Excited when they signed but turned out to be rubbish

Navas didnt pull up trees but he bloody worked his heart out for the team. Nasri was top quality in a lot of games although could've been so much more. Bravo was decent as a back up keeper, great in pen shootouts. As for the other two Mendy and Mangala I totally agree with, they were rubbish players.
 
For me it's Mendy - streets ahead of the rest in terms of disappointment bearing in mind how well he did at Monaco. I really got excited when we signed him. 2nd place is Samaras - £6m was a lot of dosh for City in those days. Another big let down for me was Tony Cunningham - he came with a reputation as being a more than capable striker in the old 2nd Div (now the Championship) but turned out to be a duffer for us.

Tend to agree with above post in response to this. Nasri was a very talented player, very good during 13/14 title winning season though seemed to have quite an 'attitude problem'.
Navas , I felt was always committed but struggled with the physicality of the English game.
Bravo got some stick but didn't fill me with any real confidence.
The other 2, the less said the better!!

Nasri scored a belter away at Roma. Unfortunately like all the above, the quality was few and far between.

Oops misspelled. Trousers made of wool that mothers made their sons wear in the 70s either because they were cruel or they wouldn't believe how prickly they really were. The thoughts of it make me feel uneasy. Sort of similar to me thinking of Garcia in midfield. Shudder.

It was a wool & camel pube mix if I remember correctly

Itchy as fuck
 
That lazy pup Aguero other than a half decent debut v a two bit Swansea team did nowt else and lucky with that tap in v a poor qpr team.
Likewise Kompany injury prone , D Silva greedy , Zabietta, showboater no guts,

As for the current team why pep picks the belgian Kev de brainer only he knows , a poor mans Barry Conlon and dont set me off about Ederson , no wonder Bravo didnt extend his deal. Fodens another no match for Jamie Pollock.
 
Not read the whole thread but I remember thinking George Weah was going to be a great signing, I think its fair to say he wasnt.
