John Stones

Although not a City player just yet, the links between the Merseyside club and City have been very strong recently, suggesting that a deal can be struck anytime soon. And if the papers are anything to go by, he will be a City player before the start of the new season. In my opinion, John Stones is the typical Guardiola centre half. He reads the game well, is good in the tackle and his ball playing capabilities are up there with the best in the Premier League for a centre back. Also, his experience in the Premier League at such a young age, he would be the perfect fit for the home game against Sunderland.
