Which City Former Player...

[john68]

If the stipulation was to add only 1 past player, I would choose a defender, a midfielder and a striker....COLIN BELL.
I would then go down to Betfred and put my wages on winning the League...I love taking money off rags.

Watson with Kompany would have city fans drooling. Watson could head a ball further than many can kick it.
A twin wing strike force of Johnson and Mike Summerbee would take some stopping too.

I loved the likes of the Goat and Rosler but these guys were a different league.

Kind of reminds me of the Mock of the Week joke when we first got taken over. The young lad(looks like he is about 14yo) said if City went and signed 10 of the absolute best in the world, we could carry anyone, we could have Dame Judi Dench as a fox in the box.

[Tokyo Blue]

Paul Lake.

[mr_nool]

Aye he got done for cutting up dodgy mercs.

I loved that guy,saying that i also loved this tackle on him.

What the hell was Jim thinking, going in with a rugby tackle?

[Piccsnumberoneblue]

Box to box midfielder is often quoted as a big miss for us. Step forward COLIN BELL. And 68 is right, you'd have to get your money on us to win the title.
Other than that, Franny Lee, Summerbee or Young would all grace this team. In fact they were better than this team.
Slightly later, Dennis Tueart and Watson and to solve the left back spot problem how about Willie Donachie?
Later still, Quinn, Geo and Lake.
And if you wanted one player who would drum the spirit of City into these pampered mercenaries, it could only be Mick Doyle!

I suspect the best players would come from the sixties team, but, like most these days, I've generally only seen dross, with the occasional talent makinga brief appearance.

Another one, sure to split opinion, Elano. Could be hopeless on a regular basis, but as back up to Silva and carried by the likes of de jong and barry, his passing could have made a difference. I'd only have him if Kinky was busy, though.

[sirgordonzola]

Paul Lake.

with you there matey, what a player he could have been.

[blues-clues]

If we could have him at his best, Peter Schmeichel.

[Chinners]

David White .... because he's fast .... fucking fast

[Alioune DVToure]

George Weah, WPOTY edition.

[Fullartj]

Paul Lake or Mark Ward

[Goaters 103]

Some hilarious suggestions on here, and I think a lot of Blues have some very rose tinted glasses on some of the former players we have worshipped in what has been an extremely lean 30 odd years, and thats being kind.

Given this is by far the best City team Ive ever watched, and Ive been going every week since 19bloody77, the one player to add is glaringly obvious and has already been put forward by a couple of others. Colin Bell.

[Alex Sapphire]

Leaving aside the great team that won everything, I'd be looking at the "class acts" that have graced various positions

our squad's spine could be strengthened by Coton, Curle and Lake.

Kinky, Walsh, Bernabia and Berkovic wouldn't make bad back up

and Barnes and White out wide?

[sweeneymcfc]

seeing as i am too young to have watched the likes of bell and even quinn and kinkladze properly
the only player we have had that i could really see pushing our first 11 at the moment is van buyten even though he was only here for about 4 games he was class him and kompany at centre back would be the best pairing in the league imo

[Slim]

Power was always a favourite of mine as a tyke(not good enough, but favourite still).

Aside from him, Lake, Kinky or Barnes are all very good shouts.

[Ted Hughes]

Bell is a bit too obvious really but if we try another position, I recon Tueart would suit this team perfectly; goalsoring wide player who can play both sides as would Peter Barnes. Both would really excell on the counter attack. Another who'd be absolutely perfect for that job is Craig Bellamy.

[Tony P]

Super Kev and his aggressive walk.

For me Barnes was the man and being ridiculous Huckerby.

[Wooders]

no-ones mentioned the Elk yet - he'd slot right in even now
Agree about schmiechel as well
