Mancini Not Interested With Suarez

Did Mancini really don't want Suarez?

"We won't buy Suarez because we have four strikers and Suarez plays for Liverpool." David Platt speaking on behalf of Mancini.

Mancini missed news conferences before and after last Saturday's 2-1 win against Tottenham, with Platt speaking on his behalf on those occasions.

Mancini also explained that he did not include Mario Balotelli in his squad to face Tottenham last weekend due to disappointing performances from the striker in training.

"Mario didn't play because it was my choice," said Mancini.

"I have 20 players and if there are some players that don't work well, they don't deserve to play.

"There were other players that worked better than Mario and they deserve to go on the bench."
