Which past City player would have prospered most under Pep

[Kirkstall Blue]

Pep may well have sold them. In the next transfer window if they didn’t shape up.

Jerome Boateng

Dammit beat me to it, I was so excited to post it too when I saw this thread.


Does Touré count?



I actually think a load of the names mentioned would not have gone on to be Pep players. Pep has a higher bar than most. I think a lot of great former City players whilst having close to the right style never had the right quality. Or the right attitude.

I don't think there would have been many. Benarbia from his time prior to City would have probably made it. I think Pep would get a load out of Tevez albeit with an Eto'o kind of relationship.

There's a couple from way back when that'd probably be good, especially Bell in a KDB role, or Young in the Robben role. But football's changed so much simce then, it's really hard to know what players they'd be if they were around today, even if they were playing in what was then a modern passing system.

Nastasic maybe?

This is absolutely the most correct answer for me. That or Gaz Baz

 

[Fame Monster]

Of recent ones, Dzeko. Brilliantly talented but so lazy at times. Same with Anelka.

 

[Gingers Dad]

By association, Paul Lake would have been fully sorted by Dr. Ramon Cugat.

Until Swales booked him into a Backpackers hostel in Barcelona and told him to catch the coach and ferry home

 

[Dr Jacoby]

Kiki Musampa

 

[Dazzle84]

David White. He'd have got so many chances with the way we play and his speed, not unlike sterling in that regard

 

[BlueTG]

Superman Johnson Nasri.

Fuck that’s one cool name, what year did he play for us?

 

[Banned Tosspot]

Ali B would have gone to another level.

Even our poorer ones, see the worst player thread, with the right attitude would have been much better.

He did nothing in the Prem.

 

[Banned Tosspot]

Curle and Lake.

 

[OrkneyBlue]

I think nasri coached by Pep would have been great, had he stayed.
