Roberto Mancini could bring new players to Manchester City in January
Manchester City boss Roberto Mancini has said the club could sign new players and offload some in the January transfer window.
Since his arrival at City in December 2009, Mancini has spent £140million on new signings.
Despite the team's lavish spending of late, which has exceeded all other Premier League clubs, the Italian has now said that he could look to spend further in the next transfer window should some of his
current players choose to leave Eastlands.
Strikers Roque Santa Cruz and Emmanuel Adebayor, who have fallen behind Carlos Tevez and Mario Balotelli in the manager's pecking order this season, are two players who could leave the club midway through
the league campaign.
"Anything can happen in January," Mancini told
Sky Sports, leaving all options open ahead of the transfer window. "If some players want to leave because they want to play somewhere else then it is different. But at the moment there are no problems."
Lesser teams not easier opponents
After collecting eight points from their league fixtures against Liverpool, Tottenham, Chelsea, Manchester United and Arsenal this season, City now have a series of fixtures against teams below them in
the table before their trip to face Arsenal on 5 January.
"They are going to be difficult games," Mancini told City's official website about his team's upcoming fixtures. "We have played all the top teams, but now if we want to go up the table we have to beat
these kinds of teams, but it will not be easy."
On Saturday 13 November, City host Birmingham City, an encounter that Mancini insisted will be no walkover for his team, whose goalless draw against United came only three days prior.
"It will be a difficult game, I watched them play Stoke the other night and they are a good side, with a good manager [Alex McLeish]. Playing every three days is tiring, and they played a day before us
so they may have recovered more than us."
