ONE MAN SURELY counting down the days until the January transfer window opens is Manchester City boss Roberto Mancini.
Following the Italian’s enormous row with striker Carlos Tevez, the Argentine international has been waiting for the opportunity to move on from the Premier League – with AC Milan, Juventus and Paris Saint-Germain among his reported suitors.
Tevez is currently absent without permission from City – having been dropped by Mancini – and YouTube footage has now emerged of the player singing on stage with a musician, seemingly enjoying his unexpected Christmas break from football.

Social media also provided football supporters with a fantastic rumour about another Manchester City player on Saturday evening.
Twitter came alive with talk that Mario Balotelli was driving around Manchester dressed as Santa Claus and handing out £20.
The story was never confirmed by any source likely to be in the know, but the general reaction was indicative of the impression the Italian continues to make in the Premier League following a series of interesting mishaps in recent months.
