Andrés García

[Toronto Villa]

I thought for a lad coming out of the Spanish second tier he was excellent in his first start at Villa Park. Solid, didn’t make a meal out of the simple stuff.

[PaulWinch again]

Did well very.

[Demitri_C]

Veey impressive

Sonny don't go away, I'm here all alone
Your Daddy's a sailor, never comes home

I used to think the words were "your daddy's a failure, never comes home"

That song drove me mad on a family holiday with my ex wife, must be about 30 years ago. She got a tape of the album it was from and insisted on playing it every time we got in the car. I went from thinking it was alright to being unable to stand it by  the end of the fortnight. Thinking back that might have been the beginning of the end for our marriage.

Ha, sorry Chris! Was it on the album "A Woman's Heart", released circa 1992? Sold 750k copies in Ireland which is the equivalent to about 10m in the UK.

Imagine if we blag an upgrade on Cash for less than £8m. 

[AV84]

I'm not as hard on Cash as some posters are, and I would have been happy to get a ready to go back up at RB until we found a proper replacement/upgrade. (Nedeljkovic looks like he has potential, but clearly Uni doesn't rate him right now.) The fact that Garcia could be the replacement/upgrade is brilliant. We could potentially save a lot of money by not having to spend big in that position come the summer.

[Exeter 77]

I was wondering how Garcia was feeling today. He's played very little if any top flight football and suddenly he then he finds himself playing behind Marco Asensio. He just seems representative of Villa as a club in the twovand a bit years since Ubail Emery was appointed.

Looks like a potential bargain to me, shame he can’t play in the Champions League.

[andyh]

I think he already looks an upgrade on Cash.

[PaulWinch again]

I think he already looks an upgrade on Cash.

He did alright today, but Cash gets a ludicrously hard time from some of our fans. He’s been a good player for us. If Garcia kicks on brilliant, but way too early to make that kind of assessment in my opinion.

[AV84]

Probably everything today needs to be tempered with the fact that Spurs were abysmal for most of the game, but especially the first half. There may as well have been nobody in the middle of the pitch, we had so much freedom.

[tomd2103]

Liked what I saw today.  Looked a solid, natural RB who knows the position and his role.  Got forward well at times as well.  A promising start.

[dcdavecollett]

Impressive. Looked more powerful than I'd taken him to be.

[N'ZMAV]

he's a stocky little sod.

[Brend'Watkins]

Didn’t put a foot wrong, I thought he was excellent.
