Wilfried Bony has completed his move to Man City, but only after his former club Swansea got a bit tetchy about premature speculation.
Manchester City fans got very very excited earlier today when a tweet was doing the rounds allegedly confirming the move of Wilfried Bony from Swansea to the Etihad by the Ivory Coast FA on Twitter.

It seems that they had spoken too soon, and the official Swansea page tweeted a fairly catty response, considering his move was eventually confirmed within a couple of hours.
Wilfried Bony has NOT yet completed his move to @MCFC. Once completed, we will confirm via official channels – not the Ivory Coast FA! #busy

The PR heads at Swansea reckoned they had got the last laugh, until the move was officially, officially confirmed this afternoon.
