The WTF players City bought

[Dave Ewing's Back 'eader]

robinho!

Apart from Sergio minute ninety odd plus a few seconds, has anyone scored a better goal at The Etihad than Robinho's against The Arse - the little scoop of ice cream over the top of the totally exposed and advancing Almunia, or Almeria, or was it Alma Cogan?

so to be clear this thread is about top City signings that made you swoon?

All the Georgians not named Kinkladze we signed! Kavelashvili, Shelia, etc. What was the story behind that anyway, was it to keep Kinky happy or did we have a scout over there?

The mighty murt was quality, just a shame injury forced him to knock it on the head!

I think a lot of the posters have mentioned the names of players who turned out to be bad buys, not signings that really made you scratch your head.

In a good way, Tevez and Robinho, after a decade of shitness it was strange to see players like this sign for the club.

In a bad way, letting Johnson go and bringing Sinclair in. This past summers transfer business as a whole was a wtf letdown.

EDIT: What I meant was; who were the players city bought and you went "What the hell, why did we buy him? This is weird "

It doesn't neccessarily mean that he sucks but itès not a wow signing like Robinho at the time or Aguero.

Sorry about the confusion
