Chelsea KO was justice for 'diving' says DunneRaul snubs big-money move to City, insisting he wants to end career at RealHughes, who addressed a 400-strong fans forum in midweek, admits it could be years before they even get close to Manchester United when it comes to transfer market muscle. [LNB]"We are looking to bring in players as there are significant areas we want to strengthen," he said ahead of the derby at Old Trafford tomorrow. [LNB] "We will not go for second best. If we have to wait a bit longer, then so be it. [LNB] "We want to make sure when we go into the market we get the right quality and the right type of player. [LNB] "United have been able to build over 15-20 years with the help of Champions League money. They have world class players in back up positions. We are nowhere near that. It does take time. [LNB] "We are very much at the beginning of where we want to go. United are at a place where they are very happy to be for quite some time."

[LNB]"We have started to produce the standard of football that the manager was expecting at the start of the season," he told www.mcfc.co.uk [LNB] "We went from being a normal club to one with high expectations. [LNB]"It all takes a bit of getting used to I suppose, and it was unsettling for a lot of people, but now everyone has grown into it. [LNB]"It is a club with the potential to grow and win trophies. Signings will happen and then you have to rise to the challenge. Hopefully it's going to be a golden era for the club and being part of it would be great."[LNB] [LNB]
