Anyone else find this disgraceful?

INTER STILL WANT TOURE

Inter Milan manager Roberto Mancini says he has not given up hope of signing Yaya Tourefrom Manchester City.

The midfielder has said that he is ‘definitely’ staying at the Etihad, but Mancini still hopes to change his mind.

"I spent six months explaining to him what he would find at Inter, then he spoke with his club and he fell off of our radar," Mancini toldLa Stampa.

"But I haven't given up on this, I'm waiting to hear his own side of the story and in the meantime I remain hopeful. Or else why would he have spent six months telling me that he wanted to come to Milan?"

So he's basically admitting to 6 months of tapping up. Tis Italian football though, this is probably seen as acceptable.

City apparently preparing a 2nd bid for sterling....

if they weren't up to £35m could be tempted... But I think LFC will say we don't need to sell and will hold out for more then £40m
 
Could be a good signing for them although don't think he's the CB they need atm.

Id think they needed a top CB in his prime to play alongside the young players they have like smelling.
