Reminds me of Jason Scotland for Wigan. Has lost his swagger and is playing it safe by playing deep, little layoffs but little threat. Making no headway against Chellini and fluffing his chance when he had it.
looks like a step too far for him. But he'll probably score now though [bounc] |  | | |  |

"He just needs a bit more time, and he'll start banging them in for fun." Now where have we heard that before...?
He found his feet here, so maybe he will there. The trouble for him is that we changed our whole system based on interchanging movement to one where we played almost everything through him. He won't get that luxury at City - he looked relatively static tonight and they don't play that way lumping it to a big target man. With Silva and Aguerro it's all lots of runs and little balls slipped through for forwards to run on to. Not "Bonnie's" game at all. | | | |

While he was doing ok and scoring a few when he started with us, he really became very good when he started getting a good run of games. He’s not going to get that at Man City. |  |

Really good business, big pay day for us and Gomis stepped up to the mark and that's all that matters. Good luck to him and thanks as he was a class act whilst here. Onwards and upwards. [Post edited 16 Sep 2015 0:24]

And bring back my Bonnie to me, to me.
Now that'll be a nice loan signing in my opinion. I would welcome that for sure.  |  | | |

Sorry Lor I wouldn't. It would be disruptive and against the grain of our set up for him too return here. | |

I have to take the view that it's bad for us all if Bony fails up there.
Before you can say the word "low transfer fee" others/clubs will be muttering that taking a player from the Swans would be a huge gamble, and the cheeky fooks would probably use it against us in any brgining !
We should all want Wilf to do well because of the following..
1. If he makes it at Man City then it further re-enforces our niche as the perfect stepping stone club for attracting the likes of Ayew etc,etc.
2. If he makes it at Mn city then the next player that a big club wants from us really does come with a huge Transfer fee !!
If we keep sending out apparent duds to the top 4/6 then that lucrative market will start to dry up, the big clubs wont look to steal our players and that will have an effect on us being able to market ourselves to hot talent looking to break into prem football.
I know many will think we should always try and keep our best players but thats just not possible unless your Real Madrid ! the next best thing is use the market for our advantage,exactly like we did with Bony .
C'mon wilf score a fookin' hatrick !! |
I prefer the view that his failure can serve as a warning to others to not leave a good thing when you've got it in Swansea.
I give him a little credit for signing the extension that gave us some leverage last January. But still, he left to "play CL football" at Man City instead of earning his way there at Swansea, so yes as Darran says, f*** him. My dream is to see us get there ourselves, while he watches from the sidelines at Man City. [Post edited 16 Sep 2015 4:47]

Nothing wrong with that viewpoint at all, but i can't blame him for wanting to leave for Man City. Like you say Bony helped us by signing a new contract which ensured we got a better deal for all concerned.
The nature of football is that if you do well others will want to sign your players, if as you hope, we got to Champions league then other teams will want to buy and the value will go up .
IMO we have a great niche being a good technical stepping stone club for newbies in the prem league, it helps the cause when we shift footballers onto the likes of Liverpool, Man City, Napoli,Spurs etc. |  | | |

But whether he fails or not once they get there doesn't really affect our perception as "a good stepping stone" IMO. The mere fact we give a guy like Bony the chance to do it is enough. We can't be held the least bit responsible if a player doesn't perform well after he leaves the Swans.
On the contrary...if he fails, he could serve the dual purpose of showing Swansea as an opportunity for big things; while simultaneously warning that the grass isn't always greener afterward. | |

Would have him back in a heartbeat and so should anyone else. |  |

Bony's four years younger and scored more goals so yeah.
It probably would have to be a one in, one out situation though. | |

He's crap man. Just like Gomis.
Little starts and sub appearances here and there is difficult at the best of times, never mind when you're at a huge club like citeh |  |

Yes makes you think that Gomis would thrive in their system - as you say with all little balls slipped through and then him making number of runs off last shoulder etc |  | | |

I think it's just a matter of him playing against higher class opposition tonight, but then more generally the system doesn't suit him at City. I always get the impression he looks a little bit lost there whilst his team mates are buzzing around him. I've no doubt if he came back here and was the main man he'd be firing on all cylinders in no time. | | | |

So we swap Gomis for Bony plus 12 million. Sorted! | |

Scored goals against the top sides for us so it would seem that they system does have a lot to do with it. | |

Ha ha. I'm a fan of the pouting frog genius now; he's totally won me over, but if he went to play in Man City's system there isn't a computer in the world that could cope with the offside stat. |  |

It's Scotty mk 2 again.
They have such depth in that squad it's hard to get a look in with the likes of augero,Kompany,silva
Etc etc.
I think he ll be disillusioned with it all if he thrives on game time. |  |

You'd have thought that their scouting system may have picked up on that
He's never going to be 1st choice unless they change their system so don't know why they paid all that for a bench player whose not the best at playing the impact sub role |  |
