Trophies the yardstick for Hughes


Mark Hughes is convinced one trophy is all it will take for Manchester City to become one of England's superclubs.

After spending in excess of £120m this summer, City have already proved their ability by winning four matches on the trot and running Manchester United so close at Old Trafford on Sunday has underlined their top four credentials.

But, ahead of Wednesday's Carling Cup encounter with Fulham at Eastlands, the City chief knows either would allow his team to take the final step towards gatecrashing the game's elite.

"If you win trophies and have experience of winning trophies as a group of players and as a club, it helps you," he said.

"It shows you the qualities needed to overcome opposition and win things. We haven't got that yet. But if we can get into positions to win trophies it would allow us to go that final step."
