kirku 1,332 Posted July 7, 2020 Came here to mention Omar Koroma. All things considered, it's probably Naismith. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Indy 3,286 Posted July 7, 2020 For money alone and ego, Naismith by a country mile.....at least most of the others didn’t cost our club close to 20 million pounds in fees and wages for an absolutely garbage attitude. I’d love to have a formula for cost of each poor player per minute played. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Barry Brockes 145 Posted July 7, 2020 Those of a certain age cannot possibly have forgotten Drazen Muzinic. The second coming according to John Bond but in 58 years of supporting City never ever have I seen such an awful 'footballer'. His strengths? None. His weaknesses? How long have you got! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

......and Smith must score. 1,336 Posted July 7, 2020 4 hours ago, Wacky Waving Inflatable Arm Flailing Tube Man said: The first name that springs to mind is Chris Brown. 24 games and one goal if I'm not mistaken, and then we sold him for a profit, somehow... Yes, he wasn’t all that but to be fair could’ve been distracted filming his Sunderland teammates with that 16 year old girl. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BroadstairsR 2,138 Posted July 7, 2020 (edited) Keith Scott for me. I remember telling tale this before on here.  I was at a Birmingham v City game with my Spurs supporting friend. Scott was CF.  My friend said that number 9 (?) looks useful.  I replied that he was a carthorse of monstrous proportions.  The **** only popped up with a headed goal which I think may have won the game.  He didn't score many though.

Hartson came on at half time and changed a game against the Binners. I think it was the one that we were 2 down to Alan Lee . That was good enough to keep him well clear of the worst . He was a big old unit in those days . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

HazzaJet 252 Posted July 7, 2020 Loads of players I can think of including:  Derveld de Waard Yves de Blasiis Luciano Becchio - surprised no one has mentioned him yet. Did brilliantly for Leeds, we signed him and the only goal he scored for us was in a pre-season friendly! I reckon Brian McGovern, Carl Robinson, and Andy Hughes all deserve a shout. Possibly van Wolfswinkel, although there has been a lot of question over the years that Hughton’s defensive style of play didn’t suit him Think it’s a bit harsh to criticise Theoklitos as he was only starting to get used to UK football and never got to make another first team appearance for us. Also think he probably wasn’t to blame for every goal we conceded in that record defeat to Colchester, surely the defence was at fault for some? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
