Signed but never played for city XI

[theboxman1986]

Inspired by the worst 11 thread was wondering if anyone can make an 11 with players that we signed but never played for the first 11 competitively. Only rule is that they cannot have signed for the youth team then graduated/got released. It must be that they signed to play for the first team right off the bat.

Leon Crnic just about qualifies doesn't he?

Perhaps you should say made under 5 appearances.....

Nicolas priet??

[theboxman1986]

reason I ask is that me and my dad was discussing this over boxing day dinner and I think Casino Jimmy was the only one we could think of and we are not even sure he qualifies

[David Guiza]

Marco Ferriera, got quite excited when we signed a young Benfica winger on loan and then he seemed to not even exist.

Sergio Hellings

Hold up. He made an appearance? Against who?

[Freeman's Wharfer]

Luigi Glombard - did he ever play?

[Charl91]

Danny Uchechi. I miss that guy.

[TheUltimateWinner]

Does Astrit Ajdarevic count?

[Bettsj2]

Adda djezziri?

Harry Redknapp signed him for Pompey from us for an undisclosed fee.

He never played there either?

Mandy's dodgy dealings again?

More like Redknapps. That bloke would sign up a paraplegic just to cream some of the transfer fee.

I'm SO glad we didn't sign that shady bastard.

'Honest, your Honor, it's awl pwoppa pukka on the tax fwont.....I just decided to bang it in an off-shaw account in me dogs name dint ah?'

****ing thieving spiv. Look at the mess he's left Pompey in, just to benefit himself.

[ADK]

Kennedy pretty much fits that description.

Paintsil too.

I know they played for us but they were perm signings that didn't get much game time.

Futacs might join the list too.

Jimmy Nielsen in goal

Hassan Kaibai at right back

Kevin Ellison don't think ever played for us signed in the early 2000's

Did Peter Canero ever get a game? He was always injured after signing from Scotland

[Bettsj2]

Mandy's dodgy dealings again?

Definitely something dodgy about the whole thing.

Canero played a few times in the Prem and in the Championship.

Kevin Ellison's only appearance for us came at Old Trafford under Peter Taylor, I believe.

[Leicester_Numan]

Are we counting sub appearances as an appearance as there are plenty who didn't start but made sub appearances?

[MGLCFC]

There's that Peruvian lad, can't remember his name, that Eriksson signed, now on loan to some Mexican club.

Ellison played, I can still recall the horror of watching him make his debut at OLD TRAFFORD. It was humiliating.

I saw him play for Lincoln a few times. He hit a one man wall from a free kick at about knee height. Quality.

While I'm on the subject, my lasting memory of Lee Philpott is seeing him amble down the left wing for Lincoln and just falling over. There was no one within ten yards of him. Quality.
