Andrés García

[VillaTim]

So, we have 2 development players at RB: Ned's a full international and had now had some EPL experience. Garcia is older, has experience in the Spanish 2nd division, and ...
... there you go; not sure where this is going.

Seems a case of money's too tight to mention

[Mister E]

Put a different way: he's plied his trade in the Spanish second tier - isn't that the same level as KKH?

[LeeB]

Two feet, quick, strong, likes a step over.

He'll do for me.

I’m going with the now stock line of ‘could be another Morgan Rogers.’ And hope for the best.

Cash has payed consistently well for weeks, crossing aside, helped no end by Kamara being sublime. Emery clearly thinks Ned needs more football. Maybe this lad is closer to being ready, with potential to give us more going forward. If he's anywhere close to being a success, it's a masterstroke.

[Astnor]

Can be kind of same deal as Rogers, bought from second level with relatively same amount of money - heres hoping anyway.

[VillaTim]

Cash has been playing well , I don't see this kid getting near the first team yet unless there's a crisis . Jumping from Spain div 2 to the Prem won't be an easy transition.

Any clips of him defending 😂

Levante fans seem to think he's the second coming off Cafu. If he's half as good as they think, we're doing the right thing.

That’s always a good sign I think
I know we can look at Rogers and Tielemans and say the fans got it wrong there, but in general fans know what they’re talking about because they’re watching all the games and if they like him I think that’s a positive

[eamonn]

Link to the Levante forum and someone who speaks Valenciana? Probably John Blackwell...

Lol, as if a Villa defender would need to be any good at defending!

[jwarry]

Hopefully this is classic Monchi.  He looks very promising but never played international youth football so plucked from obscurity.  Could be the bargain of the season

As long as he’s aggressively pushing Cash for a starting position, I’m happy.

 If he’s not as good as Cash, it would suggest we haven’t got our transfer business in order and therefore we have a recruitment problem, especially as the club don’t consider Kosta quite ready yet to challenge Cash.

More likely we are having to operate within a budget and have spotted an undervalued player. 

As others have outlined, this probably means Ned can go on loan to speed up his development.  Garcia is Cash’s understudy when we want an attacking RB.  Konsa first alternative/defensive option, subject to what happens with Carlos/a player coming in.

It might not work out but its more proof of a holistic transfer strategy rather than proof of a problem in my opinion.
