Most Overrated Player to Play for City

[SatOnTheWall]

David Seaman. Thought we had signed a top keeper but we had signed some geriatric instead. I was very disappointed.

 

[Norbiton]

George Weah, but we might not have caught him at his best and it was quite funny seeing his reaction when the crowd were calling for the Goat rather than him

 

[Kinkybyname]

Jo - close thread.

 

[Corky]

David Silva.

 

[hilts]

I would say Steve Mcpointy, he was 31 when he joined so hardly over the hill, was a very good player for Liverpool which I saw a lot of his games. He was utter dogshit for us.

 

[dickie davies]

Valeri Bojinov
He became a better player every day he was injured

And controversially, Mario Baloteli

 

[Dunne's own goal]

David Silva.

 

[mattcity5]

Robbie Fowler.

 

[Sky Blue Thinking]

Always thought Shay Given was a bit overrated. Yes, he was a good shot stopper but didnt command his area and seemed to stay on his line a lot. Still a decent keeper but not a great one for me although others may disagree.

 

[IrishBloodEnglishHeart]

Overrated as in City fans rated him but you think he wasn't good? There's a few mentioned already that City fans didn't even rate, so not sure who overrated them.

I'd go with Alvarez. A lot of City fans seem to remember him as being what Haaland is. He was nowhere near.

Sounds like Donurruma

Wilfried Bony was a huge let down, big money target man signing all cos of a purple patch at Swansea, so much so they waved Dzeko out the door without giving him a second thought

Benjani was very underwhelming other than his derby winner, he seemed to be scoring every week at Pompey for a while then was bang average when he turned up

Same goes for Roque Santa Cruz, could barely get on the pitch when he was here

And then there’s Jo…

Strikers aside, special mention for Grealish (never ever a £100m player), foam hands Claudio Bravo and Mendy (looked a machine at Monaco that season, couldn’t defend for toffee when he turned up at City)

Claudio Bravo . Nowhere to hide if you're a goalie .

Trevor Francis . Too many injuries sadly .

 

[Man_City_Loyal]

Weah
Bojinov
Mcpointy
Fowler
Seaman
Savinho

 

[Cellarite]

Oscar Bobb was a decent young prospect until he got injured. The longer he was out, the more of a Ballon d'Or contender he became.

 

[Callmev]

Mcpointy for me but because of his career overall. Same as Beckham, for me he has a player made larger than he actually was because of red media.
Fowler on the other hand somewhat delivered.

I also agree with Bobb.

 

[dickie davies]

Yeah, but his hat trick vs arsenal was epic


Crosses fingers

I remember some of our fans saying Sanè would get a Balon d'Or

 

[I'm not really here]

Robinho

Had his moments, but was very disappointing overall

 

[BringBackSwales]

Berti Glauber

Or was it Glauber Berti

Not sure, never saw the fucker
