Another daft post but there are tactical reasons why Navas' has a role in the team.
 
What is Roberts like defensively when our opponents are built for counter attacks and one of their full backs or wingers are one of their key attacking players? Again nothing to do with creativity and even the best winger in the world will have difficulty with the strikers we currently have. One of Navas' strengths is protecting our ageing full backs.

He's not scored for 2 years. TWO YEARS, in this Manchester City side. It ought to be impossible but he's managed it and if I were to make a bet I would back him to make it 3 years. If he is a right winger in a front 3 he has to get 15 goals a season, this fucker will need to live until he is 137 to reach 15 goals. Useless.

We have other players who are meant to chip in besides Navas and don't forget he scored a vital goal in the away leg against Everton last season. Navas isn't a bad player defensively (that is why both managers continue to pick him when it is needed).

We shouldn't need him defensively in the same way Barca don't need Messi defensively or Chelsea don't need Hazard defensively. He's a right sided forward in a front three, if he can't get 15 goals in a season he should be used sparingly, if he can't get 1 goal in 2 seasons he should never kick a ball for us.
 
At this present time we do need someone like Navas in terms of balance. Sane, De Bruyne,Sterling, Nolito Silva are all better attacking players but do not offer much else in protecting our ageing full backs (our Achilles Heel and that is the case for some time.)
