DC: Javi Martinez
The clunky Eliaquim Mangala has gradually—gradually—improved this season, but does he have the composure in possession and the vision to thrive in a Guardiola defence?
If any doubts remain, the incoming coach may opt to return to Bayern for Javi Martinez.
The technically-proficient and physically-impressive former Athletic man has missed swathes of time with injury—starting only one Bundesliga match in the last year—but would still be an excellent signing for the Sky Blues.
