Mancini was lined up for the City job some 3 weeks before the start of the January transfer window. In that time he must have thought what deals he could do to get the 4th. place, which is vital to his retention next season.
He's been at City for over 3 weeks now, and apart from the free transfer signing of Vieira, we have heard little or nothing about impending deals.
It has even been suggested that the current squad, once they all return from injury, will be good enough to see us through.
After today, I hope he is already on the phone to Cook setting up at least 4 deals.
We are STILL crying out for a centre half, a full back, a midfield playmaker, and now a forward (with the likelihood that injuries will take their toll of our forwards).
We are the richest club on the planet... use that advantage.
Time is of the essence.
