Best player we brought in on loan or free?

[citymad]

According to Wiki, yes, £7mill. As long as it pissed of the Arsenal fans I'm all for it. Adebayor, Nasri, Sagna, Viera, Arteta, Clichy. Adebayor's goal celebration is still the best ever for me.

Think it's time we went shopping again at Arsenal. I like the look of Smith Rowe. Looks a real talent.

Didn’t we sign Riera (the Spanish winger with zero pace that went onto play for Liverpool) and Beasley on loan?

 

[denislawsbackheel]

Someone might shoot me down here , but didnt we get Tony Coleman from Doncaster Rovers on a free transfer because of his discipinary problems , if he was a free transfer , there is none better. He was a tenacious winger with a never say die attitude and could play a bit ,a short lived career at our club but he made a massive contribution to our '68 title team and '69 FA Cup win.

We paid £14,000 for TC.

Terry Cooke, did he play 99 games and if he played 100 we had to buy him from them lot

Signed he fully after about 15 games or else we would not have had him for the end of the season with the 96 day emergency loan limit. Royle thanked Fergusson for assisting the deal to go through.

Daniel Van Buyten is one who springs to mind for me because he was too good for us at the time. He only played 6 games for us, (one being the 4-1 win over Utd). But he looked like an absolute world beater. However, I seem to remember we couldn't/wouldn't lump up the fee at the time and then he came out and said he didn't want to stay at City either. He went to Hamburg instead, and then signed for Bayern Munich where he won everything possible.

He cost a fortune just to get him on loan, was injured for the vast majority of the loan and wasn't great bar 1 game.

He wasn't Rosler demanding we sign him.

Mpenza was a great loan signing in 2007, his goals probably kept us up that dire, dire season.

Only zisss

and there's no "probably" about it

 

[Cityfan]

As an academy player didn't we get SWP as a reject from Forest because he was too small.

You never know, if we hadn't got him a few might have bounced off vassell and gone in when the useless **** wasn't looking.

What a bargain that was then , i think Joe Mercer referred to him as a rough diamond

 

[Karl8]

Dereck Parlane.

 

[Karl8]

Did we pay a fee for Tommy Hutch .?

 

[LongsightM13]

Did we pay a fee for Tommy Hutch .?

£35,000 iirc

 

[Sky Blue Thinking]

Peter Schmeichel did a job for us as a free, as did Stuart Pearce as a player.

 

[tregyblue61]

Has to be Ronnie Ekelund shirley?

 

[Impeccable One]

Dzeko at the swamp for me when he had to ask Kolarov how many we'd scored.

Don’t think we’ve had a thread of our greatest goal celebrations by players ? Might be hard digging up the vids that continue to show the celebration?

 

[Gareth Barry Conlon]

He cost a fortune just to get him on loan, was injured for the vast majority of the loan and wasn't great bar 1 game.

He wasn't Rosler demanding we sign him.

Not how I recall it. He was a rock of a cb.

Some loans I remember:
Dalian Atkinson
Peter Beardsley
Mark Robins
Kanchelskis

Free Transfers:
McPointy
George Weah
Danny Mills IAC
Trabelsi
Geovanni
Seaman
Aarason (The Icelandic keeper who had a couple of great games for us the 4-3 at Spurs in the cup)

We've had a lot of washed up rags turn out for us over the years.
