8 centre-backs Manchester City have signed to partner Vincent Kompany in recent years

Kompany has bonded with many new faces in central defence

3) Stefan Savic

Stefan Savic was sluggish in central defence

Stefan Savic was noted as one of the most promising young defenders in Europe upon arrival to the Premier League for £6 million but instantly failed to live up to the expectations. His defensive work was often unhandy and soon began losing the faith of the club, who were hungry for imminent success.

The Montenegrin made a total of 20 appearances during his stint Man City, playing his final match in City's Community Shield victory over Chelsea. Deciding to get rid of him, Mancini sold him to Italian side Fiorentina as part of an exchange deal involving Matija Nastasic.
