Underwhelmed when they signed but turned out to be pretty good

Craig Bellamy, a bit petulant at times but he really knew how to finish

I was buzzing when we got him.
Always thought he was a top player through out his career.

I’ll never forget what some lad who sits near me said one game years ago,

“He’s a bit fucking shit Gareth Barry but he gets the job done”

Thought it was a bit harsh but I get what he meant by it.

Good professional but I reckon Zabba still hasn't forgiven him for the undercooked pass that had him sent off in the Wigan final

I'll go for Paul Walsh. Was an ok player in my head but real class in reality. Great on the floor but exc header of a ball too for a small guy. Shame we didn't have him for longer.

Alex Harley

Bony. He turned out to be far better than I expected.

Classic City fan humour .

Fernandinho

Andy Cole and Vassell

Andy Morrison. I recall we were struggling to raise the £80k to buy some shit centre half I'd never heard of from Huddersfield (?). Thought that was proof we'd hit rock bottom, in reality, there'd have been lower to go if we hadn't got him.

 

[Bluemoon115]

Fernadinho.

Never heard of him.

Fuck me, what an absolute player, professional, leader, guy, everything.

Shame Paulinho turned out to be better...
