Most Overrated Player to Play for City

[jaiguruKun]

McPointy 35 appearances 0 goals

Absolutely fucking dross. How he stayed in that RM team for so long I'll never understand

 

[Scaring Europe to Death]

Some posters are confusing overrated with shite and we used to endure plenty of the latter

Rosler and Kinkladze left Maine Road with the club two divisions lower than when they joined yet both were more popular than Dzeko who is more of a hero now than he ever was under Mancini

However the real strange one for me is Ian Bishop who starred in the 5-1 but also featured in our 4-0 and 6-0 defeats at Arsenal and Derby.
Replaced by the unpopular Mark Ward who did a job, but rarely gets mentioned these days

How many PL wins did we ever enjoy with Bishop in the starting lineup?
Probably less than 5

Wardy put a shift in, Bish was classier. The grafters will always shine in teams that are struggling, the more natural need players more on their wavelength. We've had a few who would fit better into teams of different eras.

Bish redeemed himself in his second spell, was class in the lower leagues!

Don't bash the bishop!

Seen loads of absolute shite over the years but most of them were just bad signings and were decent where they played before us.

The one that really stands out for me though for being absolutely overrated was David Seaman. Incredibly, he was was far worse than Bravo who's the 2nd worse keeper I've ever seen.

Seaman came as a 'legend', title winner with Arsenal and England keeper. I genuinely just remember him looking like a guy from the crowd playing in net. He looked old or like he didn't warm up. He had no presence and I just don't remember him touching the ball apart from picking it up from the net. It made me realise how much work Adams, Bould, Winterburn and Dixon had to do to keep the ball away from that useless fucker.

At least he had the decency to retire as soon as he got an injury mind.

Christian Negouai, recommended by Phllip Albert, only played 6 times, awful in every one. Also Jason Van Blerk, toss.

Negouai fitted a lot into his limited time on the pitch with us. A blatant handball goal goven v Rotherham and a couple of red cards including one just minutes after coming off the bench at Goodison. He also scored in the Millenium stadium v TNS and apparently sought his own medical advice rather than follow the club's medics. No wonder KK called him his most exciting signing.

No NJD was amazing for us, for me
Robinho

 

[SatOnTheWall]

Martin O’Neill was poor for us. I don’t know why. He was a fantastic player everywhere else he played.

 

[East Level 2]

All those wonderkids that were going to help us piss the third tier rather than be promoted via the play offs.
And Jamie bloody Pollock.

I've been a City fan since 2009. For me: Bony, Jo, Mendy. Others? Who knows? Before my support for CIty, maybe someone else.

Never understand how he stayed in our team so long.

I can confidently say not a single one of those players were or ever will be classed as 'overrated'.

Dunno, I still think Jo was. ;-)
Would rather have had Ali Dia up front…

Whoever's put NDJ should hang their heads in shame

Get out.

I was struggling to think of someone as we have had that many over the years. However, I read the MEN this morning and learnt about Stephen Ireland's injury and thought he's a good shout.

 

[Le Havre Oswald]

I’d go for Gheorge Weah - that he was considered the best player in the world, I’ll never understand

Remember asking him for his autograph and he said no and patted me on the head like I was some dog. Prick
