Inter manager Roberto Mancini has been busy in the transfer market so far this January, with Lukas Podolski and Xherdan Shaqiri arriving at the San Siro on loan moves that have excited the fans, but with the failure to return to the Champions League having harmed the finances they could have to sell to fund Mancini’s reshaping of his squad.
