Worst City player you've seen live/worst City squad

[taleofbluehalves]

Corradi.

The very reason you shouldn’t base a signing on numbers and stats, Mr Pearce! One of the slowest, lead footed players ever surely?

 

[taleofbluehalves]

Rae Ingram. David Morley.

David or Trevor? Trevor was very average apart from the Valley Parade goal and the 5-1. Saw his debut and it didn’t bode well.

 

[taleofbluehalves]

Ged Brannan
Jim Whitley
Andy Hill
Eike Immel

Andy Hill is harsh I thought he was pretty good back in the day. Not the quickest but a decent signing.

 

[taleofbluehalves]

Trevor Christie. Signed by Billy McNeill in the summer of ‘86 and touted as being a 20 goal a season replacement for Mark Lillis - who was a hard working centre forward who scored 15 goals the season before if my memory serves me right. I think he managed four goals for us in total.
Steve McMahon. Not sure how he’s managed to avoid this thread. Lazy, fat, out of shape and put almost every shot over the bar.

McMahon was past his best at City but I remember our form dropping after he was stretchered off and he missed some games.

Immel was a very poor keeper for an international. Did he catch anything?

Couldn't catch a cold!

 

[Abattoir Blue]

I'd say Steve Macmanamananamanmanama

All he did was jog around and point. He did nowt else for us at all. I couldn't believe he was a player who'd played for Real Madrid, it was like he was an impersonator of a footballer.

At least with other players, we knew they were shit, but to be as shit as him when he'd scored two goals in a CL final...

Though there he was playing with Ronaldo rather than French Tone tbf.

Seen some bad ones over the years but top 3 that made me wonder how are they classed as professionals were :

Gerry Creaney

Adie Mike

Mikael Frontzeck


Shudders....

When he was here Seaman was truly atrocious.

Never heard of that Shudders fella.

;-)

I remember being excited when we signed McManaman!

Andy Hill is harsh I thought he was pretty good back in the day. Not the quickest but a decent signing.

Andy Hill was a decent at centre half when he got moved. Not even in the ballpark as worst player. Who next Ali B?

Never thought much of Bob Taylor but again much worse. Still Carl Shutt for me.

 

[The Light Was Yellow Sir]

When he was here Seaman was truly atrocious.

As was Fowler.

 

[franksinatra]

When he was here Seaman was truly atrocious.

It seemed like every week him and Sun Jihai would have a miscommunication breakdown and invariably end up in a goal

 

[Indaparkside]

Simon tracey remember that fucker he was dog shit in goal

 

[Cityfan]

As was Fowler.

Wasn't impressed with Fowler, he had certainly degenerated significantly from his best, on an absolute basis I thought he was a below average premier forward whereas I thought Seaman was dreadful and not just below his previous level

 

[lancs blue]

When did you see him live ?

2002–2003 Manchester City 0 (0)

I remember Vuoso in a pre-season friendly at Bury(?) - he didn't impress much for a £3.5m player but I'm not sure he was bad enough to make this thread. Lee Peacock on the other hand had one attribute, he made Gareth Taylor look like Maradona in comparison.

 

[Banned Tosspot]

Neil Heaney was pretty awful.

 

[peoffrey]

Fowler was handy when he wasn’t playing with Anelka. The two didn’t get along.

 

[jimharri]

Hard to blame Sun, really. That Yorkshire, sorry, "YAAAAAAWKSHAA" accent must be really difficult to a non-English speaker to understand. Christ knows what Kev and Dave make of Fab, Stonesy and Kyle!
