Garcia

[kaz7]

Hope all the negatvity doesnt get transmitted to him on match days as it will not help him one bit

 

[Dribble]

Fuck me how is this debate still going. He has been called up for Spain. Torres still gets called up for Spain and hes been very average for the best part of 3 years. it doesn't take away the fact Garcia has never had a good game in the English premier league and is surely the slowest central midfielder in the league.

His game has never and will never suit the premier league. You don't have to be Usain Bolt to play his position but you have to be able to move & turn quicker than a double decker bus, Garcia cannot.

Nail on the head. He is poo not just bad, absolute poo!

Absolutely this! You beat me to it...........

I think "poo" is a tad too polite.

I'd certainly like to think that Milner would be ahead of him in the central midfield pecking order.

To be fair, Spain haven't had that many strikers tearing up trees. Negredo and Soldado aside who have been in the squad at times as well.

Spain have a insane amount of class midfielders. Garcia is still there.

Slowest central midfielder in the league?, stats say that his highest speed was better than Toure's. So second slowest at best ;)

Ok so Javi Garcia is faster than Yaya Toure then yea? People get too caught up with nonsensical statistics like the above rather than what their own eyes show them.

People also get too caught up with Bluemoon's ludicrous witch hunts...

Seriously what has Garcia actually done that badly? Where are all these catastrophic errors to justify this constant outcry? (I understand he's not very fast or agile, I'm ok with that)

 

[Sam W]

Have to say that Garcia may well come good this season.

Needs someone with pace beside him but could excel in a midfield 3.

He's strong in the air and also has good close control.

Think many people will asking for him to be in the team for difficult away games, especially in Europe.

 

[Ardwick Green Blue]

The one good thing you can say about Garcia is that he appears to try his best.

He is otherwise a complete waste of space.

 

[Cobwebcat]

At least we have been able to debate the issue without all the silly....you have to like every city player or you are disloyal nonsense.

I really want to believe he will come good and I will be proved wrong, not least because it will save us a few quid.

He's probably the most disliked player in the squad at the moment and I do feel sorry for him even though right now I would be happy if he moved on.

He's here till at least January now and although I have my opinion on here he has my full support at the match.

 

[BringBackSwales]

Fucking hell, why do people have to keep constantly coming on here and saying such and such a player (in particular Garcia) is fucking shite - it has been said so many fucking times, how about shutting the fuck up and accepting he is A MANCHESTER CITY PLAYER and getting off his back. It is as disgusting as it is ridiculous, some of the abuse of CITY PLAYERS is vile

 

[fredmont]

Doesn't matter what we think of him now, he is part of our squad and we should wish him well in what is going to be a difficult season. Pelli knows more about his abilities than we do and had no qualms about putting him in the team. He's never had a proper run in his best position so it can't be easy for him.
I've also decided to get behind my least favourite player, Kolorov. He's managed to survive again and remains part of the squad,. If it's going to be a successful season
we willnneed strong performances from everyone so we should get behind them all.

You better recalibrate that speedometer then

Surely that makes him worse, if his highest speed is better than Toure's then he can't be trying hard enough, and that was the only thing I gave him any credit for, he tries!!!

Errrrm aren't we discussing this on a forum that it is all about opinions? The majority on here acknowledge Garcia is shite and slow, but have you ever once heard anybody boo him during a game? I haven't and I've barely missed a game in the last 12 months. Just because we say he's shit doesn't mean we won't support him when he's selected. So this "vile abuse" you speak of is a nonsense.

Agreed. I enjoyed the debate. I've been partialy converted but still ultimateley don't think he is suitable to us still.

World of difference to shouting at him personally.

Seriously can someone please just tell me what he's actually done wrong?

I've asked that question about 5 times, you'd think if he was so incredibly shit there might be a couple of times people could pick out.

He plays majority of his games in central midfield , just because you can't think of any direct errors that have led to goals don't change the fact he is abysmal. Cardiff could have easily scored 3 more from open play due to his lack of pace albeit in a position that is not his 'speciality'. We almost play with 10 men when he's on the field because in every single game he's played people have walked past him like he isn't there and he spends the entire game chasing shadows when we don't have the ball. His passing (even short passes) is woeful, always bobbling and behind the man. He doesn't bring any qualities to the side other than being a threat from set pieces.

His passing is accurate and safe statistically, he never gets beaten in the air and he fills in the gaps the full backs leave, as I see it.

Statistically he doesn't actually get beaten that often, I think that pitfall is just exaggerated by his lack of agility in recovery. It's not like Yaya, Fernandinho or Barry are an impenetrable wall either.

Agree with your last sentence, they are not impenetrable & our central midfield with or without Garcia will still get overrun badly when we don't have the ball against good opposition IMO. Don't agree with the rest but will agree to disagree.

Congrats mate, your the biggest blue on here. Uberfan you are. Garcia's slow. He doesn't read the game well. He doesn't play the ball more than 5 yards. He's bat turd. I don't slag him off when I'm at the game, but it won't stop me expressing my views on here. Fair play to the lad he makes at least 80 grand and I don't make £400 a week but it doesn't hide he's shite, we bought him for 16 million and got rid of Nigel De Jong or never went for Pogba. Depressing.
