The former Wales centre-forward insists in an in-depth interview with City Mag - the June issue is on sale now - that he will strike while the iron is hot once the summer window opens for business.
City’s boss says: “I trust my eye and when I see a player and recognise the qualities he can bring to the team, I move very quickly.
“Sometimes I think you can over-analyse a player because when you watch somebody over a long period of time, you end up just looking at their negatives - and every player will have negatives in their game.
“I believe that if you can recognise quickly a player’s quality and, most importantly, whether or not they will improve the squad, then it’s a simple decision from my point of view. Once I’ve seen someone I like, I act very quickly.”
Mark also shares his views on the highs and lows of the camapign, Sheikh Mansour, and an edgy golf rivalry in a must-read edition that also features Player of the Year Stevie Ireland in full flow.
Add a brilliant month-by-month review of the season, and the answer to those burning questions that keep you awake at night - which Blues defender scored five on his City debut for the Under-11s? Who gets the Hughes vote for goal of the year? - and you just know the City mag is £2.50 well spent.
