Another player who disappeared from view at the end of the season. We last saw him start a game at Blackburn on February 12 when he was part of a City defence that conceded three soft goals. After that he made just one appearance as a substitute and more often than not failed to even make the bench. Had a decent spell in mid-season, but so far Doherty's big-money move from Spurs hasn't been a success.

Verdict: The Republic of Ireland international is still under contract at Carrow Road – but it wouldn't exactly come as a massive shock if there was a parting of the ways during the summer.
