Hughes trusts youth policy

Man City coach Mark Hughes has revealed he will still keep the faith in the club's youth policy; despite the club spending a fortune on signing new players.

Mark Hughes said: "The academy has been extremely successful in recent years. With extra funds it can produce even better players.

"It's important for any successful team to have a group of players who have an empathy for the club.

"We have that with the guys who have come through the academy.

"But we are not just going to fill the squad as a token gesture to the work the academy does.

"The quality of players has to be sufficient to play in the Premier League. That is what their work is judged on."
