If I were Mancini I'd do exactly as you suggested. Call them in the office and give them good bollocking. Tell them in no uncertain terms that they are contracted to Club and we are planning to keep them both. Fine them both two weeks wages and tell them that if you see them in papers so much as telling their favourite food, they'll be fined months wages and given spanking by the bootman.

Harry Redknapp has said Manchester City are happy to allow Craig Bellamy to move to Fulham on loan but the Tottenham Hotspur manager is frustrated at City's refusal to do a deal with his club.

Redknapp has expressed an interest in a number of City players, mindful not only of their quality but of City's requirement to trim their squad to meet the Premier League's new regulations. Bellamy has been a long-term target while Redknapp has chased Micah Richards since the end of last season yet he fears the pursuit is doomed to failure. City do not want to lose Richards as it would leave them short of cover at right-back. Redknapp has also made an unsuccessful loan inquiry for the centre-half Joleon Lescott.

City lost out to Tottenham last season in the race for the fourth Champions League place and they consider them to be among their rivals again this time out. As such, they are reluctant sellers to them in the transfer market. The Fulham manager, Mark Hughes – who has worked with Bellamy at Blackburn Rovers, City and Wales – has made the striker his top target and he may draw encouragement from Redknapp's comments.

"They [City] must want to sell Bellamy but they wouldn't want to loan him to us," Redknapp said. "Richards wouldn't be a goer, not really. I don't think they want to loan anyone to us. That's why they would loan Fulham Bellamy but wouldn't loan people to us."

Redknapp agreed a £6m deal for the highly rated 21-year-old Brazil midfielder Sandro in March but the player does not arrive until after his current club, Internacional, with whom Tottenham have a tie-up, conclude their Copa Libertadores final against Chivas Guadalajara this week. Internacional lead 2-1 going into Wednesday's second-leg.

It has been a frustrating summer for Redknapp, who has missed out on the signatures of Joe Cole and Scott Parker. He hopes to sign the goalkeeper Stipe Pletikosa from Spartak Moscow and has said he has an interest in the central defender William Gallas, who is a free agent after leaving Arsenal.

Redknapp said he had narrowly failed to pull off a deal for a star player at one of England's top clubs, although he refused to name him. "There was one particular player, I just think would have been amazing for this club, an amazing signing and I really thought we had a real chance," he said. "He's at a big club and it'd be difficult. Where? In England.

"It was just getting the one or two who could make the difference. I don't need to bring decent players in, players who you say: 'Is he better than this one? Well, there's not much in it.' I wouldn't bother. I'd rather stick with what I've got."

Ledley King has said he will not follow Paul Robinson and Wes Brown in announcing his England retirement, although, given his chronic knee trouble, it seems unlikely that he will feature again at international level.

"I won't pull myself out but first thing's first, I need to come back here [to Tottenham] and try and stay fit," King said. "It's about staying fit here and we'll look at it from there."

Redknapp said: "If England play midweek, Ledley can't play on Saturday for Tottenham. It's nothing the boy can do."

“It is impossible for me to keep all the players happy,” said the Italian.

“It is the same for any manager. But we play every three days and all the players will probably play at some time.”

Mancini also reiterated his rebuttal of Bellamy’s claim that he has not spoken to the Welshman, or to newly-crowned captain Carlos Tevez, for six months.

“I speak with all the players – apart from Bellamy!” he said with a smile.

“Every player can walk into my office and speak with me every day.”

Emmanuel Adebayor is also said to be unhappy after starting on the bench at Spurs but Mancini says it is too early for players to be hammering on his door.

“Not after the first game,” he said. “After 15 games, maybe yes. Not now.”

Mancini also sided with Arsene Wenger, who slammed the new 25-man squad rules introduced by the Premier League, claiming it disadvantages clubs who play in European competition.

“I agree with Wenger,” said Mancini. “It is ridiculous if a club has 28 or 29 players, why can’t they play? It’s a strange decision.”
