Javi Garcia

[mike channon´s windmill]

David Coverdale: Benfica's Javi García has just signed for Manchester City according to a Portuguese newspaper. Nothing yet from either club.

Strange title for a solo album :)

He´s in deep purple shit if he´s got this wrong!!

Doubters and computer game fornicators should do one until there is actually something to doubt.
They'd be more comfortable at the Swamp anyway.

You do realise I was taking the piss before out of the FM stats dont you?

Benfica fans are absolutely gutted, just read the comments at the link above for example.

some dont seem too bothered

Just like some on here about over Nig, many love him, others not too bothered.

true mate

European football expert Andy Brassell: "This would be a big one....A Bola claiming that Benfica and Manchester City have agreed a deal for Spanish midfielder Javi Garcia. There's no word on the exact fee but it's "close" to the €30m (£23.8m) buyout clause in his contract. What's clear is Garcia would be a great signing for City; a strong, robust holder who's good on the ball - and a step up from de Jong - who can also play at centre-back. Let's see..."

Do we all rate Garcia on this site?

I have watched a few Benefica games in their champions league campaigns - and Garcia is always a standout. Solid as anything and he can read the play really well. His distance passing was clinical too - not sure if it was just those matches?

She does now.

Hopefully he will be a great find like kompany and zabaleta

 

[johnmc]

He is a defensive midfielder............

Who can play CB

But being signed to replace NDJ

I think Nastasic is in line for the centre half role

If we go with 3 at the back we need someone to carry the ball out and also more cover for that position. Think we know from the interest in De Rossi and Martinex and now the signing of Garcia having someone who could play both was a target

 

[Gaylord du Bois]

Get in!
An attacking midfielder that can head the ball with either foot.
Benfica fans must be gutted.

I wasn't referring to you, SWP. The window isn't all about you, don't you know.
