Luis Garcia (Atletico Madrid)

Reports today suggest that the grey-haired Spaniard is under Fiorentina's glare.

I think we would be stupid to turn down any serious amount (ie over £8 million) for essentially a squad player.

no way garcia is staying at Anfield

he is top class

I'd be sad to see Garcia leave. I think he is good for the team, especially when we play at Anfield.

hope that he dont leave the reds he is a good asset there is just 1 thing with luis and thats if he starts the game bad he will normally play the whole game bad but he pops up with the reds important goals.......does any1 remember the two in the cups against chelsea both times lmao(laughin my arse off) :

Grey haired? 

  Garcia is so not leaving he is one of our best midfielders

Grey haired? Garcia is a good sub to make changes games, dont like him starting games, not as influential

garcia is a good second half player when rafa brings him on in the second half garcia dominates the hole game

garcia's staying. we've missed him loads this year

We have got to keep Luis Garcia. Hes not thats good in the premiership so we should play the ever improving Pennant in the premiership and Garcia in the champions league where he really shines

Quite lightweight, but a      winner on his night!
Hope he doesnt leave!!

He certainly knows how to strike a ball and ironicaly hes has one of the better headers of the ball

Not the original £8 million back from this speculation in November... but he is going to Atletico.

Topic...nearing...lockin g.

Louis certainly had his moments in a red shirt and leaves me with some great lasting memories, however, sentiment aside, inreality he does lack consistency and mabey due to this it is for the best. IF of course, and it's a big if, Torres cuts the mustard.  Still sad to see him go as I think he's a lovely character.

Grey haired? 

That's what I thought!! Wtf?!

It seems he is going.. and I am gutted :'(

he is in the atleti's stadium this morning

Goodbye Luis.  Thanks for the memories mate.  Still can't get over your leaving.

he is in the atleti's stadium this morning

edu, get down there with your camera and get us some pics of Rafa taking Torres out for a candlelit meal.

See ya Luis...take care mate and good luck(except if you get to play against us) in the future at Athletico....thanks for the memories ...and  mate that ball did cross the line

still speechless and shocked that he's gonna leave us...he'll be most missed in a red shirt...one of my favourite players at the club....


~YNWA luis~

no offence rushie mate but this is the stupidust rumour I have ever heard

Haha eat your words Willow I jest mate!

Gutted he's leaving but they come and go don't they! Just got to wish him luck haven't ya?

JUST IN

Little yellow bar has came up on SSN! Luis is officially an Athletico player! Goodbye little man!

From Sky Sports News
Atletico Madrid have confirmed the signing of Luis Garcia from Liverpool.

The diminutive schemer has signed a three-year deal at Atletico.

Garcia's agent claimed on Monday that a move was close to completion and now the Spaniard has tied up the formalities of his transfer.

"Luis Garcia returns to Atletico and will be presented on Tuesday at 13.30 hours," read a statement from the Spanish club.

"Atletico have reached an agreement with Liverpool to transfer Luis Garcia, who has agreed to a three-year contract.

"Once the player completes his medical, he will be presented to the media."

The former Barcelona man missed the second half of last season through injury and he will be keen to get back to full fitness at Atletico and win his place back in the Spanish national team.

The move paves the way for Liverpool to seal a deal for Fernando Torres, who is believed to be on Merseyside for talks with Rafa Benitez.
