Worst XI since the takeover?

Based on players we bought after the takeover that actually played:

Pantilimon

Maicon------Savic------Mangala------Sylvinho

Hargreaves------Zuculini------Rodwell

Sinclair------Santa Cruz------Jovetic

To be honest, Mangala might be a bit harsh, but I put him in ahead of other contenders (Nastasic and Demichelis) on the grounds that he cost world class money.

Zuculini played competitively for City? When was this? If you're counting friendlies (which he played quite well in) Wright should be in there ahead of Pants, who had plenty of great performances.
 
I probably underrated Savices and Boatengs unsolidness for City because of their careers after City but yes, all those you pointed out are very fuckin expensive garbage who are still getting wasting a huge amount of money on (their salaries) instead of putting em in for a 1 really top player.

Caballero

Bridge
Otamendi
Demichelis
Glauber

Javi Garcia
Fernando

Navas
Jo

Bony
Santa Cruz

Bench: Wright, Glauber, Adebayor.
Haha, Navas has Probably been one of our best players of the season...

And that makes you think how shite our team and management were this season. I mean yeah, Jesus had a desire that is rare in this City team, BUT his efficiency was still shite: his useless crosses, his awful passes and slowing down counter-attacks when thee are simple ways to continue and even make it more dangerous...
 
Not all of the below are terrible players but none of them performed at City either due to injury or inexperience/poor management.

Pantillimon
Maicon Savic Boateng Bridge
Sinclair Rodwell Hargreaves Jovetic
Bony Santa Cruz

Surely Gunnar Nielsen should be in goal if you're loading the team with EDS/Academy players who made fleeting appearances in the first team?
Novel idea playing Greg Cunningham up front!
