Manchester City manager Roberto Mancini says that he wants all transfer talk put on ice until after Wednesday's Carling Cup semi-final showdown with Manchester Utd.
Mancini has been linked with a number of former Inter Milan stars this week, including Ivan Cordoba and Cristian Chivu and, most recently, is reported to be keen on a loan deal for Patrick Vieira.
The Italian boss, however, wants to cool any potential rumours until he can focus on them properly.
"All the players want to join Manchester City. That is normal with a big club who is going to have a big future,'' he said. "People are not only talking about Patrick Vieira, they are also saying Ivan Cordoba and Cristian Chivu.

"They are all good players but the most important thing for me is the match against Manchester United. The other things we can talk about with the club after the derby. We will see then."
Mancini has confirmed record signing Robinho and defender Micah Richards should be available for the midweek encounter, but Shaun Wright-Phillips, Nedum Onuoha and Roque Santa Cruz are major doubts through injury.
