BS15_RED Posted January 21, 2014 Report Share Posted January 21, 2014 Frank Fieldinding looks likely to end up on this list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prankerd Posted January 21, 2014 Report Share Posted January 21, 2014 Can we say lee trundle should be on the list? Cost 1 mil and never really lived up to the hype or not giving much of a chance had one season then left didnt he? Still one of my favourite players tho, Dave partridge- had the potential played for wales then wasted his career Tony dinning - earned his contract then thought ill just do nothing now Nicky hunt - I remember thinking we have a great defender on our hands here... Bas savage - nice guy but hell did he get a professional contract :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IdliketoRogerMoore Posted January 21, 2014 Report Share Posted January 21, 2014 Sorry guys, but it has to be Gus Caesar. We had high hopes of him when he came from Arsenal, but he turned out to be total carp. He was enthusiastic with it, so he spread alarm and despondency all over the pitch oi, I'll take serious offense to that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

allyolly Posted January 21, 2014 Report Share Posted January 21, 2014 Mark Flatts on loan from arsenal? Would have expected better. Similar high expectations of Clayton Fortune never materialised.

BS4 on Tour... Posted January 21, 2014 Report Share Posted January 21, 2014 Joe Royle.....scored 4 on his debut then did nothing else and would have been better on Weston beach Winner against Liverpool? Hardly 'nothing else' but I get what you mean fella. For me it's Julian Watts - hopeless! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarTheRed Posted January 21, 2014 Report Share Posted January 21, 2014 I am a city fan for nearly forty years and am writing a book which includes some players that have been signed that to put it mildly were not great pieces of business. I'm looking for the funny, the stupid money paid for, the just plainly ridiculous and any other player you feel needs a mention. If you could give an example of the player's time at City then all the better as once the draft of the book is done.... I can then include your quote in the book, with your permission. I'm looking at players from the 70's onwards please. An example for you.... Bas Savage! The worst City 11 in my time 1.Phil Kite 2.Brian Mitchell 3.Nicky Hunt 4.Julian Watts 5.Gus Ceasar 6.Gary Stanley 7.Tony Dinning 8.Paul Mortimor 9.Andy Smith 10.Liam Robinson 11.Ian Baird There are many more but i'm getting depressed just thinking about this lot :-( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Midlands Robin Posted January 21, 2014 Report Share Posted January 21, 2014 For me (and I know a few of these have already come up in posts) the list must have: Gerard Lavin - I was at Reading that day. What in gods name was he thinking? Marcus Stewart - You may be a city fan but that's about it. Steve Torpey - If only for doing almost sod all for about 20 games in that bloody awful single season in the Championship Ian Baird - Still my favorite OTIB cover ever - The first issue after Baird had given his infamous two fingered salute to the Atyeo stand, the cover read "yes Ian, we know what division we're in but whose fault was it?" There have been dozens of awful loan signings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carey 6 Posted January 21, 2014 Report Share Posted January 21, 2014 Pretty sure 400k was being discussed. Our loss or his? Both! He could've went on to play championship football & he didn't do well whilst with us after that! 400k would've been great business for us! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sleepy1968 Posted January 21, 2014 Report Share Posted January 21, 2014 brian Mitchell thats him. been racking my brain. thanks. (I've posted this before but I once slagged him off on his debut pre season in the anglo scottish at twerton whilst standing next to his old man. I'm sure there was another equally inept defender we signed on at the same time.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
New Dazzler Posted January 21, 2014 Report Share Posted January 21, 2014 Russell Osman Not having that, he was still class when he played for us, OK his best days (England and Ipswich) were behind him but he was very decent. I would say that Nicky Hunt must be the most inept footballer we have had from the top flight (plenty of competition though!). But he wasn't exactly a household name. 1st equal for "The biggest let down, after the club have made a signing that makes you think:- they really mean business this time!" Award goes to David James and Marcus Stewart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chappers Posted January 21, 2014 Report Share Posted January 21, 2014 Who said Fleck? He only had a brief loan but was quality and we really needed him to stay. Another cracking Johnson loanee was Nick Wright, a winger from Birmingham. John Palmer, a non-league lummox striker, did not quite make the step up, or even the bottom step. Always rated Graham Withey at Bath, but his one game for us was dire. Ian Leigh in goal for just one game.... That was enough. David James definitely ranks as an awful signing, we had 2 decent keepers and did not need him, his performances were pretty average, and his extended contract was a major factor in Henderson leaving.

PolskRed Posted January 22, 2014 Report Share Posted January 22, 2014 Always seem to remember Scott McGarvey being a touch on the shit side however having looked at his record 26 games 9 goals maybe my memory is a bit distorted?
