Man City boss Mancini insists they can still attract big names

Manchester City boss Roberto Mancini is confident he can attract major names to Eastlands this summer.

Mancini must strengthen his squad this summer without the carrot of Champions League football to lure players to Eastlands.

"I always preferred to win with a club that hasn't won for many years," he said. "When you choose a club where you are trying to change the history, it is good for a player and manager.

"I stayed at Sampdoria for 15 years because I loved the club. They had never won and I wanted to win with them.

"Then I went to Lazio. They had not won anything for 20 years. It was the same with Inter. At Fiorentina I won the Coppa Italia.

"I always believe something can happen in football."
