City to bid £16million for Mancini

[Bender]

Sven-Goran Eriksson has made a £16 million bid for Roma winger Amantino Mancini, according to reports.
The Daily Mirror reports that the Manchester City boss will also offer striker Rolando Bianchi as part of the deal to lure the former Liverpool target to Eastlands.

Roma rejected interest from the Reds for the Brazilian international last season.

Eriksson has money to spend and it is believed that the 27-year-old could be one of his first purchases.

He'd be a good signing for them.

Quality player.

I'd still love us to go in for him if we had the money.

City are dangerously close to overtake us......

Agreed but they will overtake us if we keep fecking it up against the 'smaller' teams and they don't.

[Shanks65]

Is this guy left sided or right?

Cos that Petrov doesn't look like he needs replacing

[redheart]

right sided and can play in the middle

Only need couple of signings like this one and they will be on a par with us plus they have a few players who are developing nicely, like Johnson, Richards, Ireland, Onouha and some other youngsters. With Elano, Petrov, Bojinov soon back, the likes of Mancini and a decent striker they will be looking good.

Oh, and the table doesn't lie does it?






Sorry about the pessimism though! I think Rafa will get us there eventually but it will be harder and harder.

Sven know how to build a team and he is getting backed by Shinawatra all the way. City are at the top to stay.

[Rich]

They'll have some attacking unit if they can get a decent striker to stick the ball away.

Petrov on the left, Mancini potentially on the right, Elano and/or Castillo through the middle...

The makings of a very strong team.

Looks like shinawatra woulnd't have been too bad after all

Shinawatra would be very bad IMO.
Look at the way he got his money, his wife just got arrested for corruption.
G&H might not have been what we dreamed of, but at least they `ve made their money legally.
There is some money I just won`t take.

Roman didn't make all of his money legally, apparently

[Iceman]

he made his first few million legally in the Thai telecoms industry, its only when he became Prime Minister that there was a whiff of corruption...... and that sadly is a way of life in that part of the world.

If yo delve into G & H's backgrounds I am sure neither of them would come out squeeky clean
