Roberto Mancini says Fernando Torres could have become a Manchester City player two years ago, were it not for his exorbitant price tag.

The Spain international opted instead to move from Liverpool to Chelsea for £50million.
Mancini will be hoping that Torres fails to fire on all cylinders when the two teams meet in a Premier League tie on Sunday, but admits the 28-year-old striker is always a threat.
"Two years ago we had a chance of signing Torres but after the price became too high we decided on other players," said Mancini.
"He's a good player. Every striker can have a difficult moment but for me he is always dangerous."
Torres netted 81 goals in 142 appearances for the Reds, but has only struck 19 times in 87 matches for the Blues.
