The Worst Value For Money

Down the years, us blues have seen many players put on the blue shirt and drop like a led balloon. Some have been signed with more optimism than others and been expected to either lead from example at the back or be the pin point of our attack. More often than not big name signings have flopped, but prior to our new revolution, City were renowned for signing veterans of the game on the Bosman ruling. Players like Andy Cole signed in 2005 proved to be a controversial one to say the least as manager Stuart Pearce was signing a United legend. Others include the likes of Arsenal and England legend  David Seaman. United famous shot stopper Peter Schmeichel, German legend Michael Taarnat and former Dutch international Paul Bosvelt along with former City manager Stuart Pearce.
Some of our worst ever signings have without a doubt been in the last ten years. My 10th worst signing I feel was four years ago this summer.

Why City will win the FA Cup

Winning the FA Cup this season will probably mean more to City than it would to any other club. Already out of the Champions League, Europa League and arguably the Premier League title race, this is realistically the last trophy this season City have to fight for.
