd have 'Dzeko Funboys'.

Surely the references to 'u' and 'a' in your first sentence also need quotation marks ? As you do so well in your second sentence.

Yep, a lack of attention to detail, I'll try harder next time, sir. ;)
