Very interesting indeed. for those who dont know, Javi Garcia is a former Cantera. he is pure dm like lass except possibly better physically...

ambrosini and gattuso are retiring next season,we need him

He's decent, always was. A victim of the 08/09 season. He can still be a squad player here and I'd rather have him over Lass/Altintop etc.

Meh......honestly you wouldn't have felt that way if he stayed.

We have a habit of making decent players look like utter garbage eg Albiol.

I would take him now over Altintop or Lass

He was terrible when he was with us unfortunately....

He was an example of bring someone up from 3rd level futbol to 1st too soon. He and De La Red spent a season being on squad list for both Castilla and 1st team (like Mejias, Morata and Nacho are supposed to be this year). Next season De La red went to Getafe and blossomed but Javi stayed and was immature and mostly nervous when he played. I understand he has matured in Portugal but zero chance of him coming back. He was rightfully sold off for his poor performances. The lesson learnt is we need to give the canteras 2nd division (or a low 1st division team) experience to let them mature before bring them up and when we do, we have to be careful on how to gratually increase the pressure on them e.g. Varane.

Honestly I hesitate to really rate his time in the first team, because when he played it was during a time when the whole club was mad fail. It wouldn't be fair really.

He's obviously decent and like I said I'd rather have him than Lass/Altintop.
