Manchester City have been linked with a move for Bayern Munich defender Holger Badstuber. Manager Pep Guardiola know the Germany international well from his time in Munich, but would he be a good fit for City after recovering from serious injury recently? We asked our City and Bayern correspondents for their thoughts.
MANCHESTER CITY -- Jonathan Smith
Badstuber would be a big gamble as the man to try to solve Pep Guardiola's defensive problems -- but it could be a risk worth taking for Manchester City.
The defender is set to go out on loan in January and with City already blowing big transfer fees on defenders Eliaquim Mangala, Nicolas Otamendi and John Stones in recent transfer windows, it would represent a cheap gamble.
