Roberto Mancini is ready to admit defeat in his attempts to take Javi Martinez, Daniele De Rossi and Daniel Agger to Manchester City.
The Italian has already missed out on two other major summer transfer targets - Eden Hazard, who joined Chelsea, and Robin van Persie, who left Arsenal for Manchester United.
Now Athletic Bilbao's Spain international Martinez is on the brink of moving to Bayern Munich, and De Rossi and Agger, who appear likely to remain at Roma and Liverpool respectively.
"We talked about Martinez," Mancini said. "But it is a situation that is not easy because there are top clubs who want Martinez. De Rossi is difficult because he is a Roma. Agger? I don't think so."
Mancini has only brought in one player - Everton's Jack Rodwell - but Martinez and De Rossi, who are also both capable of playing in the centre of midfield or defence, were his preferred options for that role.
And while the Italian insisted his relationship with City's football administrator Brian Marwood is fine, he reiterated his stance that the club should have acted earlier in the transfer window.
He added: "Sometimes it is not enough maybe to have money to spend. Sometimes you should move very quickly because when there are three or four top teams involved it is difficult."

My prediction is a typical Mancini bluff!
I have never seen Mancini bluff about transfers. If i remember correctly there has never been an instance where he said a player was coming/not coming and the opposite happened

Do you really think Mancini will admit to being close to De Rossi??
Players of this magnitude will be kept quiet until the fee accepted ssn headline appears!!
Bellamyend said:"De Rossi is difficult because he is a Roma" = "Yes, we are signing him this week"
I'm getting "Capitan Futuro" on my shirt on Monday. Convinced he's in the bag.

To be fair, Mancini gets asked about transfers alot more than he used too!
Our stock has risen, and therefore, we are alot more newsworthy! He has to field more questions now than he has previously.
Also I seem to remember, Mancini claimed Nasri, and Balotelli, would both be difficult. Pretty similar to what he is saying about DDR and Agger.

3 very good additions and one proven established player.
Come on Sunday and here is to another great season with our fantastic club and second to none supporters
: )
Just got word that it is an all but done deal, and a chat with Mancini is all that is needed to seal it.

All he has said it that De Rossi would be 'difficult', that doesn't rule us out at all.
