In the final days of the summer market, Arsenal tried to sign Garcia, but found Espanyol's asking price too steep.
For his part, there are no regrets for Garcia, who insists he's happy with the Pericos.
He said, "During the whole transfer window I was isolated, calm. The last few days were more intense, but honestly I only thought about (the next game against) Rayo, focusing on what I had to do.
"I achieved it and I didn't allow myself to have any distractions in this sense, although everything comes to you. I knew where I had to have my head.
"I am happy that the fans celebrate and value me. I have worked all these years to have this opportunity and that is what is happening; I hope to take advantage of it and that we all have a great season."
