Now that the Special One has confirmed the exit of Inter midfielder, Patrick Vieira, odds are the French international will be able to escape Serie A for Premiership pitches, as he is rumored to be heading to Man City. As you'll remember, Mancini was responsible for bringing Vieira to Italy as Inter's manager, and now he is eager to bring Vieira in for his leadership qualities, while the Frenchman is happy to finally have a chance at first team football...and the potential for a World Cup spot come summer.
In other January transfer window news:
- Mancini also had eyes for Juan Sebastian Veron, but the Argentinian maestro has decided to stay at Estudiantes instead of returning to England. The man has learned the lessons of Figo, where his NT teammate, Carlos Tevez, obvi missed the memo.
- Leeds' FA Cup hero Jermaine Beckford has put in his request to leave Elland Road, with Newcastle United as front runners in the race to procure his services.
- Liverpool fans can look forward to having Atleti forward Maxi Rodriguez join their ranks, though Rafa may not have the funds to keep him on anything but a temporary basis.
