We have had Fausto Salsano already watch him at Benfica a couple of days ago and we have already had a bid rejected.

Only rumours and paper stories said that. Benfica have not released an official statement saying they have rejected a bid so he could have been there watching anyone. Dont know if Witsel played in that game but if he did then we could have been looking at him or even Gaitan. I really hope we dont get Garcia, people slag De Jong off for being one dimensional but Garcia is just the same and would be a massive waste of money when we can keep Nige.
Imo it would be a very very poor transfer window if all we signing where Rodwell, Garcia and Sinclair. We didnt need to improve massively but these signings will not improve us at all and with United and Chelsea signing the players they have they are the favs for the league now not us.
Maicon and Nastasic?

Whow!

Witsel is a Box to Box midifelder?

He's like Yaya. He started like a defensive midfield on Standard (Marcin Wasilewski had his leg broken by Witsel. You can see the video on youtube).

On Benfica, when Rodrigo injured, he shows skills to play behind the striker on their 4-1-3-2, and he did good matches.

On the Pre-Season he played there again. But, Rodrigo arrives from the Olympics and the coach decide to use the 4-2-3-1 with Garcia and Witsel as DM/CM

The one that was present was defensive coach Gregucci, the press actually took a picture of him so he was actually there and the interest may be real. Gaitán didn't play and was public since friday, so my guess is that may be between Javi (DMF), Witsel (CMF) and even Garay (CD).

Mancini will always want a tough defensive minded midfielder I think, that's probably why we're after Garcia instead of Witsel. I'm just worried we'll have the same problem we so often have against stubborn sides, the laborious feel without a real creative midfielder to pull the strings. I've only seen Garcia 2 or 3 times but he struck me a NDJ style midfielder who will break up play keep it simple... but we have Barry and Rodwell who are like that. I keep waiting for someone with more knowledge of Garcia to come in and tell us he has a great passing range. :)

De Rossi would be been annoyingly perfect, the De Rossi saga has been one big horrible tease.
Any recent links to witsel? I agree garcia is too defensive.Witsel can put a tackle in and break up play. When Yaya goes to Acon he is the ideal replacement hope Mancini an co see this!!!!

The problem is, would a guy who can be a replacement for Yaya be prepared to come to City only as Yaya's ACON replacement? I think they will have to be convinced there is significantly more playing time than that and anyway they are a part of the future of this team.
For this reason alone, the development of young players or finding the 'hidden gems' like Nir Biton, will be really important for City going forward.

Sky Italia say this is still on.

I'm sorry but this guy is no better than De Jong in my opinion. He is ridiculously over-priced.


replacement for De Jong?

he may be pushing for a move to get more playing time and we are letting him move on
