They arenot options mate. Denayer is nowhere near good enough. He was terrible in Sunderland and this is not his level.
Mangala on the other hand, he was utter shit for us for two seasons and considering the fee one of the biggest flops ever BUT he was decent for Valencia this year and is without a doubt talented lad. If Pep thinks he can turn Mangala's career around then I'm for it.
In general, Kompany should be counted to play 20 games ABSOLUTE MAX. It's not just about healing from the old wounds, I think his knees (and thighs) are in situation where they simply can't handle 50 odd games a year even if there are no new injuries.
