A sad, sad story; what an incredible player he could have become.
We were briefly half decent at that time so may not count!
I think old Division Two under El Mel counts, mate.

Same for me and Ali B. Extraordinary player. Loved the way we snaffled him up from under Newcastle's noses too. Willie mckay and KK. One of the best deals ever.

The mystery club has not been named, but is believed to be Newcastle United. The Magpies' manager, Bobby Robson, was interested in the Benarbia before he signed for City.

The mystery club was Newcastle indeed. The Magpies would have liked to sign Benarbia during the 2001 summer mercato, since they already had his former Paris SG teammates Sylvain Distin and Laurent Robert in their squad. Ali B was a wonderful recruit for City in Championship. Many Premier League clubs would have dreamed to have him in their squad. Distin finally joined us after his one season loan to Newcastle, at the same time as Nicolas Anelka. It would have made a PSG kind of City with a left winger like Laurent Robert in addition to Benarbia, Distin and Anelka. What a great set pieces taker L.Robert was !
In my opinion, shitty days were only the 1996-2000 era, and in those days, a jewel started to shine under City's dull skies : Shaun Wright-Philips !
