Manchester City's Robinho keen to hold talks with Roberto Mancini
The Brazilian, whose future has been the topic of widespread speculation this season, had been linked with a January move to Barcelona. But with Mark Hughes' dismissal at the weekend, it appears the 25-year-old now wants to hear Mancicni's plans for moving Manchester City forward. [LNB]Robinho said: "I want to talk with Mancini. I've heard good news about his work and City still have plenty of time to finish the season well. [LNB]"The decision for Hughes to go was down to the owners but it did not come as a surprise after all the rumours. [LNB]"But the Champions League zone is not so far for us and we are in the Carling Cup semi-finals. Performances have not been so negative as some people think." [LNB]Mancini is set to be unveiled at a press conference at 4:30pm today and it seems the Italian is relishing the chance to enjoy being a part of what he regards as a more "enjoyable" league. [LNB]Having won three Serie A titles with Inter, Mancini has said that despite how high profile Hughes' sacking was, the media attention in England will be nothing compared with what he experience in Italy. [LNB]"England seems more fun," he said. "Both for players and managers. Italy's the hardest place to be a coach because it's always the results that count. [LNB]"It doesn't matter if you play well - if you don't get the result they crucify you."[LNB]
