Noisy Neighbours - the Man City thread

[swinebag22]

I started watching City in 1990 so missed out on Power, Donachie, Watson and Marsh.

Bit gutted I put Anelka in my team ahead of the "Goat"

Should have had Micah in ahead of Brightwell too

What do City fans make of Navas?

The 1st reply to Lineker is pretty good!

I have to say, I've never been impressed with Navas. His battle with home sickness is well documented and I thought it was an error when they bought him.

He is said to have overcome it but he's never been the player for City that he was at Sevilla, so I'm not so sure.
I guess in any case, he'll now be a bench player if Sterling, Silva and De Bruyne are all fit.
I reckon this will be his last season at the club and he won't go down as a success. Or is he popular among fans?

Decent thread so far.

Have sent a link to ex blonde poster Asa McGrath. He's a Man C fan, was even named after one of their players.

Can't remember which one though.

And Dennis Bergkamp was named after Denis Law.
True story.

Asa Hartford, who's transfer to ManC almost broke down because he had a "hole in the heart" condition.

Can be an infuriating player. His best asset is his speed, yet he seems reluctant to take a full back on. His crossing can be abysmal, and his finishing is poor. Yet I think I'm right in saying he created the most chances in the league last season, and also think I'm right in saying he made the most league appearances at the club last year. So he has been doing some stuff right.

This could well be his last season, we could flog him in the summer and recoup most of what we paid. I wouldn't say he's been a failure but equally he hasn't been a roaring success.

Navas always puts a shift in and he is respected by the fans. But it is hard not to groan when he continually gets in a crossing position and either takes the wrong option or executes the correct option so poorly.

In the second half against WHU, I lost count of the number of times he was put clear only for me to end up shouting "why was I not given Navas' pace"

On a brighter note, price tag debate ignored, KDB looks a top drawer player.

Fantasy footie question.

Yaya, silva, sterling or DB?

Think KdB then Silva and then the rest but they aren't close tbh.

All 4, just scrimp on your defence

I have all of them except Silva. Think KDB will outscore the rest though.
