There was nothing wrong with Cousin's ability, he was a decent player, he just thought he should be at Barca and couldn't really be arsed unless we were playing one of the top four.
Indeed, but Burgess was 12 seasons ago now and Jelavic has been missing through injury frustratingly often. So in short, we've barely had decent strikers to call upon in the last 10 years, and when we did it only lasted a year at a time.
It was 2003-04 that he scored 18 goals. He then missed most of the following season through injury and never really scored big again for us.
He had a good season with Rangers and then it was all down hill. Nobody beat a path to our door to sign him. He was cr@p.
And yet, at the emirates, he gave a lot of people one of their memorable moments as a city supporter. Having said that, Jimmy did the same at Bramhall Lane.
Mendy was excellent in his cameo at Old Trafford, but his performance at Liverpool was one of the best from a City player in the top-flight. He absolutely tore them apart, and Lucas couldn't handle him whatsoever. However, my most memorable Mendy moment was this, at Blackburn in our first ever away game in the Premier League: "Is it a bird?! Is it a plane?! NO! It's Bernaldo's attempt at a header!" please log in to view this image
