He was average as a player, but a great character who loved the club and will always be well thought of.

Most Overrated Player to Play for City
- Thread starter BlueTG
- Start date
Georgie Kinkladze, SHOULD have been a world star with his talents, as good as Maradona but was in a team that suffered 2 consecutive relegations and apart from a couple of highlight moments went MIA.
We went down cause we had cross eyed goalkeeper and a free transfer from Exeter who was right footed playing left back , Kinkladze nearly kept us on his own second season he would have kept us up if Royle hadn’t dropped for 6 games , granted he was awful at Port Vale but Royle played him left mid/wing ( joke ) then when we where fucked he brought him back against QPR he scored after 33 seconds overrated no underrated yes , most skilful player ever to wear the shirt .
Fucking loved Kinkladze
With the exception of maybe De Jong and Kinkladze, the vast majority of players chosen are not rated that highly around here. How can you say Mcmanaman was overrated when he's universally despised round these parts as a player? I guess City legend Danny Mills was overrated too.
This thread should have more controversy, given how being overrated works. So in the spirit of that I'll throw a player into the mix: Fernandinho.
Has he been a fantastic player? Of course. Is he a City legend? He should very much be considered one.
But you can still be brilliant and overrated (eg Scholes). Fernandinho just isn't on the level as the likes of Aguero, Silva, De Bruyne, or Kompany. He's a clever, disciplined, all rounded midfielder but he's neither a truly world class defender, or attacker, or midfield general like the players above. In the same way we loved De Jong for his efforts defensively in an attacking side, we really love Fern for his efforts in these super attacking teams he's been in (Plus his growth under Pep has been a great watch).
He was to Touré what De Jong was to Barry. Just as important as Yaya, but not as good.
To be clear, I'm not saying he's anything less than a great player. Just overrated.

Might be blasphemy but Joe Hart 2012-2016 was very overrated.

Cheers. I trust your iircs more than I trust my iircs!Drink driving related iirc.
Bodak didn’t get a hat-trick in that game, but he scored a great lob to finish the game off at 3-1. Was at home and I think it was the 4th round, 1981/2, the season after we were runners up (all iirc!)
My mind is fading but I was in the Kippax that day. Over the shoulder volley??A majority of the time with us when "fit" he was exceptional, a debut made in heaven and a goal against Wolves at Maine Road, I think on Boxing Day that was a worldie. Happy days.
exactly, incredible goal and I think we went top as a result.My mind is fading but I was in the Kippax that day. Over the shoulder volley??
