Yet most people hated having him in the team. 45 minutes ago, RamNut said: He was rubbish. ? I liked him but he only had one trick - kick the ball past the full back and race him to it. As soon as teams sussed that out, he didn't have anything else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the level of tribalism then affected people's views of him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raich Carter Posted December 12, 2020 Share Posted December 12, 2020 For me, and I know this isn’t a popular opinion, but Kinkladze was over-rated. He was class in parts but the number of times he just CBA sent me mental. When we’d had some many grafters before (Carsley, etc) he just stood out as when things started to go wrong. I know he was a flair player but just plain lazy. I will not have the same criticism laid at the door of Ace. Because he’s my fave! ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe didn’t quite have the skill but he more than made up for it in work rate for the team Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baird grew on people eventually but I was a fan from the start...fantastic delivery Good shout as I thought they both had a strongly negative impact on the whole team.

Yes Kinky didn't do it for us, but my sense was it was because he was never given a chance. You have the most skillful player in world football in your squad but you put him on the bench because you don't think he's a great trainer. Madness! Should have made him feel loved and built the team around him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a very good friend who has been a season ticket holder at Man City since the 70's, when we signed Kinky he said to me, you will watch him one week and think he is the greatest footballer that has ever lived, then the week after you will think he is a total clown and want to kill him....he was spot on...but i loved Kinky.. another player i always thought was average that everyone loved was Seth.

Should have made him feel loved and built the team around him. I can remember him have a few good games. He tore Leicester apart in one game in particular . I think his intermittent performance may have been sugar rush comedown from all those Dinky Donuts I used to see him consuming in the Eagle Centre after training.

I quite enjoyed some of Kuhl’s performances when he was in a belligerent mood. I liked his ugly stuff. Pembridge wasn’t a bad footballer, and scored a good few goals for us. Must have been 30 plus. Lots of fans didn’t like him though, and not really sure why now. Had a pretty good career including longish stints at Everton and Fulham. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red_ram Posted December 12, 2020 Share Posted December 12, 2020 Chris Porter. I thought he was a really good finisher who just couldn’t stay fit enough to carve out a proper career here, but doesn’t seem fondly remembered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had a pretty good career including longish stints at Everton and Fulham. Part of Pembridge's problem was that he never seemed to care enough. Part of Kuhl's problem was that he wasn't very good. I think you have probably hit the nail on the head with these two re marmite players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember Clough openly slating him in an interview on the radio about how tired he was of 'him and his blasted hip'. Think there was a bit of he could play but chooses not too syndrome . He had a great debut with 2 goals against a strong Swansea team and was very physical in the air. A decent acquisition for 400k if he'd been fitter.
