Latest I seen, Mancini's move to Roma has been squashed by The Special One. Any news of this?

Move to genoa was squashed. Don't know why mou wanted mancini to stay. Yeah it seems rq and mancini will be warming the stands still january unless there's a last minute bid from abroad, Italian market closed at 19:00. Kerlon has gone to ajax on loan.

Had to dig this thread up.

Seems like the hot topic on the Barca boards at the moment is the possible move for Robinho.

News headlines in Barcelona this morning.

Sheik Mansour will close the operation with Laporta in a few weeks.

Manchester City’s owner said “yes”

Robinho will change City’s jersey for Barça’s from January

Robinho was a reported favorite of the Sheikh and the billionaire was reluctant to let go of him. However, good performances from Hughes’ team without Robinho have highlighted the dispensability of the Brazilian. Personal pushes from the Welshman finally managed to convince Sheikh Mansour to agree for the negotiations.With the go-ahead from the Sheikh, the path for Barcelona to make an official offer now seems clear of obstacles.

The ball is now in Barcelona’s court. The transfer is still far from accomplished as there are several other aspects to consider. The valuation of the winger is one. Secondly, the kind of deal to be offered – whether a loan or a permanent transfer. With this acceptance of the Sheikh, the biggest hurdle in the transfer of Robinho has been cleared. The spotlight is now on Laporta and Txiki and it remains to be seen what their next step would be.
