MmmAgreed IMHO. Kevin Keegan had his shortcomings at times but he knew a footballer when he saw one. Which is why I have never been able to understand how on earth he came to sign Negouai.
Worst City keeper I ever saw - often stood motionless as the ball went past him and then held his arms out to the rest of the team in a gesture of pathetic inadequacy.Eike Immel played like his hands were attached directly to his elbows.
As I said, KK had his shortcomings. I'm not for one minute disputing that he made some duff signings, but he made some decent ones as well - Ali B, Berkovic, Pearce for example. All those who you mention at least looked like footballers, or had once been, but Negouai didn't even come close to that.Mmm
Players like Vuoso, Sommeil, and Macken all for substantial fees suggest that he didn't always spot a footballer with his purchases.
When you add in the crocks he signed who may have been decent footballers previously but we're injury riddled liabilities for us I think his record in the transfer market wasnt great.
What about Margetson,Suckling and Seaman.Worst City keeper I ever saw - often stood motionless as the ball went past him and then held his arms out to the rest of the team in a gesture of pathetic inadequacy.
Ew. Margutson suckling semen?What about Margetson,Suckling and Seaman.
He bought Vuoso off a video, never having seen him play.Mmm

Plus Kevin Ellegaard and Ronnie Healey (the latter is one for the oldies)What about Margetson,Suckling and Seaman.
I remember Bony's debut in 2015, at home to Newcastle, and we won 5-0. I too was looking forward to him being a good signing but as I recall, he was put through their defence, it was a one-on-one, and he made an awful hash of it.Wilfred Bony. i was buzzing when he signed but he was a flop. a very expensive one at that
I remember it well and also remember Lee Bradbury's first touch where the ball cannoned about six yards off his shin. Mind you I thought Mangala looked good in his first match!I remember Bony's debut in 2015, at home to Newcastle, and we won 5-0.

I thought it might be nerves or over-eagerness, but I also remember thinking "Have we made an awful mistake here>". Anyone else remember that?

Was not even anywhere near the best player at our school.Ahhh, John foster was my guy
Immel let more goals in and was like a statue. Worst City GK I ever saw.What about Margetson,Suckling and Seaman.
Controversial opinion - I thought Bradbury had turned a bit of a corner just before we sold him and was a little disappointed to see him go!I remember it well and also remember Lee Bradbury's first touch where the ball cannoned about six yards off his shin.

It's almost as though our worst players would be in the team that finished in our lowest ever league positions. - And you can add a few from Royle's first relegation season as well.Just look at team when Frank Clark was manager and you could pick a few.
More like a hairpin bend!Controversial opinion - I thought Bradbury had turned a bit of a corner just before we sold him and was a little disappointed to see him go!
Yeah. Wasn't their fault, these players were were only playing to their ability levels (mostly). But Beesley and Wassall playing at the back from us stands out for me as the moment it really dawned just how far we'd slipped and that we weren't coming back anytime soon.It's almost as though our worst players would be in the team that finished in our lowest ever league positions. - And you can add a few from Royle's first relegation season as well.
