Most liked posts in thread: Best/Worst City Tranfer Fees

Yes, he was a good one. Came from Leicester in exchange for Micky Kennedy, and went to West Ham for 320,000.

A good buy from just a bit earlier was Brian Mitchell. Oh for a back line now with such players to choose from: Mitchell, Evans, Oliver, Sinnott, Jacko, Goddard...

On the other side, a few who haven't been mentioned yet:

Tony Adcock and Ian McCall never justified their fees for us. Adcock was another example of our ability across the decades to reduce good strikers to has-beens. More recently, some monies were wasted on Jake Speight and Scott Neilson.

thanks

 

think I was mixing it up with the Jamie Lawrence one

 

What's always annoyed me us our inability to command large transfer fees.

Peterborough seem to sell for 3-5 million routinely, where we sell Well for a fraction of that.

Before anyone says it, it's not down to Rhodes either - remember selling a Premier League defender in Andy O'Brien for peanuts as well?

Even Geoff couldn't get proper money for our best players.

 

Was tough when O’Brien went as our relegation was all but confirmed and I think O’Brien has a clause in his contract about being allowed to stay in premier league if a club came in. Who can blame him really

 

Don't blame O'B at all, fantastic defender.

 

I didn't realise John Docherty singed Robbie, his better days were passed him by the time he came to Valley Parade but what an all action player, another player left us too soon.

 

Those bloody cigars...he probably singed a few of the poor b#ggers

 

Yes if you sign enough one will be good.

 

Did I jump down your throat.

 

McGinley and Hopkin were both terrible. met McGinley a bit back and he came across as a bit of a Bolton billy big balls with a baseball cap on permanently and name dropping loads of Ex pro footballer names. Bolton, do me a favour.

Robbie Blake was a cracking signing for 300k

 

I'll throw in a Ron Futcher. Not here long enough to be the best, but loved watching him play and score.

Same era, Ian Banks bought in from Town after Stuart left. Big disappointment. There were a few that summer if i recall.

 

Can’t deny Jimmy was a goodun’ at 7.5k. Disappointed that we didn’t get to see him get 100 goals for us, not too far away.

Utter crap - McLean, given what I think we were hoping for from the “goal machine”.

On another note, transfers going out - Wisdom has been giving for a while but McBurnie is an absolute god-send in this troublesome year!

 

Hendrie.
McGinley.

 

Good to see you back posting .

 

Andy Thomas came in with Jagger.

 

Hendrie.
McGinley.

Thanks. Lost my City mojo for a period. Lockdown and absence of football has helped me reset the City button. Missing the moans and disappointment of being a City fan again. So here I am.

 

We're all the same on here, we're not happy unless we are miserable....!!

 

I've gotta raise you Matt Clarke.

Schwarzer the sexier name for a City dream team but performance alone while wearing a City shirt Clarke was out of this world and was on the cusp of an England call up.

Like Bruno and Blake, stuff happening behind closed doors derailed his City career.

 

The afternoon we played Leeds and BIG NEVIILE took over in the nets because Matt had fallen down him bungalow stairs, did we ever find out if that was the case with regards his injury that day ?.
