Wenger, Mourinho question Bony’s move to Manchester City

Wenger-Bony-MourinhoArsene Wenger and Jose Mourinho, have both raised eyebrows over’s Wilfried Bony’s £25million move to Manchester City.
The Ivorian completed his transfer from Swansea this week and Wenger, who takes his team to the Etihad this weekend, says he is ‘surprised’ that they were able to buy the player, despite being limited to a £49m net transfer spend imposed by UEFA for breaking Financial Fair Play regulations.
Mourinho on his part, claimed the rules were different for Chelsea, but hailed the arrival of the powerful striker.
“Well done, good player, good striker,” Mourinho replied when asked about Bony’s move.
“If they have the money and can spend it and have no problems with Financial Fair Play, well done.
“The rules are different for City, you know what I mean. But they can only play with 11, unless the rules for them are different and they can play with 12.
“They have a fantastic squad, and one more top player for that squad: Aguero, Jovetic, Bony and Dzeko are fantastic. Well done.”
Wenger added: “They must have the availability and the Financial Fair Play allows them to do it. I don’t know. It was a surprise, yes. They have huge financial potential now for a lot of years and we know that.
“It is part of our game and we have to deal with it.
“It’s not down to me to control it. There are official people to do that. I don’t know enough about what they do. It’s not my job as well to judge that.”
