The City boss, yesterday, steered his side to an unbeaten pre-season and told the News Of The World: "The players I want at this club need to have hunger, ambition and drive.
"There are a lot of mercenaries playing in the Championship - players who get to a certain standard and command a certain wage but have got fat and happy and stopped fighting and scraping for everything.
"We're going to have a nice mix of experience and skill but all will be hungry. I like winning and I want similar people around me."
