Kenyan Midfielder We Tried to Sign Few Years Back?

[Niall Quinns Discopants]

I'm having a blackout. What was the name of that feller. Had deal agreed and all but couldn't get work permit.

I think I know who you're on about. Did he end up going to Italy. Parma maybe? Had like an English first name and an African surname?

[Alioune DVToure]

Got it. MCDONALD MARIGA!

[Esky]

Mariga. Been on loan twice to Racing and Parma. ...Too slow to the draw.

[Blue Blood]

Got it. MCDONALD MARIGA!

Looks lucky we missed out on him doesn't it but not nearly as lucky as missing the transfer deadline on Gago. Gago deal was happening, time scuppered it!

He would have cost 20 million then... 5 million at best now...

Got it. MCDONALD MARIGA!

He's the one! Cheers!

I never rated Gago much.
This Mariga feller however looked dominating in Parma. Has dropped off the radar bit but I don't think he would've necesserily been a flop.

Perhaps, the lad certainly seemed to have the physical attributes to be a successful prem midfielder. I guess we'll never know.

Just like we will never know if Mark Bresicano and Steve Sidwell would have been hits at City. Both very very close to being city players.

Ahhh what could have been...

[DoomMerchant]

luckily we got yaya instead...

zero pots if we'd landed the other dude imho. And yes i was gutted at the time.

Bresciano would have been a legend - no one can deny that.

[Tony P]

If this is the blackout thread: mate just asked me if we've ever had a Portuguese player..... errrrrrrrr.

Wow.

It was almost as if we were building towards Bresciano...

..Maybe we still are....

[lets all have a disco]

I remember us going in for Nashat Akram described by Sven as an elegant player.

[ant london]

edit....fuck me, I just checked if he was still playing and apparently he's at M(oneybs)alaga....althouh no appearances so far per Wiki

I remember it well... I broke the sidwell talks via mancityfans.net breaking news. I was in the city store when stuart pearce walked in with him. He was giving him a guided tour. I had to wait till i got home an hour later though to give my acount.... Even though I think i text BMD and KK at the time.

No one ran a tight ship like Pearce.
