Ferguson blasts City’s ‘kamikaze’ spending tactics

ALEX FERGUSON has launched the first volley of fire across Manchester City’s bows by condemning the “kamikaze” spending in the transfer market.

Holding court at Old Trafford, barely an hour after City had unveiled their most recent big-money purchase, Mario Balotelli, and confirmation of James Milner’s arrival for a medical had been received, Ferguson let fly.

The Manchester United manager was careful not to mention City by name, nor any of their players, including Yaya Toure, who is said to be costing the Eastlands outfit a staggering £220,000 per week in wages.
