We used to sign plenty of foreign players, in my time of watching since 85 many have come and gone (mainly from 90's onwards). I looked through a list of our players today and many I had forgotten. I hope someone was getting some sneaky cash out of these deals otherwise they make little sense.
Of course some worked out, the ones I thought were decent were Boateng, Chippo, Safri, Hadji (sometimes), Soltvedt, Stern John, Ndlovu, Nilsson, Hedman. I even recall a nice cameo of good appearances from Lilian Nalis.
The following players were awful or forgettable, some were bought, some were free, the odd one or two were loans, but all used up valuable cash on wages, kit, deep heat etc. Some didn't even get a game.
Arphexad, Beuzelin, Bischoff, Che Bunce, Calita, Carbonari, Dahl, de Zeeuw, Delorge, Deloumeax, Edjenguele (a bit harsh?), Ekelund, Engonga, Evtushok, Fadiga, Fulop, Genaux, Gioacchini, Gudjonsson, Guerrero, Hreidarsson, Hyldgaard, El Idrissi, Gonzalez, Isaias, Johansen, Cobi Jones, Konstantopoulos, Kruszynski, Lamptey, Laville, Malaga, Manset, Mansouri, Martinez, Negouai, Nimely, Normann, Nuzzo, Olszar, Perdomo, Sara, Sofiane, Walleme, Zuniga.
you forgot Moldovan
Roussel dragged himself round to reasonable effect for a few months.
First one of that list to play during my time as a fan was Perdomo. I remember being so excited at the idea of having a Uruguayan at City!
Yeah looked like a proper mobile old No9 unit.Roussel was alright while on loan. Shit when signed permanently.
Can add Moussa to those that worked out.
what about mo konjic
Moldovan was a joke considering his international career!
Aloisi!he was class Moldovan was a joke considering his international career!
Gunnarsson
Got points for scoring against Villa, and punching Danny Mills, but surely not a great success.
Yeah, I did have him down as a favourite, but got scared as I thought Grendel would complain he was just someone that ran around a lot. Always good to have a long throw man, I'll stick him down as a sub.
they were good enough to beat England with their peroxide Barnets.
Gunnarson was OK. Have you not mentioned Raddy Avromovic the goalkeeper that made Fabian Dubec look like Peter Shilton?
Dele Adebola worked out pretty well all things considered. Was really quite poor to begin with but towards the end of his City day's he had some cracking games. I still remember than run and goal against Blackburn.

Would you class Adebola as a foreigner, yes born in Nigeria, but brought up in Liverpool from childhood and has a scouse accent.
Certainly scored some good goals, but it is Division 3. Also if he goes in the summer he will be hated more than Clarke (maybe).
Cobi Jones, the first player I had on a shirt, the green and black away shirt, I think I was seduced by his dreads!!
De Zeeuw away at Blackpool a couple of years ago was probably the worse performance I have ever seen in a city shirt.
