Football pundit Andy Townsend has warned Swansea City returning striker Wilfried Bony is 'unrecognisable' from the goal machine that lit up the Liberty and is 'someone who looks like he can no longer move and get around the field'. "Bony looks like he can no longer move or get around the field.
“He was the sort of player when he was at Swansea first time and playing every week he had a pedigree and was among the goals.
"His numbers were good at Swansea.
"But when he went to Man City he started sitting it out, having to play sporadically.
"When he did play he literally looked like someone whose legs have gone completely and he shouldn’t have been in this sort of company.
“He’s not going to have to find a yard (of pace) but two or three if he’s going to get back among the goals.
“The Wilfried Bony I’ve watched at Man City and the Wilfried Bony I saw at Stoke, was unrecognisable to the one we all saw at Swansea."
“They need to play through him (Bony).
"He did exceptionally well when he was there last time and he got that great move to Man City, but we (Stoke) probably never played to his strengths and we felt we would have got more from him maybe when he came in.
“But it never worked out for him at our place. If Swansea can play to his strengths and get it up to him, then they might have half a chance."

We have to hope Townsend is talking complete bollox. Wilf was in a side where he was always going to bench warm I.e Man City. In Stoke he was in the wrong team that played anti christ football. We need to hope that he can recapture his old form.
Actually Townsend's comments pinned to the dressing room wall should do more than anything to motivate him to hit his former heights.
Nice to see WOL jumping on this one as well ;-) |  |

New diet few quality supplements and first class training and 3 or 4 games where he's under no pressure to perform from fans and he'll get his mojo back, Andy Townsend is in a longlist of gobshite ex footballers who talk absolute shite, talking horses without substance. |  |

I hope we know Wilf better than the 'experts'. He looks in great shape to me. If he gets anywhere near the levels he was for us we should be delighted. |  |

Wilf will do fine for us.
It would have helped at Man City & Stoke if they'd played more to his strengths but that was never going to happen |  |

Surprised to see he is still only 28 so still a good few years left in him as well. | |

Interested to note as well that in these days when 4 year contracts seem to be the norm,
both Llorente and Bony were / are two year contracts - a touch of caution I guess ? [Post edited 2 Sep 2017 10:36]

He never had "a yard of pace", so difficult to lose it. His key strengths were holding up the ball / providing nice lay offs to other players and a bullet of a header. When he first started with us his touch was a bit awry and it took him some time to get this going. He was never given this time by either Man City or Stoke.
As others have mentioned he is a confidence player and provided we give him the time to get his mojo back then it should pay dividends later in the season. He probably realises now that this is his last chance of getting some adulation for knocking in a few goals.
C'mon Wilf, score some goals for Swansea ! |  |

He is in Great shape but is he fit both mentally and physically to play, diet [his diet is probably spot on but you never know] and playing will help to get his confidence back which will give him an extra yard or two, confidence plays a huge part in a sportsman as we all know, gonna take a couple/3 games though, fans patience is the key and we've plenty of moaners who probably are and will say why the fuk did we bring him back ffs so one of two miss timed pass miss control and they'll be happy.

What is something bony has never managed ever since leaving the swans? A consistent run of games. He's a player that needs to play. He's not a guy that comes from the bench to supply a bit of magic. He's a player that gets better and better with every game he plays and needs that consistency. So until he gets that I can't really see how anyone can say he's shot. |  | | |

People want to justify their beliefs
It's like dr Winston justifying the now pitiful Rotledge because he believes he s BEEN a good player. | |

This is true. Every year we get lumped in as favourites to go down. The worst was that Manc tosser on the BBC Premier League show that had us bottom and more or less said we should p!ss off to the WPL as we have a chance of winning that! | |

Listening to Durham goughy yesterday ,in the bath, evidences all.
" just a quick word on Swansea"
Why quick
It's our greatest motivation and reason why our ground and fans should be the most hostile
We re being insulted ,frankly, and made worse by our own national BBC station | |

It can take up to 4 years to recover from the symptoms that malaria leave you with.
Obviously he has been given the correct diet and training after being struck down by this disease.
I really hope that fans don't get on his back before giving his body time, and hopefully he will keep on recovering and fit in the jigsaw of our squad.
Welcome home Bony. I loved how you never got bullied in the oppo's penalty area. |  | | |

You hope fans don't get on his back, some will without a shadow of doubt I've heard it already and he hasn't kicked a ball for us yet, that's footie fans in general though innit we're a fickle bunch. | |

He's used to getting aggro from swans fans though.
His last contract with us meant weeks of whinging by many fans of him being ...benched, slow, never gonna score,
Who had the last laugh though.😃 | | | |

I'm not sure if Townsend actually watched him when he was here, but two or three yards of pace? He hardly has to run at all to play the way we used to and the way that will suit Tammy, Ayew, Fer, Sanches etc. As long as he has the strength, vision and close control he did last time he will be absolutely fine.
Charlie Adam's comments seem a lot more informed, as you would expect. We've got a chance if he is central, fairly static and we play through him, if we try to play him like a more orthodox centre forward it won't work. | | | |

Not sure how Bony would get Malaria. Malerone is a strong preventative which can be taken for the period of exposure. Up to 3 months is fine. It is expensive but hardly an issue with cost for players.
When you get level 1 malaria you know it. Level 2 and your admitted on a drip for a week.
Cant see how professional footballers can get it unless it is a throwback to earlier days.
It certainly stays in your blood and european tests do not focus on its detection. The whites of his eyes look clear to me.
Now he is here he will be motivated but if he does have malaria symptoms it hits hard for a few days then disappears. First signs are the floor feels like it is moving and then you feel tired with no expression in your face people will ask if you are unhappy. Suddenty next day you are fine at level 1.
It is very common and widely misunderstood or undetected in tests.
Maybe a bit like Bony. Hope he tears up trees for us. |  | | |

I was one of them that highlighted that Max. In no way an I going to give Wilf stick if it does not work out. The blame will lie elsewhere. I think most feel that way to be honest. | |

Apparantly he had it 2 years ago.
But guessing from your post, you would know that it can take 4 years to completely recover from symptoms. | | | |

I was totally against signing him but I'll be 100% behind him now. If he can do what he did last time he was here I would have been proved totally wrong and I hope to be able to say that! |  |
