Sabre wrote:RAGE UK, that's a fair comment. In Spain there are lots of that players and Luis Garcia is not the worst of the lot. I too come from a place in where that kind of playacting is not well seen (Don't think you'll ever see that on Alonso or anybody who comes from here, except del Horno, who's a bad actor)

how do you get away with it sabre (the acting i mean)

For all there Spanish style and there Italian flair along with the flamboyunce of the French. There is one thing that has hit the British shores like a contagious disease and thats the play acting that's gone with it. Even the English lads are now at it, this never used to be part of the game and it's very sad to see. It's one of the worst points about today's game, I realise that europeans bring alot of technical flair to our game but this also is what comes with it. Yeah I know you take the rough with the smooth and all that, but I was talking to a semi- proffesional Englishman about play acting and he quite happily admited to me thats what he does and would do in order to get opponents booked.

Sabre wrote:if you ask me what do I think about acting, I must say that I'm a typical northern Spanish supporter, I punnish that attitude with insults. If I remember what are most of the unpopular players in my stadium, most of them are acting-cheating-ba$tards players like Guti (who's asked in Anoeta what's his true sex), Etxeberria, Dani... all of them are cheaters. Indeed this is the reason why Becks or Owen or McManaman were not hated around here even being an archrival players, no matter if they're a Manc or a scouser,brit players have a better attitude than others, and people ackowledges that, it's common knowledge.

Some Spanish  culture Bonus



Here we have a classical Real Madrid acting in which Michel was testing Valderrama's testicles. Valderrama seemed not to be very bothered, and that created a famous song, "Michel , Valderrama, juntos a la cama!" wich sounds very round, and means "Michel and Valderrama, go together to the bed"

As many have said in other threads the key to winning the league is buying the right players this summer and CONSISTENCY. Garcia IMHO will never give us this and therefore cannot be part of our long term goals (no pun intended).

Eventually his wastefulness is going to cost us dearly and possibly be the difference in winning or losing when playing the other big three.

His tricks and flicks are becoming far too predictable for the opposition and  he has a negative impact on everyone the amount of times he gives the ball away with schoolboy errors.

Buy another right winger and either ship him out or have him as "super sub" type player.
