exactly what we would need now to partner Silva and twat everyone.

Top top player and lovely person. Absolutely had far less than his talent deserved.

Didn't I read somewhere some time ago that he tried to make it over to the Etihad, but couldn't get a visa or something?
Love to see him presented there again, and certainly a player who would easily fit into this current team.

Would he though? Kinky was a dribbler, not a passer.

I think he'd have passed a lot more if he weren't playing alongside Ged Brannan and Lee Bradbury.

He was what Nasri is supposed to be or what Hazard would have brought. A Messi style player (although not that good) in a time of cloggers. With today's referees banning tackling as well, he'd have been in his element.

The sight of him being picked out by Silva or Yaya and having the likes of Aguero to feed would be fantastic. Rather then him having to do everything whilst the rest of the team just watched in awe.

His goal against Southampton is still the best City goal I've ever seen.

Yeah he was a foreigner.....and I really cannot stand foreigners....or spastics as I am such a xenophobe and scope-o-phobe. I didn't like him at all, not a patch on someone English like Kevin Horlock ;-)

To be fair he made most of OUR team look stupid, I remember watching many times when he played a sublime ball through to players who had stopped running and didn't read the game or pass as quickly as kinky

There's actually a clip online when he does that incredible solo run, beats about 4 people and plays an inch perfect through ball for Steve Lomas who absolutely totally fucks up a very chance and blasts it well and truly wide from yards. You can see Kinkladze's body language thinking 'ffs'...great stuff. Kinky was a genius. Trained at La Masia he'd have been one of the best ever in my opinion. He looked like Messi when he got going!
