Manchester City boss Roberto Mancini has warned Emmanuel Adebayor and Craig Bellamy that they are not part of his plans for the new season.[LNB] Both players are free to leave the club this summer but neither has managed to secure a move away as yet.[LNB]Even if Carlos Tevez leaves, Mancini is insistent that neither Bellamy nor Adebayor are likely to feature much this season.[LNB]"These players [Adebayor and Bellamy] are not part of my plans," said the Italian in The People.[LNB]Meanwhile, Mancini has revealed his frustration at having to deal with Mario Balotelli.[LNB]"I have to speak to Mario every single day and I think maybe now I need a psychologist," said Mancini.[LNB]"I don't know why he does the things he does, except to say that he is a young guy who will eventually grow up.[LNB]"But I have known him since he was 17 and he is even worse now than he was then. We all do crazy things. I did crazy things, you did crazy things.[LNB]"But players these days are different to what they were 20 years ago. When I was a young player I was stronger mentally than players these days. We had less money but more hunger.[LNB]"Mario is young and I understand he is home sick because it is not easy for a young guy to be away from his family.[LNB]"Sometimes I have been really disappointed with him and at other times I understand his behaviour.[LNB]"But I think he must now understand that he must improve his behaviour for the good of the team."
