Bianchi sets City deadline

Rolando Bianchi will consider his future at Manchester City in December after admitting his disappointment at his lack of playing time for the Blues so far.

The Italian, Sven-Goran Eriksson's first signing as City boss in a move costing almost £9million from Reggina, has started only three of the team's nine Premier League games so far and been used as a substitute in a further four matches.

If Bianchi does not see more action, he has hinted he may look to move on when the January transfer window opens, saying: "I have set a reasonable deadline of December for things to change and then we will have to consider options as I don't like playing five or 10 minutes of games."
