Whatever. It's just how it is. The Alves situation helped create this as we felt pressured to sign Walker.

Welcome! (I hope)

This is a good signing.

And think of how much of a bargain Bernardo is now. He'd go for £80m if it was now. Easy.

Finally L'Equipe is definitive. It's a deal. We absolutely had to have him and Monaco have made us pay through the nose. With Walker and Mendy we'll be miles stronger than last season. Pace and power down both flanks to supplement Sane and Sterling. Add Danilo who appears in the bag. We are probably looking for a CB and a striker if we can find one. I don't really believe the PSG stories yet anyway but Sanchez will be hard to prise from Arsenal.

Ok I'll be the first to say this....

YES!

We are massively improved at left and right back.

Pace and attacking prowess in full effect.

Pep will be pleased.

Do one haters...

He'll most likely play around 6 or 7 games, appear to be world class then for mystery reasons be left out of the squad and leave us in Winter for 8 million due to being homesick / cold / unable to adapt to Northern Life.
I haven't a fecking clue what I'm doing! Gillie come back man I want my sig back. As the Photobucket thingy gone?

Why mate?

He will fit in well here and provide us with pace, skill and crossing along the left. It's the best of kola and clichy in one to me.

Bony has qualities, but his confidence is clearly as low as ever, lacked the pace needed, was older, and Mendy isn't here to score goals.

The lad was mint against us and in other CL games I saw and has room for growth. I like his character as well. We need some of that in the team. The rest are too serious all of the time. The team needs some brightening as long as there remains focus.

It's a risk, sure. So are many signings clubs make. We are in dire need of a left back who causes problems for the opposition with our setup.

Its just I have a bad feeling about this whole transfer saga mate and also Mendy,s attitude . I do a bit of twitter stuff and this guy seems eccentric to say the least and maybe only in it for the money . I guess this is modern football summed up in a nutshell today , lets all hope he knuckles down and becomes a great full back for Manchester City .He does have a few including me to win over though the cunt ! :lol:

He is not another Bony. He has real pace as well as power. Great addition. Look forward to he and Danilo pictured in blue shirts. Still room for one more defender, probably a CB.

How the fuck is he another Bony? He's a left back, Bony is a striker. Only comparison is they're both black??? What a fucking odd thing to say

What did you mean, though? That Mendy is only coming for the cash?

He's a 23 and one of the best – or at least most promising – fullbacks in the world. He's basically been our main target this window. How is that comparable to an ad hoc January signing like Bony?
