Cedric Roussel did ok. Clement should have been a top player for us. Got injured then Strachan never gave him another look in. Ended up playing over 100 times for Belgium.

Cobi Jones, Rudi Kaiser, Phillipe Clement
De Zeeuw - Had the turning circle of an oil tanker.
Nii Lamptey
Runnar Norman
Laurent Delorge - Never seen a player pull out of so many tackles in his life
He played in that 5-1 home defeat to Newcastle, got bullied by shearerAgree about Jean Guy Willamme. Saw his debut for the reserves playing along side Gary Breen. The pair of them looked brilliant together and think Strachan at the time said you could have "set it to music", they really did look good that night.
After that remember seeing him at home against West Ham with big John Hartson crashing into him for 90 minutes. Don't recall seeing him in a City shirt again (could be wrong) and the next I hear is off back to France. Real shame as I thought apart from the physical side he had a lot to offer.
He was a proper player. He just didn't gel with us.The thing that always annoyed me about Cobi Jones was that he wasn't the American that we wanted, according to the press. Alexi Lalas was the man we were after. But on his debut he went on some mad run and won a penalty, against Leeds I think, and looked like he was going to be a proper player. Shame it didn't turn out that way.
Yazid Mansouri was different class in an away win at Derby. Then disappeared.We had 2 players from Honduras, Ivan Guerrero and Javier Martinez in the same season under Strachans reign, I think both were internationals which got everyones attention. One only made a few appearances, the other barely touched the first team squad. And would Moldovan be classed as never making it although he is a legend for that one goal against Villa in the Cup ? :cigar:
And thanksI've just hit the Wiki page for Coventry's Overseas players. List of Coventry City F.C. international footballers - Wikipedia
There are some I've never heard of, even though they have made at least 1 senior appearance
Onandi Lowe in 2004
Yazid Mansouri in 2004

Absolutely. Much like Stewart Robson.Perdomo was an outstanding player. He wasn’t fit and came to us in a final attempt to save his career.
Except Cedric Roussell?And all the bloody Belgiums we signed.
