Manchester City boss Sven-Goran Eriksson is aiming high and could bring in a "big-name" signing this summer.
Eriksson, who spending is fuelled by the millions of owner Thaksin Shinawatra, is determined not only to bring European football to Eastlands in the future, but the Champions League.
The Swede has transformed City from relegation candidates to European contenders this season having spent close to £50million on new players since his arrival last summer.
And he is showing no sign of resting on his laurels as he ponders the next step, which could involve bringing in an experienced, big-name player to excite the fans.
"That is one of the things we are discussing," said Eriksson.
"If we take, not old old, but an older player, it must be a big name, a very big name, who can fill the stadium."
Eriksson looks likely to be handed another sizeable transfer kitty in the summer following positive talks with Thaksin during the week.
The former Thai Prime Minister has big ambitions and Eriksson is relishing the task he has been charged with.
Eriksson said: "He would like to see this club playing in the Champions League in a couple of years - perfect ambitions. That's my ambitions as well.
"What he has done so far is absolutely perfect. Everything he promised he has lived up to.
"There will be money available this summer. I didn't ask about how much but there will be money and that's good."
As well as bringing in senior players, Eriksson has also tried to keep an eye on the future by signing young talent such as Ecuador striker Felipe Caicedo.
With the club having also reached the final of the FA Youth Cup this season, Eriksson has a wealth of resources at his disposal.
He added: "He [Thaksin] said that he would like the team better at once but his target is big in the future.
"Of course that will take time and these young players, foreigners or English, will get better and better."
There have been suggestions City lack physical strength, particularly when they come up against sides such as tomorrow's opponents Bolton, who are known for their aggressive approach.
Eriksson, however, has no concerns on this front.
The former England boss said: "Maybe we have more technical footballers than players to go to war with, but football shouldn't be a war. We will try to play our game.
"We will see what is happening but physically we are okay. We have some strong players and we are not afraid. I would say we are well used to it."
