Farewell Luis Garcia



The news of Luis Garcia leaving us is confirmed. He has moved to where he started, Atletico Madrid. His transfer has nothing to do with Torres big move though there were speculation of a part-exchange deal.

I'm sad to see him leaving us. Garcia is one of my favourite players and he has been scoring crucial goals for the team over the years. Many may feel that he's frustrating due to his high rate of losing possession. Still, it's no doubt that he's an important player for us. He is unlucky this season with an injury.



He is just one of the players who has a trick or two in his sleeves. Someone who can just create something out of nothing. He's always alert and tend to be at the right time and place to put the ball into the net. That's what I love about him. His celebrations of his thumb in his mouth is unforgettable.

Unfortunately, maybe due to his age, we had no choice but to let him go. He wants to go back to where he started to be and it's right for us to let him go. I'm sure that Rafa was reluctant to sell him. His contract is going to be expired and there's no more options for us as well.

Luis Garcia has been great for us. His goals were memorable and without doubt, he will be remembered by us. One of the key members in our Champions League triumph in 2005 and the FA Cup win in a year later.

Here are some videos of Luis Garcia..









Farewell Luis Garcia.
All the best for the rest of your career, we definitely will miss you.

You'll Never Walk Alone..
