Think it depends where it is, for temperatures last one was January I think.

He's the one we want to spend big on if CAS goes our way.
Speaking to his people regularly.
Thanks for the reply. He would be a rather excellent addition as he can play in a number of positions but could ultimately replace Sergio. It would be a nice retort to Bayern’s snide tactics with Sané.
Yet another reason it’s pretty vital we win our appeal to CAS.
The priority(Big Money) Signings:
Centre-Back
Attacking Midfielder
Defensive Midfielder
Defensive mid? Is that just Camavinga or are they determined to bring someone in regardless? Guess it spells end of Gundogan
Again, hardly a stretch, is it?
As you say, budgets will fluctuate, accordingly.
A lot will also depend on if Sane move goes through this summer.
I wouldn't get hopes up of a £200m spending spree, put it that way.
It may not take £200 million.

More likely to that we buy Ruben Dias, if that fails then we go for Kalidou Koulibaly
Ruben Dias is exactly the kind of player that I expect we'll sign. Very high risk and yet still probably very expensive. Let's face it... Aside from Laporte, our track record on defensive signings has been pretty awful since Hughes. We need a change of strategy here, but I doubt that is going to happen. We can't afford another Stones/Mangala.

I know right. Remember when we signed Zabaleta for 3m and Kompany for 6m? We need to get back to those days!

Is that even possible anymore? We're Man City. If we wanted a promising RB from Espanyol now, they'd see its us, and ask for £30m.

We dont need a defensive midfielder as a priority... We have Rodri there and Gundogan as a backup with Fernandinho also able to step in we should be okay there for at least 3-4 years.
Attacking midfielder also should not be that high with Foden showing his quality and Bernado able to play there you essentially have Foden, KDB, Bernardo, Gundogan all able to play as attacking midfiedlers
To me its Centre back and then left back depending on Mendy and then Striker as Aguero potentially enters his final year of his deal and hell most likely leave after next year.. Jesus can play anywhere on the front 3 but he aint a prolific goal scorer like Aguero. Id rather us spend money this summer on a CB and then spend big on a big time striker like Haaland the year after.

Phil Foden
Rodrigo
Gundogan
De Bruyne OR Bernardo
Bernardo Silva told ManCity.com: "You have some areas on the pitch where you feel a little bit more comfortable, but me I've played almost all my career on the right side as an offensive midfielder, or number 8. That's where I feel more comfortable."
when is the last time Fernandinho played DM?
Foden will very easily over take Gundogan in the pecking order for attacking midfielder.
Gundogan will quickly become a bench player as a back up DM, like the first half of the 18/19 season. He didn't want to resign because of that.
Midfield is as much of a priority as Centre-Back.
