Ex-City Players You Have Rose-Tinted Glasses For

[MarsLlama]

Looking for players that were either divisive or unpopular when they were playing for us, but that you remember fondly.

I'd have to start with Aleksandar Kolarov, whose flaws I always liked to overlook. Now I mostly remember the goals and the season he played at centre-back and was genuinely very good.

I'll be fond of Phillips when we eventually fuck him off out of the door.

 

[J.G.Blue.]

Oh, Rodney Rodney, I thought he was a fantastic player when I was a kid & still one of the most skilful players I have ever seen, I realise quite a few blues didnt see it the same way.

Demichelis - a dying breed of slow but a brilliant defender in terms of reading the game and calmness.

Special mention to Fernando too.

Was he really divisive at the time, though? I don't remember it like that. As I remember it, the vast majority of fans were made up.
I think it's been a revisionist thing over the years about him costing us the title. I still don't believe that's true.
