Manu Garcia

A huge class above Suarez imo. Miles better footballer, miles more football intelligence & much harder working.

Have you seen how Suarez is getting on at Sevilla? I know he scored the winner in the Europa League final group game to put them through but not really watched much of La Liga. I don't think it's as bad a loss, him going to Barca as we first may have felt. There's a lot of talent in our academy and we're blessed with a lot of attacking players. Garcia looks like he could potentially fulfil a Fabregas style box to box role alongside someone more defence minded like Bryan etc.

I don't think he will be a box to box player at all. He will be more likely have a role similar to Silva. More than likely play just behind the forwards i think would be is best position.

Couldn't ever see Suarez playing over here tbh. He seems pretty easy to shove off the ball (in the way Pozo sadly was in the first team) and is much more at ease in Spain where it's less physical. Some players despite being small seem to not be bothered by this - silva for example and Garcia seems like that too thankfully. I think it's mainly an attitude thing, or perhaps how they use their lower centre of gravity. Either way I agree that Garcia has more potential to succeed than Suarez does over here.

I've seen Suarez once or twice & imo the reports of how good he is supposed to be, are wildly exaggerated. He is nowhere near good enough to be playing for City.

But I'm comparing Garcia now to how Suarez was when he was at City. Imo Garcia is already streets ahead of where Suarez was when he left City & he is two years younger than Suarez was at that time.

Suarez had talent but not so much of it as Garcia, & often failed to use it or show the right aptitude.

I don't think Suarez compares to any of our current attacking mids. The fact he holds down a place in a decent team at 21, augurs well for these lads in the future.

Garcia is one of the best youth players I've ever seen, based on technical ability alone. His ball control and passing is unbelievable for a 17 year old.

I had a little look and both Xavi and Iniesta made their first team debut at 18. Garcia isn't 18 until January next year.

I think there's a good chance of Garcia also making his first team debut at 18 - probably in the 2016/17 season.

 

[aguero93:20]

He remind me of Denis Suarez.

Why can't we have this strip back?

 

[Bob Hope]

Played for the U21s today against Southampton,just a joy to watch. Going to be one hell of a player.
Could be the player that replaces Silva.

Manu Garcia, the dream of a child from Oviedo to debut at Manchester City

Oviedo, June 21 (EFE) .- The first balonazos Garcia Manuel "Manu" hit against buildings Argañosa Oviedo neighborhood where he was born 17 years ago, emulating their idols beating the English Premier League to ease printed, a dream come true with his debut in the first team of Manchester City in a friendly match played in Toronto (Canada).

Manu never forget the tour of seven days by the United States and Canada who performed with the first team last May, when it first footballer he was at to see football from the inside, recalls the player in an interview with the Efe agency.

"For them it was another trip but for me to share air, bus, costumes and play with them, although they were only nine minutes, was a past", he stressed.

It tactics replacing David Silva, who praises as a person and admire even more after training with him, especially for its ease of resolving any situation with a single touch.

Manu, as every player with projection, has always played in higher age categories and turned his life when he debuted in the National League team Sporting Gijon, with 15 years.

In this showcase, his talent was spotted by scouts from almost every team in the Spanish League and the Premier, including Real Madrid, Barcelona and Liverpool, who knocked on his door to incorporate into its ranks.

His parents toured the facilities of the main equipment to check what was the most suitable offer and won their hearts the City sporting director Txiki Begiristain, who spoke of a football project and an educational offer that could not miss.

But not everything was so easy for Manu, who at 15, a little high and 1.70 unmolded body came to Manchester, where he was received with skepticism by some coaches used to the English game, more physical, fast and shock.

"It was hard to get used to the city and to the game, especially in the first three months. In the first game he watched the ball passed over my head without being able to touch it," he told Manu.

In addition, the British sports law did not allow him to play in a competitive match until 16 years, so their first months of stay remembers as "very hard".

He went on to play in the sub-18 City, although technical soon put in place, organizer or behind the tip means, and in the playoffs betting on the muscle rather than the quality of the Asturian player.

Its future change last Christmas, and as if it were a Christmas present a decisive figure crossed his career, Patrick Vieira, who, after watching him play, opted for quality ahead of his appearance and took the sub- 21, the reserve team.

His main dream debut in a match of the Premier League, is now closer and hopes to be one of the eight U-21 players that make the tour of preseason with the first team.

Another of his wishes is to play assiduously in the selection, although he believes that if he wins his team will be easier and also has the desire to debut a day in his field, El Molinon.

"What was clear, and went to England and I stayed at Sporting," he stressed the promising young Spaniard football after every game do not forget to send your father a message to say he is well, not He has been injured. EFE
