Man City signing Bony: Call me the BEAST!

Manchester City signing Wilfried Bony isn't bothered by what his teammates call him.

Bony joined City from Swansea City last month.

"Maybe I am the new Beast!" he told the Manchester Evening News. "Why can't I have the same impact? I don't want to be someone else, I just want to improve my game and help my team - that is always in my mind.

"Everyone calls me Bony. In the Czech Republic they called me Bony, in Holland I was Daddy Cool, which they also did a little bit at Swansea. Whether they call me Wilfried or Bony it doesn't really matter to me."
