Someone pointed out to me today that our latest transfer target Sergio Aguero, a deal that is as good as a done deal if you believe what you read, is essentially just a better looking version of Carlos Tevez. Is this Mancini’s plan? To upgrade our squads looks to fit in with the image of the club? Is Aguero equivalent in skill to Tevez (probably not)? Who will replace Adam Johnson? Why am I – a 28 year old, heterosexual man – even pondering this? So many questions…

A Man City fan since the age of 14 and lover of both watching and playing football football since I can remember, I've spent a decade and a half watching City enthrall, excite and disappoint me in equal measures.
