The thing I can't get out of my head though is what Mancini said a little longer than a week ago. Someone asked him if we can rule out City signing Ibra during this window. This is the quote from The Mirror, but I remember watching it during a press conference on the Official Site:

Mancini cryptic over Ibrahimovic move - Exclusive

Roberto Mancini has refused to rule out a bid for Barcelona striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic before the transfer deadline, despite his club’s asking price of around £40million.

“The market closes on August 31,” said the Manchester City boss cryptically, before breaking into a smile.

Asked about a strike force of Ibrahimovic, Carlos Tevez and Mario Balotelli, worth just shy of £100m, Mancini said: “It’s not bad, but it’s not one that will happen easily. I’m only prepared to say that Zlatan is still one of the best strikers in the world.”

There are only three clubs that are capable of signing Ibra - AC Milan (who cannot afford him), Manchester City and Real Madrid,(don't forget Jose was the one who sold him to Barca)

Real Madrid - Barcelona won't sell to them I reckon. Why sell to a title rival?

AC Milan & City - I somehow think Robinho will play a huge part in this. Robinho to AC Milan as a peace offering as a way of saying you can have him and we'll pay a certain amount of his wages if you give us a free run @ Ibra?

Not ITK, just an idea / possible scenario.

Agree in principle with what you are saying, Real could never let Robbi go to Barca, but City now could part ex + cash for Ibra.

As for Ade, yes, I can see AC happening.

Only way he would come is if Barcelona got on the phone and offered him to City at a bargain. Mancini is no mug and wont go chasing the past with buckets of cash...

I'd love to have Zlatan here, but it's going to be extreamly hard to pull of now.

We have enough in that area of the pitch anyway.

i am sure that his agent is the same as ballotelli, so u never know we may be a lot further down the line with this than we know.

As I said a few pages back, Ibra will go to Milan if anywhere at all this window. Barcelona and Milan are in an advanced stage of negotiations, Pep wants to get rid of Ibra (and thus making sure he will never have anything to do with Ibra's agent ever again), AC Milan wants him, Ibra and his wife would like to move back to Milan and Italy.

Would his only option be to warm the bench or stay in the reserves at Barcelona or play for Manchester City, then I think a deal might be plausible.
But if he (Ibra) could choose between making an obscene amount of money here in Manchester, or not nearly as much in Italy he would choose Italy. He loves the country and knows his particular style of football is well suited for their league.

So I figure as it stands now I highly doubt any transfer to us, even though Ibra would love to work with Mancini again.
