The 1996 bit has nothing to do with my age. I've been going to City since 1978.

For you, my friend, I will expand. He isn't in the best 5 players I've seen at City and would struggle to make my top 10.
Pro-posters are primarily talking about his skill and ability to thrill; I cannot think of five better and I've been watching them since the sixties.
cant under stand how he would not be in your top 10,but everybody does not see the same in each player.mcfc1996 said:OrigamiNinja said:Are all the other 628 of your posts so well thought out and as informative? If so I cant wait for your next contribution to the forum!

This is your opinion and that is fair enough! I am unsure which players you have seen and how you rate players is entirely up to you. You will note from my post I said he was the best player I (thats me, not you or anyone else) had ever seen in a City shirt. Now I will expand for you my friend, I am 30 years old, I was not alive to see the likes of Bell, Lee or Summerbee. I am more used to the likes of Brannan, Horlock and Creaney! Kinkladze was the only reason to turn up and watch us through that dire period, he made it worthwhile handing over money for a ticket! Now put him in our current team with the likes of Tevez and Adebayor playing in front of him and the likes of De Jong behind him offering protection and I think you have a real player on your hands!

So yo think he is so good because of what he could do as opposed to what he did do?

Yeah you got me; crap player.

Now my friend I respect your opinion and in a team with those jokers he would look good. But he failed to deliver many more times than he scored goals like the one against Southampton. There have been a number of players with significantly less ability than Gio and have done much in many more games.

How many times did he show his ability and skill?

regularly as I recall – I've said before he was not the complete player but there was never a more skilful player at City. Name one.
