Javi Garcia (continued)

Garcia not good enough.

MDM not good enough.

Let's be serious and get rid in the summer or we simply will not compete at the level we want to be at.

And whilst we are on the subject Milner, Dzeko, Rodwell and Lescott also not good enough.

Just when you think were getting somewhere in this thread and praise is deservedly being dished out.. This

I like Javi, no ones proclaiming him as a world beater, but he's hardly put a foot wrong since before Christmas. I'd keep him for the role he's played in the team. He is ideal and we're winning a lot of games with him in the team still, so he can't be complete garbage like they would have you believe.
Done his job as the rotation DM spot on, as you say, since around Christmas.

Never underestimate how important these kind of squad players are.

Plus is it realistic that we're going to sign Arturo Vidal and have three of the five best DMs/deep lying CMs in the world playing in rotation at City? As much as I'd love that to happen, it's just not going to. So having Javi, who has now settled, is more confident, knows his role, is playing well, doesn't speak out about not getting games, seems to get on well with everyone in the squad etc. is very important.

Kiam is a known WUM and rag.

He clearly can't face the fact that The Chosen One has been given the boot so has made an appearance on here.

Spot on. Couldn't agree more
 
He's gone from being slated to not doing that badly to the point that he's now overrated by a lot on here. He is still not good enough to play for us or be a squad player for us if we are serious about becoming as good as the elite (Bayern, Real, Barca).
 
I remember his first few games. I had been a big fan of his before he arrived. Believed he would come good but watched as he gave away pass after pass and pointless free kick after free kick. His finding form has been a slow process. His passing has gone from always sideways and safe to more direct and telling. His passes find their man with pace and putting the team on the front foot. He and Yaya cannot play together as a DM two. He is left too exposed. Fernandinho on the other hand is an ideal partner. Would now like to see him stay as DM back up. Not a game changer but can be a game saver.

Javi has settled now and i hope we don't sell him in the summer,let jack go out on loan

I fully agree there!

Although I do feel we should look at James Ward Prowse in the summer, he looks class, would also give us that strength in depth which we do not posses right now, no matter what others say.

OK who do you propose we sign to fill in as back up?

Vidal? Pogba? Busquets? Kedhira?
 
Much improved since the turn of the year and I don't feel nervous when he's on the pitch now, whereas I used to shit my pants every time he was brought on to close a game out.

another player who just needed time and minutes on the pitch. he's done well.
 
Still makes me laugh and shit my kecks when he tries to do a little too much on the ball, he really is so slow, funny when he nearly fell over himself and the ball on Monday night.

He's improved and done well this season, and has been said, I no longer groan when he comes on or starts games.

Limited player that I'd like to see upgraded though.

... I'd wait 20 or so years for that.

As it is we need superstars and squad players.

Superstars who are desperate just to sit on the bench just because of the badge on their kit are a fair bit away. So are prodigious youth talents who are a fabric of the club. It's players like Garcia and Milner who help fill gaps and offer dependable squad stability so Aguero, Silva, Yaya level players can thrive.

Try benching any of those 3 for a while and see what happens.

Totally agree. The way he came on (for Rodriguez) stepped straight into the game, passed it well and used his strength to knock yaya off the ball - no mean feat - suggests he could deal with playing for us in terms of temparement and quality.
