... the likes of the scottish red faced alky bastard and arsene wenger keep talking about you -

Sir Alex Ferguson has reiterated that he has few misgivings about Manchester City's immense new wealth, pointing out there are "no guarantees" Mark Hughes will be able to bring the team success now he is "under a bit of additional pressure".

Ferguson has dismissed City as "all talk" and made a comparison with Sunderland's Bank of England side, pointing out that they ended up being relegated in the 1950s. The Manchester United manager was unimpressed when he heard City's executive chairman Garry Cook talk about "being bigger" than their neighbours, and there was amusement at Old Trafford after Brighton humbled City in the Carling Cup on Wednesday.

Ferguson said: "It's all very well having all the money but you can't buy everyone. It was proved in the summer. We didn't want to sell Ronaldo, other clubs don't want to sell their best players and there are only so many players you can buy. You can buy 11 individuals, you can buy 11 Robinhos, but it wouldn't be a team, would it?"

Robinho was allowed to miss Wednesday's game so he could fly to Brazil, in the words of the manager, to "organise a few things". He is expected back today or tomorrow but two long-haul flights are hardly ideal preparation for City's Sunday game against Wigan Athletic .

Ferguson is unlikely to have allowed one of his South American players to make such a trip, and he had further words of advice for Hughes. "Mark will be faced with the situation of having all this money and wondering what to do with it, and that can put you under additional pressure. The art of management is building a team with balance, with certain characteristics that blend with each other; that's the most important thing."

Purple face is rattled by our new found wealth just as he was rightly upset by the appointment of Sven.

Some call this stuff "mind games". I call it "talking out of your hole".

For someone who isn't worried about us he seems to be spending an awful lot of his time talking about us
