Manchester City keeper Shay Given insists City are realistically aiming for a top six finish in the Premiership rather than a serious title challenge. The 33-year-old admits he joined the Eastlands club to win trophies but the Irishman has urged caution for fans expecting too much too soon.
"We are excited with the start we have made but I can't sit here and say we are going to win this and that," he told the News of the World.
"Is the top four a possibility? It is too early to say. The owners have said top six and there's no reason why we can't do that.
"Who knows if we will win something this year? I want to do it sooner rather than later. I've come here to win trophies and the manager (Mark Hughes ) is the same.
"He wants to win trophies as a manager, I want to win them as a player. When he walks in a room you sit up and listen."
