Another round of the infamous Alex Ferguson 'mind games' could be in the offing, following the Manchester United managers quotes yesterday.Without naming a club he has claimed the spending in the Premier League is well over the top, with clubs splashing out on players in kamikaze style.
Fergie believes more clubs should follow his own blue print, bleeding youngsters into the side to develop alongside the more experienced figures.
This summers signings of Chris Smalling, Bebe and the already impressive Javier Hernandez is in stark contrast to their neighbours across the City.
The Eastlands outfit are set to take their spending above the £100m mark when James Milner officially becomes a Manchester City player.
Although the most decorated manger in Premier League history is not alone in thinking they can't instantly buy success.
Real Madrid have famously tried this with the galactico's and won nothing, and had another go at this unsuccessful formula last year with similarly bad consequences.
With Jose Mourinho's installation they have stopped this incessant need to buy big names, with the 'special one' building a solid side.
Their signings of Sami Khedira and Mesut Ozil, two of Germany's most impressive performers in this summer World Cup, for just £24m shows this.
They have established themselves in their national side, and show huge promise for the future.
For a similar fee City are buying a player who has some Premier League pedigree, is in or around his national side and justifies his inflated fee after one brilliant season last term.
Ferguson and the others who have tipped City for another baron year could be just right.
They should spend their money more wisely if they want the success everyone connected with the club craves.
