The Blues were second bottom in the league with nine games remaining when Howard Kendall decided to strengthen his attack.Quinn was surplus to requirements at Arsenal and Kendall persuaded Peter Swales to shell out £900k for the striker. The effect was immediate. Quinn did what he was brought in to do and headed home an equaliser against Chelsea at Maine Road, then scored another three to keep City up.The striker would then play a huge role in the following seasons as City established themselves in the top flight, finishing in the top five two seasons running.Rolando BianchiThere was huge excitement prior to the 2007/08 season. City had been taken over by Thaksin Shinawatra and he installed Sven Goran-Erikssen as manager, replacing Stuart Pearce. The former England boss wasted no time spending the former Thai PM’s money, and Bianchi was high on his list.The Italian striker had scored 18 goals for Reggina the previous season and the faithful could barely contain their excitement as the new look Blues took to the pitch at West ham for the opening game of the season.It took Bianchi just 18 minutes to score his first goal in sky blue and that gave the fans an expectation of more to come. They would be seriously disappointed.Bianchi scored just four goals between August and December and Sven decided that was enough time for him to impress and promptly loaned him out to Lazio in January, before making a move to Torino the following summer. Geovanni also scored on his debut, but he also hit the winner against United in the derby, so he was fine!BenjaniThe transfer saga that was Benjani was was just typical of City. Sven had loaned Bianchi to Lazio, but only identified Benjani as his replacement at the end of January, right on transfer deadline day. The striker was supposed to move but somehow missed two planes to Manchester and didn’t arrive for his medical until after the window had closed. Somehow, City got the deal through and he signed in February. Benjani had been banging goals in for Portsmouth and he made his City debut in the red-hot atmosphere of Old Trafford. There was consternation prior to the match as it was the anniversary of the Munich air disaster and the behaviour of the City fans, who for years had chanted songs about Munich, was constantly being questioned. There was nothing to worry about as the faith were ‘impeccable’ as United called it and the day passed without incident.Benjani stole the show as his debut goal sent City 2-0 up in Stretford and secured City’s first win at Old Trafford since 1974. Sadly for Benjani, it didn’t quite work out for him in Manchester and he should really have missed the third plane. Injury played its part but Benjani would only score seven goals for City in three seasons and was released by the club in June 2010.Sergio AgueroNothing said ‘I’ve arrived’ like Sergio Aguero did in 2011. When the Argentine, and son-in-law of Diego Maradona, signed for the Blues for £32m, some eyebrows were raised. It also prompted one Sky Sports pundit to claim that Charlie Adam would be a better signing than Aguero.The striker started his City career on the bench for the opening match at home to Swansea and replaced Nigel de Jong in the 59th minute, The Blues were leading 1-0 thanks to Edin Dzeko but had been frustrated by the Premier League new boys, who kept the Blues at bay throughout the whole of the first half.It took Aguero just nine minutes to score, tapping in Micha Richards’ cross in the 68th minute. Three minutes later, the striker chased a hopeless ball and flicked it over his head for David Silva to rifle home for 3-0, claiming a goal and an assist on his debut.With the clock ticking down, Aguero decided the finish the night in style. 25 yards out, Aguero unleashed a stunning shot that flew past the keeper to make it 4-0. The Argentine would go on to become City’s all-time top goalscorer and go out with a bang, scorign another two in his final match at home to Everton in ten years later.Erling HaalandCity had coveted Haaland for a long time, even before his move from Salzburg to Dortmund in 2020. The Norwegian was scoring for fun in both leagues but many said Haaland wouldn’t do the same in the Premier League as it was tougher, faster and Haaland wouldn’t be able to keep up.Humble pie was duly served and many hats were eaten as a result of these failed predictions. Haaland exceeded all expectations in his first season and showed his intentions by bagging a brace on his debut at West Ham (City love debut goals at West Ham, Gabriel Jesus scored on his debut at the Hammers in 2019).Haaland’s first came from the penalty spot nine minutes before half time after he was brought down by the keeper. In the 65th minute, Haaland gave the City fans a glimpse of what was to come as he ran onto Kevin de Bruyne’s perfect pass to score his and City’s second. Haaland would go on to score 52 goals in 53 appearances in his debut season, and has hit 124 so far for the club. And with him signing a new contract in January, keeping him at the club until 2034, there are sure to be plenty more goals before he ends his tenure at the Etihad Stadium.
