Man City Transfers: 5 Players Who Should Exit This Summer

2. Javi Garcia

Media Image LtdMedia Image LtdIn 2012, a signing from way out of left field arrived in the form of Spanish midfielder, Javi Garcia. After failing to force his way into Real Madrid's set-up, Garcia had landed in Portugal where he became a key player for Benfica, catching City's eye. Like Rodwell, Garcia was arguably brought in for squad rotation, however he enjoyed a lot more playing time at the Etihad than the former Everton man, making 71 appearances in two seasons. But despite being favoured by both Mancini and Pellegrini, Garcia has made no connection with City fans: would they even recognise his absence on the field if he were to vanish?He's just not that type of player, and that might stand in his way of becoming a veteran at City. A club of Manchester City's stature should be making full use of every available space in a squad that is brimming with talent, however the jury is still yet to make a verdict on Javi Garcia: the Spaniard has not developed into a star thus far, but he is by no means a failure. His loss would hardly make a dent on City's hopes of challenging to retain the Premier League this season, and it seems with the signing of Fernando that he is already surplus to requirements.
