Mancini warning for City duo

Last updated : 07 August 2011 By Team Talk

Both players are free to leave the club this summer but neither has managed to secure a move away as yet.

Even if Carlos Tevez leaves, Mancini is insistent that neither Bellamy nor Adebayor are likely to feature much this season.

"These players [Adebayor and Bellamy] are not part of my plans," said the Italian in The People.

Meanwhile, Mancini has revealed his frustration at having to deal with Mario Balotelli.

"I have to speak to Mario every single day and I think maybe now I need a psychologist," said Mancini.

"I don't know why he does the things he does, except to say that he is a young guy who will eventually grow up.

"But I have known him since he was 17 and he is even worse now than he was then. We all do crazy things. I did crazy things, you did crazy things.

"But players these days are different to what they were 20 years ago. When I was a young player I was stronger mentally than players these days. We had less money but more hunger.

"Mario is young and I understand he is home sick because it is not easy for a young guy to be away from his family.

"Sometimes I have been really disappointed with him and at other times I understand his behaviour.

"But I think he must now understand that he must improve his behaviour for the good of the team."
