Joe cole scored vs Everton in carling cup semi, liverpool european cup semi, World cup group stage volley vs Sweden, etc
basically performing on the same stage as Garcia - there respective teams not winning the trophy is a particularly weak arguement imo.
You're boring me on both threads now.
So what's your arguement here. Let's pocket-size it so I don't have to kick the chair.
Joe Cole is a better player because... he - and these are pretty much your words - was performing on the same stage as Garcia.
... and to a pretty similar level as well.
Now, I don't think my original arguement ever mentioned how I rate him in relation to Joe Cole. Your arguement was that Joe Cole was... let me see if I can get this right... "miles ahead in terms of consistancy".
Now, I'm pretty sure I've said on here a while back that there is little between the two of them. That Garcia was as good as Cole, or Hleb, but never credit with being so. I've said that he had more end product than Hleb which he did, and I've hinted (and said previously) that there is nothing between the end product of Cole and Garcia to make a distinction either way.
Therefor, I think I'm right in saying you have to provide facts that suggest the opposite. Given that their best ever seasons in terms of output are near enough identical. That they have both scored in 'big' games - although Garcia's considerably bigger... I'd say you've failed. You won't agree, but unless you can bring forward some thread changing evidence that you've kept up your sleeve until the very last moment... it would seem that my comment...
"Bet half of the idiots dismissing him were pissing themselves with delight watching Hleb or Joe Cole last season"
Would be pretty much bang on, and has been perfectly illustrated by your...
"....and joe cole is miles ahead in terms of consistancy"
Which has proven not to be the case.
