City potential excites Hughes
Manchester City boss admits the air of expectation sweeping around the club has him 'excited'.
The Blues have been busy in the transfer market this summer, looking to put the Abu Dhabi United Group's considerable riches to good use.
Gareth Barry, Roque Santa Cruz and Carlos Tevez have already been snapped up, while Emmanuel Adebayor and John Terry could yet join that trio at Eastlands.
The massive outlay is expected to see City mount a serious challenge for a top four finish in the Premier League next season, and Hughes has revealed that even he has been caught up in the anticipation of what could lie ahead.
"I do get excited," he said.
"There is a real feeling of anticipation for the coming season. There are a lot of things happening, players coming in and changes in and around the club. The first game everyone will see those changes first hand.
"Everybody connected with Manchester City would have to agree that this will be a very special season."
Hughes has publicly announced that he still intends to add further reinforcements to his squad during the transfer window, keen to piece together a side capable of competing in the upper echelons of the English top flight.
Keeping his ever-growing playing staff happy could prove to be a problem as the season progresses, but Hughes insists that issue will pose a welcome headache if the club prove to be successful.
"What I have to do is mould a team that is able to win games successfully and consistently," he added.
