I'm guessing it's less trying to show off and more of a low confidence player trying to stick to what he thinks he does best. Bony is playing like a lump, but he is far from a cunt. There is a player in there somewhere, but doesn't look like it'll work out at City. Wilf seems like a really nice guy and should be getting way less hate from City fans than he does. But we all need a resident boo-boy, eh?
And before you replay, fuck off doom and CARL
I kind of agree, however the level of 'hate' is always going to be commensurate with the amount of money we spend on a player.
Bony is without doubt a good technical player from what I saw of him before he joined. However, and this links to what many others have said about Leicester this season, he was in a team where he had the freedom to have a go, to take a half chance, and he was good enough that his efforts in that regard often resulted in a goal or assist. We don't try half chances, we try to play into a gold plated opportunity, and it seems taking a flyer is discouraged as it loses us possession,
This is much the same issue we had with Dzeko - he thrived on good service as he was a poacher in the box, but we provided him with the sum total of next to fuck all, and complained when he looked like a donkey holding up the ball on the fucking half way line. With Bony, (and for that matter this relates to the criticism Sterling is getting too), we throw a player into a completely rigid role which don't maximise their actual capabilities.
If we want a holdup player, buy a fucking hold-up player who is good with his back to goal. Stop buying a player because they are flavor of the month for scoring, then try to change them into something completely different to what gave them their price-tag in the first place and destroying what talent they did have!
I am not a Bony hater or a fan of his, judging him is not difficult he lacks tempo and is just jogging about with no urgency. His performance at Norwich just confirms his lack of interest in being a top player, Jogged on jogged around and Jogged off ! I have held off slagging him, 30 mill pissed away, Not good enough to lace Edins boots who we let go for 12 mill. How he keeps Kelechi out is Pellers stubbornness or stupidity.No hard feelings Wilf enjoy the dough .
