Even when Mancini was quizzed about USA star Landon Donovan he replied

“He is a good player. It could be possible.” Now call me Captain Sensible but surely saying something like “absolutely no chance, we don’t need him.” might be a better way of getting the price down should there be any substance to Mancini’s comment?

City have made the bed that they will have to lie in for the duration of their Sheiky Love In. John Terry was not for sale. Neither was satta king Lescott. Or Santa Cruz for that matter. This fact did not put City off in the warped belief that every player has his price. It is no surprise that they are being held to ransom as they once again employ the scatter gun approach of linking themselves with every player possible.

The problem is that the price of anybody half decent is vastly inflated so every other club is sitting waiting for City to close their wallet. Then they can all go out and see who is left or grab a bargain from the host of rejects that Mancini deems surplus to requirements at Eastlands.
