Man City boss Mancini admits regret over Adebayor Spurs move

Manchester City boss Roberto Mancini admits regret allowing Emmanuel Adebayor to join Tottenham on-loan after the problems with Carlos Tevez.

Adebayor has been a big success for Spurs since his August arrival.

When asked whether might have liked to have called upon Adebayor in those circumstances, Mancini said: "Probably, probably - but we didn't know with Carlos what would happen in Munich.

"We had four strikers. I think with four strikers you can play one year.

"I am happy for Manu because he is playing very well for Tottenham."
