Vincent Kompany is excited about Manchester City's future after yesterday's FA Cup parade.
Having been crowned fans' player of the year at a function last night, the Belgian is already looking forward to further glories.
"We had a good season but the reality is we didn't finish champions, so there is obviously a gap (nine points) between first place and second and third," said Kompany.
"We will do everything we can to bridge that gap. If the club decides to buy it will make sense but hopefully this team will be stronger, regardless of that."
Kompany certainly does not feel any sense of inferiority when he assesses City's strengths against those of their rivals.
"There has been very little in our games with United, Chelsea, Liverpool, Arsenal and Tottenham," he said.
"We will do better next season than this and the gap is going to get smaller."
