Nonsense !

Maybe the only one was a bit hyperbolic on my part. Another 3 off the top of my head.

Even the President of Liberia turned out for us in the Good Old Days!

 

[Grassland Blue]

Out of all the players who have played for us in the premier league pre the take over, Anelka was the only one good enough to get in our current squad imo.

Gio, Van Buyten and Ali B might have something to say about that...

Premier League only I think ?

Top quality striker, I'd forgive him any amount of moodiness for the sheer joy of that winner at Anfield.

 

[Dr Jacoby]

He could have been as good as Henry. Le Sulk had all the ability in the world.

Anelka and SWP (before he was ruined by Chelsea) were amongst the best players I saw in a city shirt before the takeover.

 

[Blue Hefner]

Fowlers biography was a good read, he would make runs and Anelka wouldn’t bother passing to him. He used to try and ruff up and kick off with the youth players in training. I did enjoy that goal he scored at Anfield though.

Fowler, run? That’s a good one

I’d have City Anelka over City Fowler any day of the week

It was more of a waddle than a run from my memory, not to forget his chum McManaman pointing aimlessly and Danny Mills just being a bell end. We had some right tits playing for us back then.

Thanks.

But the point still stands.

And the sheer joy of the first at Maine Road on 9/11/02.

 

[Citizen Green]

Hated the moody fucker if I'm honest, a proper bighead.
Fowler said in his autobiography that he was always late and everyone had to wait for him for training to start, said keegan was too soft with him.
Great goalscorer and great player but he never really looked like he wanted to be here half the time.

Think I might give it a swerve.

Give me Anelka over Fowler any day of the week, how he can comment on professionalism when he was a stone overweight the full time he was at City is beyond me.

 

[Gabriel]

Was on a treadmill next to him a couple of years ago. Didn’t actually realise that’s who it was initially, but did that stupid thing of trying to match his stride and pace. Lasted about 90 seconds before I started looking around nervously for the defibrillator; he didn’t break sweat.

There was a reason we called him Blobby Fowlup

 

[Pell]

Give me Anelka over Fowler any day of the week, how he can comment on professionalism when he was a stone overweight the full time he was at City is beyond me.

And when he left us to rejoin Liverpool he said something along the lines of 'now its time to get fit' or words to that effect.

 

[ScottSinclair]

Peak Sweep would be great under Pep
A injury and demon free Michael Johnson would have set the world alight. And Pep would have loved his technique and intelligence on the ball
Distin would actually have been awesome with Laporte

 

[Ban-jani]

He’d be perfect for us now, in his pomp.

Quality player.

this...if ever a player didn't want to be somewhere it was Fowler....

pissed me off when he scored in the derby and gave the 5 times to the rags behind the goal. He wanted to retire at one point, Pearce and Keegan has to talk him out of it. Soon perked up when the dippers came in for him.
