Slow buying vexing Mancini

ROBERTO MANCINI is concerned Manchester City’s failure to get their transfer business done quickly this summer could come back to haunt them.

Although efforts to secure Samir Nasri from Arsenal are continuing, even if the French midfielder signed it would now be too late for him to be involved in the Barclays Premier League opener against Swansea on Monday night.

Despite being labelled the richest club in the world thanks to the wealth of Abu Dhabi-based owner Sheikh Mansour, it was into July before the Blues added to last season’s squad with the additions of Gael Clichy from Arsenal and defender Stefan Savic from Partizan Belgrade.
