Newsie Bits for 13.01.2008
•Deki's in the team for Siena today. Let us all pray that Mancio doesn't use him too soon, and break him. Again.
•The on-again, off-again deal for Maniche is on-again, this time for real. Mancini is praising him, and explaining how important the fact that he's not cup-tied was to his appeal, and the agreement no longer has the clever clause in it about Inter having to buy him if they win the Scudetto. (Nice try, though, Atletico Madrid.) The detail are being sorted out now, and it's theoretically only "a matter of hours."
•Middlesboro are supposedly close to a deal for Goran Slavkovski. What? No!
•Moratti is talking about how Inter could have signed Pato, if they'd wanted to spend the money. Dude, shut up. Nobody cares.
•As part of the team's endless search for more midfielders, Inter will supposed have scouts at the African Cup of Nations watching a couple of them: Moustapha Sall (he's 22) and Pascal Feindouno (he's 26), both of whom play their domestic football for Saint-Etienne.
•In an interview with La Gazzetta yesterday, Zlatan said all the right things about winning titles (Five in five seasons for him!), Inter being awesome, and wanting to stay until 2012. (By which he means "forever and ever.")
•Also, in case you missed it, Fetus!Ibrahimovic is going to be a boy because, as Zlatan said, "I am a man, I make men. Don't you know."
