As much as I love him I have to say The Goat, I'm afraid.

Despite over 100 goals?

Of course, as that is an undeniable fact, or at least 84 is ;-)

When we've signed some top European strikers in the last few years I've heard and read supporters use Goater as a benchmark for them.

This is a guy we signed from Bristol City (when he was approaching his peak) and sold to Reading. I love him, love the way he stuck at it after a lot of abuse and he scored some truly memorable goals (Wigan play off semi; Blackburn promotion; last Maine Road Derby x2) but he was a fairly limited player who scored 13 Premier League goals in two seasons.

It says a lot about our club and its supporters that he remains a legend to this day as it shows we haven't forgotten where we've come from, but as a player he is vastly overrated by many City fans.

Which makes him six or seven times a better forward than the regular England starter Danny Wellshit

Kinkladze for me and Joey Barton
 
Dickov didn't score enough goals despite his cult status.

I thought Foe didn't offer enough other than a some goals from midfield.

And Tiatto despite his industry, was a liability at times.

Love all three though.

Joe Hart and I doubt his distribution can improve all that much.

You come out with some shit at times mate.

He might have had a rough patch last season but he is NOT over-rated.

By that measure you might as well say Sergio Aguero...
