Past City Players Not Everyone Rated, But You Miss Now

[MarsLlama]

Dzeko.

Still one of the top level strikers in Europe, genuinely. His longevity has been great to watch.

 

[MarsLlama]

I'm so tempted to say....

No, I can't do it.

Enjoy the thread - I'll come back for a read when it turns into a complete shitshow.

Apologies if this thread ruffles any feathers, it was only meant to be a nice chance to reminisce about some ex players in a more positive light!

Stephen Ireland. For a brief time, a genius on the ball.
I'd love to have seen him playing with the group of players we have today.

 

[Xhavenjoe]

Bravo - as a number 2.
Think he was better than steffan is now

Bravo had a year as no 1 and didn't do it for Pep.
Steffen has not had that opportunity

Looking at some of the names starting for PL sides this season, I think Steffen would get in plenty of them. Don't think he'll be here long. Too good.

Sibierski
Fernando
Bravo (as the deputy)
Kanté
Otamendi
Sibierski

Otamendi was one of my favourite players. Flawed? Absolutely. Just had a soft spot for him.

Ditto Fernando.

 

[TFC]

Carlos Tevez. That game today was crying out for a player like him to drag us back into it. Someone with intent.

Edit - sorry, missed the 'not everyone rated' bit, but fuck it, let's pretend no one rated him ;)

Kante?

 

[MarsLlama]

Kante?

Forum running joke mate, someone ages ago got confused and said we should "re-sign Kanté" even though he obviously never played for us.

 

[kun]

James Milner

 

[urban genie]

Javi Garcua, first season iffy got negativity because he replced DeJong, second season bedrock in DM role in pellers title winning side, was then replaced by fernando who was shite.

 

[J.G.Blue.]

Ali Benarbia, I think in his pomp in a pep side he would have been something very special.

Miss his hair.......

I rated Andy Hill far more than most, thought he was bloody ace when fit.

Until Zaba we never replaced Andy hill with a equal or better RD.

He was my favourite player at the time, decent defender and that goal v leeds was top

He had a fantastic attitude to the game, never the greatest but a winner who made up for it with sheer effort for the cause.

Garcia was also a useful stand in centre half.

 

[Trojan1962]

Garcia was also a useful stand in centre half.

I think Garcia was slower than Rick Holden and that is fucking sloooow
