Lineker's Left Foot Posted 14 February 2013 Posted 14 February 2013 With Futacs finally playing two (I think) full games for City now, and not having the best of games the other night, it got me thinking... Which past players would you say weren't really given a chance at City; then we came to regret it somewhat as they turned out good etc. I always remember Pleat buying Jimmy Quinn - who had been the Second Division's top scorer in 1987/88. He quickly got shot of him in a swap to Bradford for Mick Kennedy- woohoo !! Quinn was always a class act. Who else has there been?? Oh and Ashley Ward should have had more of a chance too.
Lionator Posted 14 February 2013 Posted 14 February 2013 Until 'that penalty' happened., I always thought Yann Kermorgant deserved more game time than he got.
Blueblood1989 Posted 14 February 2013 Posted 14 February 2013 That diomansy kamara and gelson fernandes both looked like good players cant remember what happened to them tho
Durnerz Posted 14 February 2013 Posted 14 February 2013 Matt Piper would be an obvious choice but due to us being forced into selling him resulting in a career decline through injury was unfortunate. Still have memories of him tormenting some of the finest left backs in the Premiership like it was nothing.
Captain... Posted 14 February 2013 Posted 14 February 2013 Gradel - Obviously Nicky Adams - always thought he looked quality when I saw play at the start of that season, remember him nutmegging someone with a backheel spinning past him and the collecting the ball as it rebounded off the corner flag
Leicester Piggott Posted 14 February 2013 Posted 14 February 2013 Gradel is a good shout. I dread to think who NP preferred in that position. I refuse to think about it.
Guest Posted 14 February 2013 Posted 14 February 2013 I have a feeling Thracian might be a big contributor to this thread
sorrelite Posted 14 February 2013 Posted 14 February 2013 Mark Bright went on to have a very tidy career. Victim of expectation of filling Lineker's boots and pretty unpleasant crowd hostility.
Tielemans63 Posted 14 February 2013 Posted 14 February 2013 Theo Zagorakis, Pontus Kamark. Theo definitely! Was unlucky to be here when we had one of the best midfields we've ever had. I always thought he looked class. Pontus played more often than not didn't he? Had a few injuries though if I remember correctly?
KingPowerLCFC1884 Posted 14 February 2013 Posted 14 February 2013 N'Guessan had him on my shirt. played 8 games and left.
Zingari Posted 14 February 2013 Posted 14 February 2013 Mark Bright went on to have a very tidy career. Victim of expectation of filling Lineker's boots and pretty unpleasant crowd hostility. good shout Mark Venus , Si Morgan , Richard Cresswell
Les-TA-Jon Posted 14 February 2013 Posted 14 February 2013 I'm sure I'll get told - but didn't Gradel play quite a bit of first team football for us? In the League 1 season?
