Mancini convinced Man City can land Barcelona outcast Ibrahimovic

The Manchester Evening News says City are set to step up their interest in Ibrahimovic after Barcelona signed David Villa.
Roberto Mancini is a big admirer of the lanky Swedish striker from their two title-winning season together at Inter Milan, and City have shown they are not afraid to go for Europe's top names.
Barca do tend to sell in order to off-set such extreme outlay like Villa, as they did last summer, when they paid out £42m for Ibrahimovic, sending City target Samuel Eto'o the other way to make the deal worth £62m.

Along with his mentor Mancini Ibra will become the favourite flogging horses for english journos next season if he indeed signs for City. Expect him to show some fancy stuff against teams like wolves while going AWOL in big games. Thats how his career has evolved. A flat track bully thts wht.
The EPL would tear Ibrahimovic up.
