Mancini wants more players
Manchester City manager Roberto Mancini hopes to bring in more
players before the transfer window closes after agreeing a fee with
Everton – believed to be £15 million – for midfielder Jack Rodwell.
Rodwell’s move from Goodison Park to City is expected to go through,
subject to him passing a medical, and it will make him Mancini’s first
capture of the summer. Mancini had declared himself “unhappy” on Friday
at the lack of new arrivals at the Etihad Stadium.
He said after the Community Shield win over Chelsea: “We are looking
for other players. I don’t know which players. I don’t want to say
which. Speak with Brian Marwood (sporting director).”
Mancini added: “I said I was unhappy (on Friday). It is normal. Every
manager is unhappy with one week to go and you haven’t bought any
players. I hope we are working and maybe this week or in 10 days we can
do something about this. I wait at this moment and tomorrow is the time
to talk about new players.”
