Man City and Inter Milan 'in Carlos Tevez talks'
Both Milan clubs are keen on signing Manchester City striker Tevez Manchester City have opened talks with Inter Milan over the sale of striker Carlos Tevez.
City have held discussions with AC Milan but are frustrated with the Italian champions' insistence on a loan deal with an option to buy.
Tevez's representatives have yet to hold discussions with Inter and no fee has been agreed for the 27-year-old.
The Argentine prefers a move to AC Milan and his advisors want to finalise a deal before the window closes.
Inter Milan president Massimo Moratti said on Monday: "If you do something you don't do it as a joke but because you think it can be a good operation.
"We've acquired information on how things are going, there's room to act, we'll see if we can do it or not.
"There are still three weeks left. It's not about being optimistic but rather seeing how things are."
Fifth-placed Inter trail leaders AC Milan by 10 points having had a poor start to the Serie A season and the two teams face each other in the league at the weekend.
Tevez has not played for City since they beat Birmingham on 21 September.
City boss Roberto Mancini alleged he refused to come off the substitutes' bench in September's Champions League defeat at Bayern Munich, while the player maintained there had been a misunderstanding.
An internal club investigation concluded that Tevez, who joined City in July 2009, was guilty of five breaches of his contract and he was fined four weeks' wages, reduced to two following intervention from the Professional Footballers' Association.

David Beckham 'wipes nose' with Man City shirt after meeting Mario Balotelli
David Beckham was all smiles when he met Mario Balotelli at the Etihad stadium during Manchester United's 3-2 win over City, but after the polite exchange the 36-year-old seemed to wipe his nose with a Man City shirt.
Beckham is known for his polite nature and respectful attitude so it may have come as a surprise when the former England captain seemed to use a Man City jersey to blow his nostrils.
The LA Galaxy midfielder's son Brooklyn, 12, thrust the shirt into his dad's face, but instead of pushing the top away, Golden Balls smiled and may have taken the chance to quickly clean his nose.
Or maybe we misunderstood and the former Manchester United man was switching his allegiances and now declaring his love for City by kissing their badge?
Either way the move is bound to cause a stir in Manchester, something Becks' new friend Balotelli knows a thing or two about.
Not content with his Christmas shenanigans, the 21-year-old Italian has decided to continue his mischief into the new year.
The former Inter Milan striker recently challenged a Manchester United supporter to a game on a punchball machine, but the City hitman came off second best even though he took a run up to hit the machine.

I said a few weeks ago that the sudden emergence of a Sturridge apologist on here, allied to Bob's praise in the media, could mean something is afoot. Imo though, if he comes here, he'll just end up sat on the bench all the time when people notice the number of attacks he fucks up as opposed to the ones he succeeds with.

Having said that, he couldn't have been worse than Nasri v rags.

Held us to ransome already and if he's doing the same with Chelsea its surely only a matter of time before he plays up again.

I think we can get better for whatever inflated price he'll go for. In fairness, cant really blame him for wanting to better his career at the time he left us, but it just seems that he's got no desire to sit on the bench (which he'd have to do for us) and plays only for himself which i dont think Bobby manc would enjoy too much. Plenty of talent though.

In other news, Our Mario "dismisses speculation linking him with a return to Italy. "The Premier League has been a new experience, even if at first it was difficult," he says. "But if I have to tell the whole truth now, it's that I'm really happy here." bbc.

Not only is Rio Ferdinand a magazine owner and renowned merking expert, but the Manchester Utd star is also a restauranteur. Italian eatery Rosso — imaginatively named after the Italian word for 'red' — opened in 2009 on Manchester's King St. It offers a traditional Italian menu, modern decor and a kitchen that's ideal for storing large amounts of drugs. The Daily Mail reports:
A chef from Rio Ferdinand's restaurant in Manchester has been cautioned after police said they discovered of 29 bags of cannabis in a staff locker.

The 55-year-old was cautioned by police after they went to the footballer's city centre Italian, Rosso.
The junior chef was arrested on suspicion of possession with intent to supply and he no longer works at Rosso.
This isn't the first negative publicity Rosso has encountered. Rio enthusiastically told a magazine that "plenty of footballers pop in for some quality food after matches," before the restaurant had actually opened, and opinions concerning the quality of the food have been mixed — one reviewer condemned the desserts as "the type of thing you might imagine you'd find in an Italian restaurant in Eccles in 1978." And those desserts weren't enough to satiate Wayne Rooney, as professional love maker Jenny Thompson claims to have administered her services on the striker during a 2010 visit.

So, if you want to eat (allegedly) bad food cooked by a (purported) drug-dealing chef at a table where a married balding millionaire was (supposedly) pleasured by a prostitute, you know where to go.
