Reeves and Francis played well in combination but sadly they didn't have enough time together.

Reeves was really skilful and held the ball up well, but he didn’t score enough goals.

Remember going to watch City against Legia Warsaw in a friendly as a kid and was told it was his home debut game (not sure it was true). He scored but never saw it as we'd already left when they scored the 5th despite my protests. Think the game was part of the Deyna deal.

On top of the tractors!

Still remember Reeves saying words to the effect of his target being around 15 league goals a season, but with Francis that would rise to 20, don’t think that happened, but they were a very effective pairing.

Yes , Robinson was decent in the end (and think he scored the winner against united in his short spell), can't remember who shipped him out if it was Allison or Bond but think we was still early 20s and went on to have a decent enough career.

If it was the Maine road derby (2-0) think he scored the second one, maybe Tony Henry the first ?

Probably the other way round given my memory at times.

Might be related to someone that knows about a certain center mid has signed, 2 and 2 looks good on a English blue

Unconventional, but with a better midfield behind them could have been great.

Francis was the first world class City player since Bell and until Tevez. He was an incredible striker. Reeves was skilful and intelligent. And held the ball up well. Could have been an interesting combination with City’s current best midfield of four behind them.

Yes class player Francis. his debut at Stoke was one of the great away days.

He's got a great trick where he looks at the camera and the reporter at the same time.
Another bitter wanker who talks shite.

Reckon there were more than half as many blues there that day than as for his home debut.
