Tevez. I know he was rated but he is often left out of conversations about our best ever players (probably because of his off field antics). But, for 2 seasons he was unbelievable. For me, 2010/2011 Tevez is in the same bracket as Aguero/Silva/Toure.

Keiran Trippier by Manchini.
Even in pre-season games didn't ever seem to look at him, if memory serves me right.
Appeared to have more time for Greg Cunningham who played left back in same youth team.
I know there was a lot of competition for the right back position but Trippier should have been looked after better as a long term prospect. He was always extremely impressive in our strong youth team.

I’d say we probably overrate Ali B as we weren’t used to having anyone with that level of skill. He hadn’t done much in France before coming to us.
He was probably ahead of his time. He’d be an awesome 8 for Pep in his pomp.
Won the French league with Monaco, then moved to Bordeaux and won it with them, winning Ligue 1 player of the season also.
To say overrated is mad, though you're right about us not being used to seeing quality.
His biggest quality though, was that he lifted the performances of all around him, even though most of them were pretty mediocre. He made his teammates better players. Shame he was on his last legs when he arrived here.

I liked Michael Hughes, strange how he left and where he went to at the time.

Agreed, he was a really good prospect and already held his own in the team.

He left because he was out of contract, we had no manager and no chairman. We were an utter shambles.Good shout. And I know for a fact that he liked the club more than some people realise.
Even I would have left City that summer in similar circumstances
Meanwhile James fucked off to the same club for double money, under the guise of spurious family reasons, and got a hero’s welcome from the South stand while Distin got a load of shit. Never understood that
