Best City Cameos

[jay_mcfc]

Which players spring to mind when you think of best cameos for City? Either they were good for a short spell then went to shit or were good and left within a year.

David Rocastle: Barely had his feet in the door and he was off. I was gutted!

Spencer prior: Leftfield choice here but he was brilliant in his first six months and scored a few vital goals.

Negredo: Unreal first few months but sadly tailed off after picking up an injury.

Terry Cooke: (loan spell) He was great during his loan spell and definitely helped us get promotion from div 2. He actually reminded us of what a half decent footballer could do.

Viera / Lampard: Both had decent loan spells with us.

I'm sure there are loads but that's off the top of my head.

Great shout that! The old joke 'City nedded to buy ten not buy Buyten'.

Another myth
He had a half decent game vs the rags and in the others he was very mediocre, culminating in him having an absolute shocker at Leeds and getting sent off

The whole Van Buyten being brilliant for us is purely because we beat the rags

Maurizio Gaudino had a real positive impact during his loan

 

[Gareth Barry Conlon]

I disagree - i think he was one of the best defenders we have ever had in a blue shirt. His subsequent career in Germany backs that up.

I player with massive quality when we had little. Liked his cars.

I didn't say he was a poor player, just that he was not as good for us as people seem to remember

Completely disagree. He was class (except that Leeds game!)
