Mancini: Faced down the media

Manchester City boss Roberto Mancini renewed his love-hate relationship with the media on Friday, fending off questions on new signings as well as his future.

City were recently linked with a move for Luis Suarez, although the club have rubbished reports claiming that they are lining up a £50million bid for the Liverpool ace.

There has also been talk of Mario Balotelli's possible exit in January as the controversial striker struggles to secure a regular starting berth at Eastlands.

Added to the player buzz, Mancini is rumoured to be considering a move to French outfit Monaco.

Mancini, who gave the pre-and-post match press conferences for last week's clash with Tottenham a miss, addressed reporters ahead of Saturday's visit of Aston Villa.

The Italian, tiring of all the speculation, said: "It is not true, I don't know.

"For two weeks we talk about Monaco, after (Pep) Guardiola, after another manager, now Suarez, now Mario (Balotelli).

"We have a good team and we don't need to buy another player in January.

"We can't buy Suarez or another player because we have four strikers and Suarez plays for Liverpool."
