It's either Txiki doesn't know a good player other than the obvious ones......or our scouts don't......or the manager doesn't (certainly him that wasted £6m on a second choice sub standard keeper when we were restricted with funds)
Another option is that he looked better in a lower standard league and they hoped he'd adjust and come good - after all, most teams gamble on players from time to time and it quite often doesn't work out, occasionally with hilarious results (eg Kleberson, Bebe etc). In City's defence, we were working with a limited budget.
