Played for City but never should have

[Bald fraud]

I don’t know. I’d keep him for the elbow. Love a bit of fight like that. If Savinho had 5% of that he’d be a much better player

He was lucky he wasn’t up for manslaughter for that elbow!

 

[blue moony]

Rolando Bianchi, Jo, Negoui, Kalvin Phillips, Corradi, Danny Mills, Jamie Pollack, I was never keen on Nicky Summerbee, or Murtaz Sheila

Not having Bianchi.. was a player there

 

[Abattoir Blue]

Cole wasn't a rag he just played for them. And he was about the only player who could get the best out of Darius bloody Vassell.

Cole did a decent job for City tbf in a very ordinary team. Was a rag though (somewhere between Schmeichel and Tevez on the rag spectrum)!

Sammy McIlroy.

 

[Spurs quarter 69]

Cole did a decent job for City tbf in a very ordinary team. Was a rag though (somewhere between Schmeichel and Tevez on the rag spectrum)!

His great years were at Newcastle, had spells with the rags when he couldn't hit a cows arse with a shovel. Not universally loved by rag fans,OT just a stop on journey man's career

He's not a bona fide legend but was at United for 6 years, scored 100+ goals, won 5 titles and the treble...probably similar standing to Sterling/Mahrez/Dzeko for us.

 

[TShed]

Peter Bodak (rag and he fucked up Bobby Macs career)
Beardsley
Andrew Cole

 

[TShed]

RSC sure this was a bent deal with Hughes getting a back hander

 

[Uncle Wally One Ball]

Wilfred Bony, especially considering what he cost at the time.

Bony ended up costing us nothing beyond the first initial payment. No big fuss about made and all kept in house between the clubs, but he didnt cost us much at all in the end, I have had this from senior people at Swansea City

 

[BTH]

Gary Megson, Robbie Fowler and Nery Castillo.

 

[Silvatoure21]

Mangala
Nolito
Phillips
Sinclair

 

[IrishBlueSince92]

Schmeichel

 

[I'm Blue]

None of them.
Like every great journey you meet a few bellend’s along the way ; )

 

[Sheik Battle and Goal]

You could turn this around and then you’d have
aguero
D silva
Yaya
kompany
Zabaleta


All could have picked other clubs but played for us

 

[horlock_was_super]

Mick Channon.
Wayne Clarke.
Pointy scouser.

 

[Lee the Blue]

Where to start

Rodney Marsh - flash cockney who Mal loved but cocked up a likely title winning team

McIlroy - why?

Bobby Shinton - bloody awful

Terry Park - won a comp to play for us I think

Bill Williams - see above

Mark Ward - an odious little ****

Robert Hopkins - legend in his own mind

Ged Brennan - absolute tripe

Buster Phillips - stature of an anorexic

Barry Conlon - looked like a Bus Conductor

Martyn Margetson - arguably the worst City keeper I've ever seen, and I saw John Burridge & Barry Siddall

Christian Negouai - If we'd had a volleyball team he'd have been ideal

Simon Colosimo - like an extra from Neighbours who wandered into our training ground

And a side nomination of should never have been
manager to Alan Ball and Mark Hughes.

 

[BlueFurn]

Peter Bodak (rag and he fucked up Bobby Macs career)
Beardsley
Andrew Cole

Peter Bodak… we played a pre season friendly at Rhyl, he was playing, the only one on the team sheet I had ever heard of.
He wasn’t good
Ever.
We lost 3-0
Other than the football it was a good day out..

 

[Mad Eyed Screamer]

Ben Thatcher

Woeful.
I emailed the City reporter at the time he left the club (can’t recall who it was, maybe Chris Bailey) and suggested the headline be Thatcher Out!
Sadly it was ignored…..

 

[Mad Eyed Screamer]

Mangala
Nolito
Phillips
Sinclair

David Phillips was a great signing for us! To swap him for Perry Suckling was criminal.

Graeme Sinclair played in the Chelsea loss in the League Cup and the loss at Pompey a few days later - one of Billy McNeill’s 10 Jocks he signed or loaned!

 

[traditionalleesy]

I am pal.
But the point I’m trying (and failing ) to get across is players that just not did feel right in a city shirt. Not whether we’re any good or not.
Lampard played well for us. But it didn’t sit well with me.
Fowler scored v United but I will never see him as a City player.
Schmeichel had the game of his life at Anfield but he will never be a blue.
We flocked to see Trevor Francis but he never had no affinity towards City.
But maurizio gaudino is welcome at my table anytime.

I’ll go to bed now

Bet Maurizio drives to your house in a taxed and insured car!!
