Worst City players you remember

I'm probably going to get pelters for this, but here goes. I think it's disrespectful to slate former players just because of their ability, they're humans after all who may read these pages. Fair enough if it's someone who disrespected the club either whilst here or afterwards then it's fair game but it doesn't feel right to call out players that were once a part of the club we love just because they weren't good. After all we were absolutely shite as a club for many many years, so the level of player available was relative. Slating players during moments of emotion e.g. after a bad game is one thing but having a whole thread listing our worst players seems bad taste

But I guess it's a free world and a free forum so each to their own :-)
 
There is a light said:
In recent years Claudio Bravo would have to go onto any worst players list. Let’s not have any revisionist nonsense, he was utterly shit. Almost every shot he faced went into our net. Belongs on the same list as the very worst players of the 80’s and 90’s.

Bravo did ok in the 5-0 vs Scousers, coming on after Mane had tried to decapitate Eddie

This thread is like reading a horror story. Our terrible recruitment was made even worse by the needless sales of some excellent young players. Mackenzie, Barnes, Owen and Hinchcliffe were four departures that cut me to the bone. Warhurst, Barrett and Palmer were gift wrapped to Oldham. David Phillips was swapped for the useless Perry Suckling and then went on to win the FA Cup alongside ex-blue Dave Bennett. The contrast in the way the club is run nowadays is unbelievable.

I call bullshit in the case of Derek Kevan (at least learn to spell his name correctly) and Cliff Sear.

Kevan played 76 matches for City over two seasons and scored 56 goals. If that is a shit record you are consigning a hell of a lot of players to the dustbin of history. Kevan came to City towards the end of career to replace Alex Harley. He did a good job for City but was moved on when City had the option to sign someone better.

Sear played ten seasons for City at a bad time in our history playing 279 matches. He was a stalwart defender with a great sliding tackle.

I am sorry but you are sprouting absolute bollox. You probably have barely seen either of the above many times apart from maybe a few matches at the end of their career.

This sort of thread always produces a large number of comments which probably says more about the poster than the players concerned.
