Arguably the most overated to ever play for us
Medel is not even close to being one of the finest players to play for us
Obviously thats not the same Gary that played for us
He was clearly a good player but we didn't play like Chile and he was much less effective for us.
My feeling is that he left in spirit when Malky was sacked. He ran around for a few months more but was just going through the motions. More of a poodle than a pitbull. Very disappointing.
First time I have seen that vid, that has made me feel very uncomfortable
He is easily one of the finest players ever to play for us - in the top 5 - but not if you only look at performances in a City shirt.
He came with the reputation of smashing any patio set that got in his way. Bit of a let down.
Although I'm not suggesting it was wholly down to this, I think Jon is right - Medel was playing well enough for us until about the time Malky Mackay was sacked. After that, to use Lardy's phrase, he checked out as far as City were concerned - my attitude towards him and Caulker is that at least we got most, if not all, of the money we paid for them back, unlike so many others signed since Mackay left.
He was very influential for us and you noticed how much we missed him when he wasn't playing
He didn't play him, preferred John from the off set , and non full back skilled Connolly ,so Kev had no chance ,and he was far from crap, how can you make that deduction paling at that level when he was hardly given a chance ,wasn't it single figures ????
The thrust of my thread is about purchasing fewer players for a lot of money ,the value they brought balanced against better purchases , more of ,bigger squad with depth. .
There was a lot more crap about player wise and managerial then Kev,he wasn't the one to take us down .
Medel seemed to find himself as a square peg in a round hole pretty soon in to the whole affair.
I thought he was OK, I remember moments of excellence, but nothing like his performances for Chile nor apparently his other club teams before and possibly since.
How come I wonder.
