Players who should have played for City.

Effenberg was a target on a free transfer in the summer of 2002. I still had contacts in the club back then and believe that City really thought he'd sign but he ended up going to Wolfsburg. We took Marc-Vivien Foe on loan from Lyon instead.

Bosvelt came the next summer as a replacement for Foe after the latter's untimely death. City had been hopeful of clinching a permanent deal for Foe that summer, and, according to Robbie Fowler's autobiography, Foe told his teammates he'd be back for the following campaign. But there were other clubs looking to disrupt that deal and it's possible we could've been outbid.

In any case, it proved to be a moot point for the saddest of reasons. Bosvelt had been our top alternative to a permanent deal for Foe that summer, and following the latter's tragic death, we signed the Dutchman.

Don’t post stuff on here but Paul Bosvelt was a nice guy. He lived in my house for a couple of years while I worked abroad. Came round with his agent to view, and deal agreed on the spot. Paul was more interested in my sons electric guitar than the house. Only stipulation was that every wall had to be painted white ( Dutch thing apparently) - when we moved back in after he left in 2005, inscribed on the wall in the concrete blocks of my garage was Feyenoord in big letters.
 
Nedum Ohouha is not safe in America. Sign him back to support the first team. I met him at a supporters club meet. His blood was analysed and came back MCFC
 
Eidur Gudjohnsen could’ve been the player to build a team around. I bet he wasn’t playing for Chelsea as often as he liked.
