It's nothing personal, we just want to sign the best, says City boss Hughes

I'm no a wind-up: Manchester City's Mark HughesMark Hughes insists he is not deliberately trying to wind up managers at the top end of the Barclays Premier League after poaching some of their best players this summer.The Manchester City boss snared Gareth Barry from Aston Villa at the start of the transfer window and then recruited Emmanuel Adebayor and Kolo Toure from Arsenal. Hughes has also angered David Moyes with his pursuit of Joleon Lescott which the Everton boss described as 'disgusting'.The transfer of the England defender appears to be inching closer following Moyes' dramatic decision to leave Lescott out of his side's 4-0 win over Sigma Olomouc in the Europa League at Goodison Park on Thursday night.Lescott's attitude has been called into question by Moyes since Everton turned down his transfer request but Hughes says there is nothing personal in the way he targets players.'It is just a consequence of the quality of the players we needed,' he said.'That quality plays at a certain level, in and around where we want to be. It is what happens when you want to get better.' Manchester City topple the mighty Barcelona - now can they do it for real?
