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

I was actually a fan of Bellamy not a person I thought he was a bellend buy have everything in the pitch so could never fault his effort personally.
As for Shay Given I thought he was absolutely shit could never see the hype around him bang average keeper. He obviously looked good at Newcastle because he had to make numerous saves week in week out even at that he would concede 4 or 5 and still get man of the match because Newcastle got battered most weeks.
The amount of times he was stuck to his line and never come off it, His kicking was dreadful too.
As a possibly biased Irishman, Given gave his best years to the barcodes.

Wasn't great at dominating the box, never was, but for one and one's and great saves he was brilliant. Pure reaction goalkeeper who was fucked when he got older.

Also a lovely bloke.
 
Gabriel Jesus, Unfortunately I have never taken to him. Too much like Jermaine Defoe and Nicholas Anelka, and Darius Vassell. All promise no substance.
why we have held on to him for as long as we have is beyond me.
 
I believe, if my memory serves me correctly, he was player of the year for a couple of seasons. Ouch!
He won it one season not two, the year we got relegated ! I don't think many fans vote in those polls other than supporters club members who are a small percentage of our overall support. Also as a team we were crap in them days.Nobody I knew rated him in fact I recall he was regarded as daddy's boy who took the very popular Nicky Reids place. Nice lad though !
 
Richard Dunne for me. Yes he made some decent last ditch tackles but only because he had usually made a mistake before and needed to scramble to make up for it. All those own goals too.

scored more goals than dzeko in less appearances, most of which off the bench...
 
Another..... David James, never ever rated him, for every five spectacular saves he'd always drop a bollock.
From memory, James hardly made any mistakes playing for City. All his proper high profile blunders happened when playing for England
