What City player was most over rated by our own fans

[greasedupdeafguy]

Barry but underrated by opposition fans

Denis Law... What can we look back on that was any good?

Law was only 20 when City signed him just before deadline day in March 1960. At the end of the following season he was transferred to Torino. He wasn't around for very long but he was a shining light in an abysmal side. He came back in 1973-74 and scored THAT goal but clearly the rags had the best of him.

Corradi ..... His pace was overrated.

 

[carlos tevez is a blue]

Balotelli. Still waiting on him morphing into the new Zlatgod or fat Ronaldo.

12 goals in 13 games since he left seems like a pretty decent start.

Boom.

Kazi Deyna. Brilliant when he played in Poland, he comes to City in a swop deal for washing machines etc, puts on a sky blue City shirt, and never looked like the player he was in Poland.

No mention for Clive Allen?
Kinkladze for me though.<br /><br />-- Mon Aug 05, 2013 9:14 pm --<br /><br />

Denis Law carried City in his first spell according to my dad.

Elano.

Looked like a world beater in his first dozen or so games, but with the exception of the classic Hamburg game, he offered precisely fuck all else. Definitely one of the laziest players we've had.

Agree. He was like an Advent Calendar, nothing there after Christmas.
Gutted he turned out to be so useless.

I was also massively underwhelmed by two players after all the pre-signing hype.
Rodney Marsh. Signing him cost us the title and then he cost us the League Cup.
Trevor Francis, seem to remember him getting sent off in his first game back after injury. Never worth a million quid.

Read through this and some good shouts. But how can anyone name players who've actually won stuff? We were so bad for so long, whilst (at times) hero worshipping guys who never achieved anything in the game. Its got to be wrong to go for any of the PL or FA cup winning team. They aren't or weren't over-rated. They are winners. FACT

 

[waterloo blue]

Nicky Reid,Paul Moulden,Stephen Ireland,in fact a lot of the lads that came through the youth set up.
They got an easier ride than some of the signings,because they were seen as City through and through,although people seem to be a bit circumspect these days.
Although they are always exception to every rule Paul Power,Willie Donachie and Richard Edghill,used to get slaughtered on the Kippax.

 

[We're not really here]

This thread has depressed the life out of me! So many fellow blues talking such unbelievable crap! Good lord what are we becoming?

 

[Josh Blue]

At one point Adam Johnson.

Many called for him to start ahead of Silva..

Pretty funny thread from a while back

Dickov - Scored a supremely important goal but we'd never have been in that division had he been doing his job during the previous couple of seasons.
Some of our jokers even preferred him to Anelka just because he ran around a lot.

this, i loved dicky but he wasn't great.

still THAT goal will always make him talked about positively.

 

[Mickeylad]

Colin Bell, what a load of shit.

I've been in agony with a bad back for 2 days but that made me giggle , thank you

That git nearly got me killed when he scored the bloody backheel.<br /><br />-- Mon Aug 05, 2013 11:35 pm --<br /><br />

Kinkladze, Elano, Adam Johnson, Weiss

I'm in with 3 of them, but did anyone actually rate Johnson ?

Not until they saw his replacement.

 

[Anonymous]

can't believe people are saying kinky.

you're fucking nuts.

 

[BlueTG]

Kolarov, there are still fans that rate him ;)

 

[NipHolmes]

can't believe people are saying kinky.

you're fucking nuts.

Amazing player but had issues that pretty much blighted what should have been a great career.

 

[6one]

add zabaleta to the list.

M. Johnson
A. Johnson
C. Tevez
G. Kinkladze.
Paul Lake.

 

[solley attwell]

Dickov. One iconic goal papers over the cracks of a very average striker. For Chrissakes some people even wanted to build a statue of him celebrating his equaliser
