None of know how close City are to signing defenders, but there's an argument to doing what Ancelotti has done and publically calling an end to the transfer business so that City's players and fans can focus on the new season.
It must be doing Dunne's head in all these rumours, and the endless debate about who replaces Dunne puts a lot of pressure on him. If City have some viable options then OK pursue them, but if not, call it a day, and lets all get behind City for what should be a great season
