Man City boss Mancini says Robinho, Given, Santa Cruz can leave
Manchester City manager Roberto Mancini says Shay Given, Robinho and Roque Santa Cruz can leave Eastlands.
The Italian boss said earlier this week that he would be open to the exit of goalkeeper Given after favouring Joe Hart in the number one jersey for City's Premier League opener and Thursday's Europa League clash against FC Timisoara.
And he has now said, although he values the services of Robinho and Santa Cruz, he would not stand in their way if they request to leave.
Brazilian Robinho is attracting interest from Besiktas, Fenerbahce and Schalke, while Paraguay star Santa Cruz is being monitored by Fulham and West Ham, and neither player is likely to be content with a spot on the fringes of the City first team this term.
"If Robinho, Shay or Roque want to stay, I'm happy because they are fantastic players, but it is most important the players are happy," Mancini told The Times.
Mancini also added that the future of Robinho is likely to be decided within the next "five or six days".

Poor Given. I think Arsenal should bid for this World Class Stopper. Might just be the final puzzle they need.

Given shld not leave Newcastle fr City.
Now branded a traitor, some Geordies might not want him back since they've got some good up-coming youngsters.
Even if Arsenal wants him, City might not let him go to a top flight epl rival club. Or make Gunners pay big which is no go for wenger.
Chelsea might be next choice, but he intends 2 B no.2? Again City still against that as The Blues are main EPL rival.
Same for ManU & Liverpool doesn't need a replacement of goalie.
Which leaves Fulham as their aussie is negotiating a move to Gunner.

Already said that Citeh would not sell to rivals.
How about Schwarzer going to Arsenal and Shay Given going to Fulham. Given can unite with Mark Huges.
