Closed for business: Mancini calls halt to City’s spending

MANCHESTER CITY manager Roberto Mancini claims his club have finished their incredible spending spree after the arrival of England midfielder James Milner from Aston Villa was finally confirmed yesterday.

Milner joins a new illustrious cast, following the path taken to Eastlands in recent weeks by David Silva, Mario Balotelli, Jerome Boateng, Yaya Toure and Aleksander Kolarov.

Asked if Milner was his final signing, Mancini said: “I think so. He is a good young player, who can play in every position in the middle and out wide.”
