Manchester City captain Kolo Toure has rejected the idea that his club need a major overhaul of players this summer, after missing out on the coveted fourth place.
City were linked with a bid for Fernando Torres last month but, given the clubs' lack of Champions League football next season, they may find it difficult to land the calibre of players they crave.
But Toure believes their squad is strong enough as it is. He said: "We have a good squad," he insisted. "It doesn't matter if we bring players in or not. It's true we made a few mistakes this season. We lost a lot of points, at home especially."
Manchester City drew seven consecutive games in October and November last year, meaning they took only seven points from a possible 21 and Toure said: "We had too many draws and it cost us because we could have been fighting for the Premier League."
"We must not make mistakes like drawing against teams we expect to beat because that can make a big difference. We just need to make a little adjustment and keep our focus the whole season."
Manchester City are expected to offer Brazilian full-back Sylvinho a one-year extension on his current contract. The 36-year-old made 15 appearances for City last season, mainly as cover for Wayne Bridge.
Manager Roberto Mancini said: "Sylvinho is a fantastic man and player who always works very well. He is important for us."
