Mancini Trial

Sven Goran Excellent has again used his friendships within the game and as a result Manchester City have handed a two week trial to Filippo Mancini, the son of Inter boss Roberto.City boss Sven Goran Eriksson and Mancini senior are close friends following their time together as player and manager at both Sampdoria and Lazio and arranged for the youngster to move to City.Regarded as one for the future, Mancini will train with the club's Academy stars during his stay in England. This has to be seen as a good thing and an indication that Sven is looking to the future but I myself, and I am sure many other City fans, are more interested in who will come in now who is ready to jump into the first team and can score goals.
