mpenza. was about a billion times better than the shite we had when we got him.

Vuoso, After intially thinking a fan had got on pitch at Preston friendly I thought he settled well..

 

[Rorz88]

Barton. And guess what, if he'd have had his head screwed on I still think he could have been brilliant for us for the past couple of years. We've got the players with the talent and the skill and we could really have done with someone with his engine, drive and aggression in the middle of the park

I also liked Trabelsi, he had a cracking world cup at right back before we signed him

I'll also go with Bianchi

Lucien Mettomo

agree with all of them

 

[Blue_Lion]

Elano

 

[samharris]

joey is a good shout, could do with him right now.

Just say no :)

Lee Bradbury or Lee Peacock..........













Only joking

Marc Vivien Foe. Great engine. Great box to box and knew how to tackle. I knew some who just didn't rate him. Very fitting that he scored the last ever City goal at Maine Road.

R.I.P. Marc

Dont really fir in this thread as i think everyone loved him, i did thought he was absolute legend
Became very obvious how well he made the team after his passing away

This isn't true, actually.

During his only season here he was the victim of a bit of stick and often turned in some very, very average/below average displays. Especially compared to how he had played earlier in his career.

As with any sad event there was a certain rewriting of history when he passed away. Now he is remembered by some as an immense presence in City's midfield who had a huge effect. And this wasn't true.

I remember at the end of that season I was quite keen for Keegan to sign him as I felt that there was more to come from him and had always been a fan. However, even as a fan of him before he arrived here I found him quite disapointing whilst he was here. Despite that I hoped they would stump up and give him a go, but I was pretty certain that, based on his performances here, City would not meet the steep asking price.

It's a sort of unspeakable truth and it doesn't bother me in the slightest as I really liked the bloke, but the way some people speak of MVF (as a Manchester City footballer, I'm not talking about as a person or about the tragic event that befell him) is ludicorus and proof of the fact that early death massively alters perceptions.

I never mention this on here when there is the usual MVF threads as I know that, despite it being nothing of the sort, it will probably be taken as an insult or derogatory. Perhaps on this thread it will be treated differently as the jist of this thread is different, so I feel it is a fair talking point.

If people don't recall him being viewed by the crowd as very hit and miss in his general performances here over the season (scored a few goals though, iirc) then I suggest that either they were not there or are having their memory blurred by subsequent events.
