UPinCarolina Posted 9 January 2019 Posted 9 January 2019 Benalouane? Possibly Nacho, if he gets supplanted by another striker in the pecking order. For us - though he has since become a great player - Andrej Kramaric?

For me Ade Akinbadbuy However one could always say Musa or Icheanacho.............etc. It all depends on your age and how long you've been watching city. Im surprised Roger Davies hasnt been mentioned but as stated probablly my age .t
Dan Posted 9 January 2019 Posted 9 January 2019 It's got to be Silva sadly. It's sad that we've got probably 4/5 contenders for this in the last three years. Some of the older generation may be able to apply relative fees in the time period but we have gotten very complacent with our money and I'd like to think we're learning from it. Silva because of everything really, not just the farce that involved getting him signed but just how much of a bit-part player he's been during his time here.
mazarron fox Posted 9 January 2019 Posted 9 January 2019 Lee Philpott ( pisspot more like ) he really thought he was the dogs bollox
Babylon Posted 9 January 2019 Posted 9 January 2019 It's Silva, it's not even a debate. He's literally done nothing.
peach0000 Posted 9 January 2019 Posted 9 January 2019 Has to be Matt Mills for me, way above what we or other championship teams were paying at the time for players yet we spent big on a centre back who couldn’t defend. 5 million pounds he cost if I remember correctly!
CollinsLCFC Posted 9 January 2019 Posted 9 January 2019 The deal with the company that make the clap banners. Silva a tough second. Whilst Slimani got us some goals and assists, £30m for him is still atrocious.

You read half the stupid posts on this forum, and yet you sound surprised that people who don't go to games or watch games want slimani back? Is it your first day here?
Stevosevic Posted 9 January 2019 Posted 9 January 2019 Not sure how anyone can argue against it being Silva. 30m, big wages, couldn't play for half a season and then once available has done nothing and slipped to 6th choice CM. Unrivalled failure.

deanolegend1989 Posted 10 January 2019 Posted 10 January 2019 A few spring to mind: 1 million for Jamie Vardy. Barely scored for us, achieved very little. 1 million is a hell of a lot of money. Awful business. 5 million for Ngolo Kante also terrible, he only stayed for 1 season, very inconsistent and soon was sold on. Achieved very little here, more terrible business from our scouting system.

Sly Posted 10 January 2019 Posted 10 January 2019 If you look at it logically. Akinbiyi cost £5,000,000 and this was funded from the sale of Heskey for £12,000,000. To put that into perspective, in today’s value, they’d be worth: Heskey - £67,000,000 Akinbiyi - £24,000,000 So money wise, at the time, whilst a big fee, it sort of made sense got a player who was tearing up Division 1 (Championship). A few more stats, league goals: Heskey scored 40 goals in 154 games. A goal every 3.8 games. Youth player. Akinbiyi scored 11 goals in 58 games. A goal every 5.2 games. Each goal cost £2,100,000 in today’s money. by comparison: Slimani - would be worth £33,400,000 - 8 goals in 35 games - A goal every 4.3 games. Each goal cost £4,100,000 in today’s money. Ihenanacho - would be worth 21,550,000 - 4 goals in 39 games - A goal every 9.75 games. Each goal has cost £5,300,000 in today’s money. Musa - would be worth £22,220,000 - 2 goals in 21 games - a goal every 10.5 games. Each goal has cost £11,100,000 million in today’s money. Obviously this doesn’t take account of sell on fees, wages, all adjusted for inflation and made relative for today etc etc ..... someone else can work that out.

Tilton Fox Posted 10 January 2019 Posted 10 January 2019 Got to be Wise.... nearly cost us everything!

Worked with him on & off for about a year. A nice enough fella. Derby thro & thro and a legend there. He was before my time. But I kept quiet that I was a city fan as I knew it hadn't gone well. He asked one day who I followed. I sheepishly said Leicester. He just said 'oh dear'.....and changed subject
Dandy king Posted 10 January 2019 Posted 10 January 2019 Mills, was he captain as well ? Or was that at reading.

To be fair to him, he joined us when we were utter crap - Frank McLintock's time (Jock Wallace got rid of him pretty sharpish). He looked like someone who'd been dragged out of the crowd & told to get on with it. Someone who'd never played before. His Derby exploits suggest otherwise, but as a City player he just looked totally out of his depth. He obviously didn't like being here. But not as much as I didn't like him being here...
