Zero goals and assists throughout a campaign is a terrible return

#5 Wilfried Bony – Stoke City

Two goals, a number of lumbering performances and fallings out with management

Wilfried Bony’s last few years almost seems like one of those cartoons where a character falls through the floor of a building, only to continuously drop deeper as his weight crushes the floor below that and so on.

His Manchester City excursion didn’t pay off for either party and a move to Stoke City looked on paper to be exactly the refresh he needed. A club looking for a brutish striker, a chance at a significant game time and a similar club to the one he profited in previously at Swansea City, it all made sense.

Until he barely showed up. Two goals, a number of lumbering performances and fallings out with management, it’s no surprise he’ll be heading back to the Etihad this summer only to be shown the door yet again as he tries to lumber his way into another club.
