Man City's record signing, Brazilian Robinho wants the club to be a big player in the January transfer window.

The 24-year old believes the club needs to sign more players to succeed and has handed manager Mark Hughes a wish list, citing defenders as a major requirement.

"We have good players but if the club wants to be big, we have to sign more," he tols Setanta Sports.

"I have suggested Kleber, the Santos left back, Thiago Silva who plays at centre back for Fluminense, who's been playing very well. The coach mentioned Luisao, who is Brazilian and plays for Benfica.

"Who would I sign? If I could choose it would be Kaka and (former Brazil striker) Ronaldo.

"But at this moment the team needs to improve the defence.

"When you build a house you have to start from the floor. You have to start from the bottom, the defence, and then you fix the attack."
