Hughes hopeful of building on Bridge signing


Following
on from yesterday’s FA Cup defeat by Nottingham Forest, Mark Hughes is
hopeful he can add to the capture of Wayne Bridge and build a stronger
City squad capable of challenging on all fronts.

The signing of
Bridge from Chelsea yesterday saw Hughes stay true to his word of
acting swiftly in the transfer market and he now wants to bring in
other quality players to boost his side.

Speaking after the 3-0
home slump, the Blues boss revealed: “I think we’re in a position where
we can go to the market and bring players here.

“There are
opportunities for players to come here and make an impression. We’ve
got to make sure we get the right players in, if we do then we can move
forward, but at the moment we’re a little bit light.”

Despite the
raft of players linked with a move to City, Hughes knows he might have
to deal with current players leaving the Club, but he underlined his
belief during this transfer window: “We’re looking to make to the squad
better.

“Sometimes when players come in then other players will feel their future lies elsewhere, we’ll have to look at that.

“First
and foremost though we need to get good players in to make us better,
when we do that then we can make sure we have consistent performances
and consistent results.

“At the moment we’re finding it very
difficult to do that. We can have the high of a 5-1 victory against
Hull and then a low that we’ve experienced against Forest.

“That
can’t be sustained, we need to be consistent, and at the minute we’re
finding it difficult to be. We’ve got to do something to address that
and we will do.

“The frailties of the team are there for
everybody to see for themselves. It’s not as if I’m telling them [the
owners] anything different from what I was telling them from the onset
of their tenure.

“Those things are still to be addressed and we
need to make sure we’re stronger in all departments. If we do that we
can move forward but at the moment it’s one step forward and two back.”
