Former Swansea City star, Wilfried Bony has described 2015 as the worst year of his football career.

The Ivorian striker joined Manchester City in January for a whopping £28 million, but despite the hefty price-tag, Bony has played little part for City on the pitch.

The 26-year-old has only featured in 19 games for the Premier League runners-up, with many of those appearances coming off the bench. He’s scored two goals in a sky blue shirt, with one typically coming against Swansea at the Liberty Stadium last season.

His lack of game-time is due to that of Sergio Aguero – one of the best forwards in the world. But surely, Bony wasn’t expecting to get picked over the outstanding Argentinian when he moved to Manchester?

Anyhow, speaking to the Express, Bony explains all about his ‘bad luck’…

A lot of crazy things have happened since I joined City and I’ve been ruled out with injury three or four times so it’s been hard to find any rhythm playing one or two games here and there,” he said. It’s been the worst spell of my career without question – in the past five years I’d never missed more than two games in a row and at Swansea I only missed a handful of matches and that was mostly because of a red card I received. I’ve had nothing but bad luck in the past year, but hopefully, that’s the end of it now. It’s not been the best time for me in that respect and has been very frustrating, but hopefully the City fans will now see the new Bony. All I need is the first goal to come and hopefully many others will follow.

It’s now been an astonishing ten months since Bony departed South Wales, but with Bafetimbi Gomis’ vast improvement, the loss of Bony hasn’t been the blow everyone thought it would be.

Hopefully, these words from Bony can stop Swansea’s players from thinking that the grass is greener elsewhere.
