Finally, Roberto Mancini will be able to have more precise ideas on the prospects of the season ahead. Tomorrow is the meeting with Thohir in Portland, just small talk, more or less formal, with the president who will reiterate the utter most confidence, or nearly so, of the club for him. However, Mancini longs to meet with the people who really matter in the club now; and that will be on Wednesday July 27th when in New York, Mancini will be able to sit at a table with who’s really in charge, Juan Ren, I Xin, he Jun, Yang Yang and especially Steven Zhang (son of the great leader Jindong, who however, has not yet confirmed his attendance at the meeting)”
Waiting for the big meeting with the leadership, Roberto Mancini will take stock on the transfer market situation with Piero Ausilio who should arrive in the US on Monday, while yesterday Williamson joined the team.
“The market is not my job, I do not know what will happen.” These were the words of Mancini from Salt Lake City. These were bitter words, because he is used to personally choosing the players to buy since his time at Sampdoria when he was still a player and gave advice to the president Mantovani. He has always done this with Massimo Moratti as well, when whatever he asked for, he obtained.”
