Good list except I'd replace Adebayor with Bridge

My dog never gives up either, but I wouldn't want him playing up front for City ;-)

don't know who was responsible for big Phil Cacido but he is the worst player ever to pull on the shirt. Bravo runs him mighty close mind.

Allison - Mick then Michael Robinson
According to legend Mal rings Nobby Stiles, then PNE manager, and says we'd like to buy Robinson for 400k
Nobby, thinking this is a windup call from Mal replies - you can not be serious
Mal thinking they are going to play hard ball says- okay we'll make it 700k
Nobby gets back on his chair and says okay then - and the deal was done
I was a kid when Mal rocked up at City .... he was fantastic for about 5 years .... the next manager we had that got my admiration was Roberto .... I'm hoping Pep is the next

No where near the worst player for us. He was young, scored a few and ended up having a decent career
We loaned him to Lavante and they had an option to buy for 750k. He played that well for them, they bought him and sold him immediately to Spartak Moscow for a couple of mil profit. Considering he cost us 5mil, that 750k option was madness

Sounds similar to the vermin's deal for A&E (think it's him). Didn't "The Chosen One"™ buy him for more than his buy out clause? Or was that someone else?Allison - Mick then Michael Robinson
