Ali Benarbia

[PaleBlue]

Watched the "Planet Football" montage and had tears in my eyes - what a player, what a time to be alive!

God; I wish we'd got him when he was 3 or 4 years younger. I'm not saying he's as good (nowhere near), but he was the Merlin of that era.

Remember that time he got Lescott sent off, think he's still rolling away now is Benarbia!

A little festive treat.
He'd be a shoo-in even now.

What a fucking player he was.
Shame his assist for Huckerby against Barnsley wasn't on that clip

I think his passing was in the same ballpark as Silva's although he was doing it against lower quality opposition. His finishing was better though :-).

I am pretty impressed by some of the runs that Goater and co. made in the video clip on the other thread.

How much would a 25 year old Ali B be worth in today's market?

My favourite City season, the season we signed this guy. Fucking hell, we were good to watch.

Sheff weds away, think we won 6-2 and bernabia gave a masterclass. One of my favourite games ever because of him.

Great great player. Would not be out of place in our current side.

Quality player at the time & wow that was some season!!! but lets not kid ourselves he'd grace our side now, he'd be nowhere near it along with kinky ( opened that can of worms again ) :-/
