Manchester City boss Mark Hughes admits they're looking to strengthen right across the squad.

After landing Wayne Bridge from Chelsea, Hughes said: "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."
