Players you didn’t realise how good they were or appreciated them until they left.

[Buckshaw Blue]

Mangala and Bony.

I’m sensing sarcasm!

 

[mscenterh750]

Or Barnes, or White, or Wright-Phillips : )

Or Beagrie, or Cooke, or Simpson :)

Recently

Javi Garcia, once settled started to perform butcwill always be tarred with his settling in period.
Jerome Boeteng, if not for a stewardess trolley we may have got his peak bayern days not a year of missery for him and nothing for us.

In the past

Andy Hill, we seriously never replaced him with a truly decent rb until zaba
Darren Huckerby well liked but when people remenice he is hardly mentioned.
Jihai Sun and Ian Brightwell were doing this multi postion and adaptability thing long before Pep made it fashionable

 

[jimharri]

Anelka and Ireland.
All they were missing was a good manager ( or psychiatrist)

That last line is a killer! Along the same lines, Craig Bellamy. He was fantastic for us. In the 3-4 at the theatre of the leaking roof, Ferdinand was like a rabbit in the headlights when Bellamy was running at him. All that was missing was a golf club!

 

[Jezza11]

Sylvain distin

 

[dadnlad]

Eric Garcia

 

[BlueMoonRisin’]

Did you not know how good he was at the time?
He was far and away our best player

Id have been 14 when we sold him. Was in a car going to france when it came on the radio he was going spurs and i cried

Of course, I remember him fondly. Another one of Swales knew better meddling mistakes.

 

[Kippax Street 1880]

I might be the only one but I miss pre tantrum Cancelo

 

[City & Blue Brazil]

Paul Power

 

[Johnny Mars Bar]

Agreed on Mahrez.

I also don’t think Kolarov was as appreciated by some corners of our fanbase as much as he deserved.

Anelka and Ireland.

The only people who didn't appreciate Anelka were those who preferred a blue-arsed fly to a footballer.

Clichy more than Kolarov for me. He was the last reliable left footed full back we had!

 

[Akira]

Same as many posters here said. Mahrez for me. Didn't appreciate him enough when he was playing for us.

Creates goals, scores goals, keeps the ball well, and he's never injured.

 

[AndyP68]

Anelka was one of the best player’s we’ve ever had. And one of the most important. Had he not kept us up we’d have gone to our new home in the second tier, and I doubt the rest of what has happened would have followed.

 

[Big Swifty]

Paul Power

Good shout. Not a great player, but worked his socks off for City.

 

[gordondaviesmoustache]

Paul Power

Was criminally underrated by much of our support while he was here.

 

[Eric Hitchmough]

Mahrez
Palmer
Delap

 

[Asa's left peg]

Right now I'd love Nigel DeJong in the squad for tomorrow.
