Most Overrated Player to Play for City

Kinkladze. 6-7 great games. The rest of the time he was a passenger.

His career after leaving doesn't really help disprove my opinion.

Ali Benarbia was a far better player.

Ouch. I always thought he was superb (on the ball) maybe I just watched City games where he had a blinder?

Over rated? He was ridiculed by all and sundry in his first season with us. No one rated him

He totally turned it round with hard work and endevour. The amount of times he bailed us out with winning goals was unbelieveable. We would not be in the position we are in now without his goals dragging us kicking and screaming through the divisions.

I just don't understand where you get over rated from in regards to the goat as absolutely no one rated him in the beginning what so ever. I don't think there is a single player who has changed opinion as much as the Goat has.

He cost 360K and scored over 100 goals for us and you think he is over rated? What more could you possibly want out of him? His 3 goals against United alone were worth more than what we paid for him.
We actually made money on what we paid for him, when we sold him. I can't think of any other 30+ year old that we have sold and made money on.

His impact and contribution for our club in under rated imo. If anyone deserves cult status, it is the goat. He might not have been the most elegant footballer we have ever had, but he us arguably the most important imo.

He also scored the best ever mishit lob v Charlton when he tried to volley it
 
Overrated on here? If so, Name any kid who had a big reputation at youth level that was sold after minimal appearances and have since gone on to do fuck all in their careers. There’s been dozens and dozens of them in the last decade. We’ve produced the rags of 92 from our academy every year for the last 10 years according to some.

Away from the kids, Nolito. was pretty clear to me that old Iron Boots was shit from the start but a few tap ins early on had many believing otherwise.
 
Balotelli

Came with a big reputation, cost a lot of money and bar the odd bit here and there was bang average. Never really improved on the years he was here and his career afterwards was all too predictable. Well, I predicted he would be playing in Turkey, that hasn’t happened but the trajectory was the same

Down and down only trading on his name and antics

The original version totally agree, the Joe Corrigan who reinvented himself in the mid 70s was magnificent. If it was not for the fact of Peter Shilton and Ray Clemence, Joe would have had a century of England Caps.

Never forget sitting behind him when he was on the bench for us at Maine Road, we were playing Coventry.

He had a face like thunder and was giving the bench the evil eye, one very angry individual.

Yaya was a big match player , the bigger the game the better he played , he was a colossus for our club at his peak and he could take penalties.

The great players turn up on the biggest and greatest occasion just when they are required, that's what makes them great's and why they are paid a fortune.

Yaya Toure was a magnificent player and it was an honour to watch him in the peak years of his career.
