Any past or present City player everybody seems to rate but you don't

[knuckles]

Probably ..cos he wasn,t.
He was red.so looking back I can see why you had that view of him..

Still liked him though,and I thought he was quality,a proper old school centre forward(for City)..,never pulled out of a challenge.
Would batter the ball into the net given half a chance..I remember Birmingham City at home...few weeks after we had beaten Huddersfield 10-..1...it was nil nil.Maine road was flat,nothing happening,one of those days where there was no atmosphere at all...Stewart got the ball,spun the the centre half,and Battered the ball into the net..from distance.
.Maine rd erupted. Won 3nil I think.

Lol that explains it! - Yes he was decent enough (well for us at the time!) just didn't like the guy, mind you I also didn't like Wayne Biggins either - Maybe because they looked similar?

Colin Bell. Couldn't pass, couldn't tackle…

No left foot and couldn't head the ball if I recall.

I was going to say George Weah, but once we'd all seen the fat old fucker bore no resemblance to the player of the previous decade I'm not sure anyone rated him. Honourable mention also to Peter Beardsley who's mid 90's stint was apparently cut short by a cleaner making Quasimodo jokes.

Robinho , world class rated striker but was only signed on deadline day to raise the profile of our club and was the epitome of the term "mercenary" , he joined for the money , not the project or the club or the manager. But his signing did the job because other star players signed like Yaya who actually gave a f*ck and were great signings , but Robinho will always be classed as a disappointment in my humble opinion, but he would have suited the Rags down to the ground , how many shirts would he have sold at the Swamp ?

I get what you are saying - and agree, but I really liked Robinho, class player and brought some great football to us, also the game against arse just wow! But with that said he obviously didn't seem to know anything about City before he joined us !!

Is that you Mal?

 

[LangleyBlue1970]

Sterling, always said he's not a footballer

Hart, a few magnificent performances but distribution was crap, couldnt dive to his left and was a bellend

Clichy, totally limited full back who was 20 years after his time, would have been great in the early 90s

Kelechi, bang bang average yet everyone loved him

Benjani, scored at their place, shite apart from that

I could go on

Got to say, never saw the Kelechi hype either. It was like he was our great hope.

Van Buyten. Clearly went on to have a great career and prove himself as a fantastic player but to me, he was nothing special during his loan spell contrary to common belief.

 

[David White]

Keith Curle for me. I remember people praising him but I never took to him and never thought he was decent. He was a poser in my opinion

His first game he was immense. Just the presence he had.
Then he wasn’t so immense. Similar to Mangala.

Did you have beef with him in the dressing room?

 

[Lavinda Past]

Can't find it - wanted to see who the "bigwigs" were.

It was page 4

Enjoy!

This is odd man, so he's training in Manchester by himself?

The mind plays tricks but from memory I went to either Leeds or Liverpool away and he got caught out and sent off. Pretty sure in the other game he made a mistake for the goal.

Kaka. He was supposed to be so incredible and he never did shit for us.

A lot of you won't even remember him but I do because I have a tattoo.

Samaras

 

[Sir peace frog]

never got the hype with david silva to be honest, he wont get a statue like kompany

Shite. Him - not you!

 

[Sir peace frog]

personally think stephen ireland was over rated, he only became "good" when robinho had 5 men marking him and he got lots of space, he was a buzz at the time with the superman stuff,but his shooting star did not last much longer after robinho left

 

[schfc6]

Cant believe no one has said goater yet, he was more donkey than goat, first touch was his last most of the time, but somehow he had a knack of scoring goals

He was a true enigma, the lads I went with at the time used to say it was like being 1-0 up but with 10 men. Dickov was like being 1-0 down but with an extra player.
