Hughes talks Ronaldinho

Mark Hughes admitted he was disappointed that Brazilian superstar Ronaldinho decided to join AC Milan instead of Man City; but believes the interest in the player proves that City have plenty of ambition.

"We have presented our case as well as we possibly could and the fact that we are in there trying to get one of the top players in the world shows our ambition and where we want to go,” Hughes told the Manchester Evening News.

"I don't know the finer details of the negotiations but the way the Ronaldinho deal was constructed was a little bit different by all accounts to an ordinary deal so my budget would not have been affected as much as people think.”
