Most Overrated Player to Play for City

George Weah. Was the football equivalent of a 1970 triumph stag with rust up to the sills and no engine when we signed him.

Met Joe Royle a few years ago at a local get together.

I asked him why Weah was pushed out, he said his legs were completely fucked and only realised after he signed for us.

Oh how I miss the good old days!

At the very same do was Chappy who spent the evening slagging Mancini.....and I quote ‘Luckiest bastard in the World.....with that team Fergie would have finished 20 points clear’
 
Peter Bodak. I hated him. He ruined us in one game v Coventry (cup match?), might've scored a hat trick but could be wrong. Pundits raved about him. Then we signed him...

Oh well, thought I, at least he'll be ruining other teams on our behalf now. Except no he didn't.

Got sacked along with Bobby Mac if I'm not mistaken. I hate Peter Bodak.

Drink driving related iirc.

Bodak didn’t get a hat-trick in that game, but he scored a great lob to finish the game off at 3-1. Was at home and I think it was the 4th round, 1981/2, the season after we were runners up (all iirc!)
 
OP mentioning NDJ, are you having a laugh?? Pivotal part of fa cup and first CL qualification followed by the league (pass into aguero for that 1-2 with mario)

Most overrated city player in my time as a blue... I'm omitting players like Bradbury, vaughan etc because although they were shite at least they tried.... Boateng for me, came with the big rep (and to be fair did great at Bayern) but didn't fancy it and couldn't give a fuck. Utter twat. Dishonorable mentions for McPointy"you're right there Fletch"Manaman and Dave Ponytail Semen (not a typo)
 
Alan Kernaghan. He was rated by the Irish press for a while somewhere around 93’ when we qualified for USA 94
 
Robinho
Samaras
George Weah, much like Robinho was billed as the worlds best player for some time before he arrived. I know he was on the decline but.
I don’t remember thinking he was anywhere near the best player in the world when we had him briefly. But I remember him being devastating for Milan. He could make football Italia a lot less boring just before Lovejoy of a Sunday evening
