His first game at Liverpool he was at fault for the opening goal, his last game was a bit unlucky with the penalty, sending off and injury, he only had 5 games and we lost 3. He played well like the entire team v united but he was a very poor loan for the money we paid, the number of games he played and the results.
Best player we brought in on loan or free?

This Kiki Musampa disrespect will not stand!
More serious answer from me would be Mpenza. His goals kept us up in 07, without him Thaskin doesnt buy the club and well... who knows where we'd be
Van Buyten a few years prior to that, but I might be taking into account his post city career and remembering him more fondly than what's merited
Was Demichelis a free? Cant remember if we got him free or for a small fee from Atletico who had gotten him on a free

Was Mpenza a free? I thought we bought him.
Demichelis (like Hamann) moved on a free, and then we bought them the same summer. He cost like £3m.

Nah I remember him being an absolute colossus. Won absolutely everything in the air. But obviously he only played about 5 games so we're looking back at the potential rather than the actual City career.
For me, it'd have to be Marc-Vivien Foe. 9 goals in a season from midfield was a big deal for us back then.

Graeme Sinclair, Duncan Davidson and Gordon Dalziel will take some beating. Then add to that Mike Walsh and David fuckin' Johnson, wow. Billy Mc was the best in the business at loans. What the fuck did Swales do for our wonderful club?

Micheal Branch, didn’t we get him on loan from Everton? Looked a quality player in the first half of the 1998/99 season but as with City at the time we couldn’t afford him. He might have got a couple against Oldham at Boundary park if my memory serves me correct. Sat in the home end and the entire stand jumped up every time we scored.
Think we got Terry Cooke on loan after Branch had to go back to Everton, some good wheeler dealing at the time by Joe Royle.

All I can remember of him is a lovely goal from outside the area v Birmingham in whatever guise the League Cup was then apart from that he was a waste of kit material.
