We already had a pure holding midfielder in De Jong and we got rid of him because that's all he could do well. In a top class midfield, even the midfielder covering the defence needs to have world class passing, and that's what we've got in Toure and Fernandinho. Just because they can both be effective in advanced positions doesn't mean they can't also play a more disciplined role if it would benefit the team more.

We got rid of De Jong because we were making space for De Rossi who didn't come. Since De Rossi didn't come we panicked and bought Garcia, who is a step down from De Jong. We still need a holding midfielder.

That's not true. We sold De Jong because he refused to sign the contract on offer as he could pick up a large signing on fee and the same wages by moving.

Fact.

Mancini didn't want to cede to his demands because he thought he was getting De Rossi and could let De Jong go. De Jong wanted a new contract, Mancini just thought it would be expensive to sign him on an improved contract and still try to get De Rossi.
