Garcia

[vintiz]

If Pellegrini had not picked Garcia in the holding role towards the end of the season, we would not have won the league.

How have you come to that conclusion?

Cheers and good luck Javi.

The attitude you showed throughout was first class.

I would echo this but I have not seen any reports of a confirmed sale.

The OS reports differently under the banner "Todays Papers".

because we won the games.

It's quite probable we would have won them anyway with Fernandinho in there.

We've replaced him with someone better and the fact is he wasn't up to standards required. We essentially paid a hell of a lot of money for a Spanish version of Gareth Barry (only not as good). Credit to him for fighting his way into the side and for filling in at centre back when required. He did make a positive impact in the end and shielded the defence and he played his part in our success last season. Looks like that ill-fated summer transfer window of 2012 is finally being eradicated. Fernando will make a much bigger impact in our side.

Good luck to Javi if this happens. Had a feeling it might when I saw his end of season interview: he wanted to stay but was drily chucking about whether he was needed. Had a very good second half to last season and filled in well in he he holding role. And if we get 12m, yet another big well done to Txiki and the staff. The days of dead wood hanging around because no one will have them seem well behind us.

Let's see if we can get shut of Sinclair, Richards and guidetti now,

Ive read some daft stuff on this forum but that has to be up there with the best of them.

Just another way of saying he played a vital role which he did.

And I disagree with the comments above saying he was a poor equivalent to Barry. Barry was past his best when we signed Garcia. Still effective, but at times he was getting exposed

 

[buhz]

superb attitude. i wish him all the luck.

 

[chris85mcfc]

Not that his move to Zenit was in any doubt but ive just noticed his Mrs has put a picture on Instagram of Javi's boots with the hashtag 'new adventure'

So my guess is that this will be confirmed either today or tomorrow

I can't believe how much money we have been able to recoupe from Javi and Rodwell, I don't think we will bring in anyone else but the money is certainly there to do so if we wish

I'd agree with what the lad said, Fernandinho wasn't 100% fit, Rodwell was injured, no Garcia and the chances are Demichelis would have had to play the holding role.

Yea id have said he was right as well. Although it was hardly a master stroke as we didn't have any other options.

adios amigo

Looks like we will be last to announce again.

Good luck to him. I won't miss him but I was to harsh on him and Id rather Sinclair and Boyata went before him now!

At it already - fair play lad

I like her.

Good to see that he maintained his superb smile even after leaving the best club for Russia, which will always be a tough destination for Spaniards. Positive lad. :)
