Garcia

[leighton]

A slow start but he was the Go To Man when the chips where down and we needed to grind out a result or hold onto to a lead. Garcia was either the first player to be called on. He done the simple things well and he will be sadly missed. Every team needs players like Garcia that you know he is going to give his all and do a job.

I think now with Fernado and Fernadhino its more than enough cover in his role and add in Milner and Lampard and sadly Garcia time is up. I wish him the best with his new club.

I shall always remember the way he and MDM literally held the line at Hull when we were down to 10 men and Silva had ripped them to bits at the other end. Great pro and always did his best to carry out the manager's orders.

That game was immense. One of my favourites games from last season, and the one that made Demichelis into a City player

It was for sure. MDM's marshaling of that back four was superb. Long and Jelavic were either off side every time a ball was played behind our defence or it was meat and drink for Joe. Superb 10/11 team performance and a crucial, vital 3 points.

Underrated player, great character, never whinges, plays his part, plays where he is told a bit of a defensive Spanish jimmy Milner - I hope he stays would be a pity to see him go

It's amazing that Garcia has went from an overweight, useless, slow, bankrupt Gareth Barry to me being sad he's leaving.

That hull game was all about 1 player and 1 player only - David FUCKING Silva

Garcia did a job. No more no less. Good guy and thanks for stepping in when necessary but he's got to go

So Villas-Boas is recreating Benfica's successful Witsel-Garcia tandem from the 11-12 season.

We are not in good form going into the Hull game. Had a few players injured I think and we were really tired from the Barca game. Kompany got sent off and when that happened I literally had the feeling that this is where we lose the BPL. Immense game from Garcia and Demi to restrict them to almost none chances.

As Kompany went off, I thought our chances had gone with him. Silva's goal appeared to be out of sheer anger - he rarely shoots, let alone with that power and the win at Hull was the one where I believed we'd win it (until we drew with Sunderland, at which point I thought we'd blown it).

A number of players were immense that day, not least Garcia. The memories of Garcia will be that game and the one crunching tackle he put in at home. That it's only one tackle probably explains why we'll let him go

I remember one game towards the end of the BPL season where he was spraying balls around like Fernandinho just for fun and he signed like a new player then. Don't remember the game however. The last game was the biggest show of confidence from Pellegrini, Garcia started ahead of a fit Fernandinho in that game.

Pretty sure I've never seen javi garcia have an immense game for City. They had no chances cos David Silva is a genius and he forever found space providing a constant outlet, retaining the ball with multiple players chasing him, completely taking the pressure off the rest of the team
