Cant play Barry and Garcia in the same side its suicide but Barry is miles better at the job than Garcia and always one of the first names on the team sheet. As a backup I dont think hes a bad as people say

Spot on!

Hope he can have a good season,when we bought him thought he'd do well, but last season all our midfielders were hit and miss not just Garcia and think he will get more chance to prove himself with the new manager time will tell.

Said it in the Isco thread. The best thing we can do is loan him to Malaga as part of the Isco deal. It's a WC year so he can get the chance to shine (small chance but possible never the less) and off the back of a season we will get the chance to sell him on for better money than we can now as long as Malaga pay a fair chunk towards his wages, if not the best thing we can do is sell now and cut the loss.

Mancini has scouts out on Savic and Garcia yet missed the gems besides them both times in Nastasic and Wistel, laughable really isn't it.

^^^This^^^ The rest deleted for accuracy, Mancini was just a part of the player acquisition board. Mancini wanted Martinez & got Garcia instead, so Garcia to City wasn't his fault.

I've not given up on him yet, even though I can honestly say I have seen nothing to suggest he is anywhere near good enough for what we required.

M.P. may well get more out of him though.

Mancini sent a scout out for Garcia. Gregucci?

Savic had a good season for Fiorentina and Montenegro

It's widely ackowledged that Mancini had to make do with his B-list in the final days of last summer's transfer window. The squad was light on numbers so it was a case of 'this is what's left, take it or leave it'. Not much of a choice for the manager of the newly crowned Premiership Champions & richest club in the world is it?

At what point do you reckon that any of those last day signings would have been Mancini's considered choices? Mancini made it very clear as soon as the season was over who he wanted. He wanted RVP, Martinez, Lavezzi, Hazard, Silva & De Rossi & look who he ended up with.

Anyone else still think he can prove to be an important member of the team?

He may not have had the best opening season but it takes time to adjust to the speed of the PL, especially as he is rather slow, not to mention his season was disrupted by injuries.

I don't like the assumption on this board that you have to have pace to be a good defensive midfielder, look at Javi Martinez at Bayern. All you need is two other mobile midfielders near you, Javi's job should mainly be defending and clearing up if the midfield get caught.

I personally believe that a midfield three of:

-----------Garcia-------------
Yaya---------------Fernandinho

Would be extremely solid and do very well, especially in European away games and harder PL games.

Spain clearly rate him highly, and we should at least give him a second season to prove his worth. Lets hope he does.

This. Even dzeko had a shocker at the start of the season, but now he's not that bad. We should give him a chance next season and if hes still crap by the first half of the season, he can go in the January transfer.
