// A bit of a hack but it works// The article snippet is wrapped onto a second line, even when #article-sub is emptyif( $("div#article-sub").children().length == 0 ) {$("div#article-sub").remove();} Luca Toni's agent has spoken out to clear up confusion surrounding his client's future.[LNB] Jose Alberti has been quoted as saying that he is Toni's agent and that the Bayern Munich striker was close to a return to Italy with Roma.[LNB]The 32-year-old Italy international has also been linked with a move to England with West Ham this summer following the arrival of Mario Gomez and Ivica Olic at Bayern.[LNB]But Tullio Tinti has now addressed the Italian press, insisting he is Toni's sole representative and threatening to take legal action.[LNB]"I don't know Jose Alberti," he said. "The player's affairs are managed only by me.[LNB]Falsehood"Alberti's words are untrue and I distrust this person, who I don't know, to talk about a situation which does not concern him.[LNB]"Should he continue, I'll use legal action," Tinti continued.[LNB]"A person who presents himself as a manager of a person who they don't represent damages their credibility."[LNB]Tinti then went on to confirm that there are no discussions taking place with Roma and that Toni is focused on his duties with his German club.[LNB]"At this moment, there are no negotiations," he said.[LNB]"Luca is a Bayern Munich player and he's currently recovering from an inflamed tendon."[LNB]
