to be fair we've had a dearth of consistent strikers.. over the last 10 years only Jelavic, Fryatt, Windass, Campbell & Burgess have done the business over a season

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.
 
One thing I will say about Cousin, I not that long ago watched on tv a repeat of the Man Utd 4-3 game and he was absolutely ****ing outstanding. I didnt really notice on the day but he ran their defence absolutely ragged on his own. If you dont believe me watch it yourself. Of course I know 1 - or maybe 2 if you include Emirates - games doesnt mean he was a good signing but he showed he could do it at the highest level. Actually thinking about it wasnt that something we were warned about by Rangers fans - that he only turned it on in the big games?

Mendy was also outstanding that day if memory serves me correct?

time passes too quickly, was it 12?
 
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 also outstanding that day if memory serves me correct?
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!"
