Best Debut

Obviously with Bravo having a bit of a stinker I brought up Macca smashing Villa on his debut. But what's the best debut from a City player you've seen?
For me it's simple. Ali B - Birmingham. Got off the plane the day before I think KK said. Just stepped on the pitch and was unreal. Still the best player I've seen in a City shirt.

I think we're both around the same age. Seeing Benarbia was the first time I've seen a truly world class player pull on a City shirt.

Ali B for me, imagine him in this side.
That Aguero kid could play a bit too...
Not City but nice to see Ballo getting two for Nice, I still have a soft spot for the crazy man-child

Aguero of course.

Obviosuly taking into account it was about a half hour long?

Paul Futcher, well his best was actually the game before he signed - an U21 international win against Italy at Maine Road which ignited Swales' burning love affair with him.

Aguero v Swansea. Only about half an hour but was a different class.
Quinn v Chelsea. Scored after about 25 minutes iirc and for the first time in a while we had someone who was a real precense in the penalty box
Francis v Stoke. Scored twice and we were full of optimism
Kompany v West ham. Mom after arriving the day before

Mangala proves that a great debut does not a summer make. I remember Trevor Francis' debut which was superb but Aguero's for me.

I think I went to that game. Was it 1978? Barnes ended up with 2 shiners and Paulo Rossi played?

Me for Unsworth Fc vs St Joseph's who a certain Ratboy was playing centre half. I scored hatrick but unfortunately one was disallowed for offside!
Sadly careers took a different path after that! Twat

It's gotta be Kun for me and considering I haven't had the honour to see that many games live at the Etihad, I'm glad I got to see his debut. It was magic. To me at least.

My fav is actually benjani. He wasn't brilliant but he scored and we did the impossible that day.
Aguero is the best tho.
