I really hope you are right. Otherwise, effectively 2 years of Kokarov back in central defence every few games.
Saying that if we signed Koulibaly and kept one of Otamendi or Stones (not a great scenario), Garcia would be pushed down the pecking order even if he stayed.

My fear is, that Barca act fast & we cool off on buying another cb.

I get that fear but either Ota or Stones would block his path for 12 months providing one of them stays (I don't think Pep is that impressed with Garcia actions and did drop him for the Real game and will take along time to get back in his good books)

Perhaps they need to stop with the whole romantic guff about the club and treat it like a proper business
Perhaps if you had actually been paying attention, the current board did precisely that - treated it like a business rather than a football club much less a special one at that. Abandoning it's ethos & foundation laid down by Cruyff
Trump has reminded everyone that merely treating something as a business does not preclude you from failure

Probably that has more to do with the fact that he wanted dino's experience in defense. Garcia is good but such games might be to big for him at this stage

True but Garcia was trusted to play against the current Champions Liverpool (*) and was looking like he had future, although raw.

Yet again you are on a CITY forum lecturing a CITY fan. Utter dickPerhaps if you had actually been paying attention, the current board did precisely that - treated it like a business rather than a football club much less a special one at that. Abandoning it's ethos & foundation laid down by Cruyff

How long do you think it will take for Barca to rebuild?
Personally I think things will get worse before they get better.

Depends whether Bartomeu and/or Rosell still emerge unscathed enough to continue in which case much worse. I’m an optimist generally and historically the club has weathered similar peaks & valleys with different boards. It’s clear, change long overdue at top
Ideally, elections would happen immediately and change in leadership via Font and/or Laporta. Bring in Puyol as sporting director, Xavi as coach-among other things. We’ll see what happens when the dust settles a bit

Will they? dint think that bonus counts if he wins it with another club.
5m of coutinho money is probably enough to buy mbappe though.
Convinces me of nothing. Anyone can tweet anything. I'm not saying it isn't possible, i'm just questioning if it really is the case. I can't see the sense in it, or a contractual logic to it, given he'd be winning it with a different club, the whole point of these clauses is it spreads the investment of the buying club over probable benefits.

Five years? Ten years? Do you see a united scenario or an arsenal scenario?
I doubt it would be a liverpool type catastrophe.

But we were happy to offer him a 5 year deal. If Barca pull out, we'll be watching him dropping us points for about 2 years.
There’s a strong possibility we offered him that deal solely or primarily to protect his transfer value. Neither he, nor to a lesser extent Foden, were paid much notice until the league season was virtually done.

I thought that might be the case tbh & it might be. But someone recently quoted me Pep's description of Garcia, which is total bollocks & reads like it's his Son. He seems to be saying he deserves a chance because he was a leader in Barca's U15s etc.
I've just this minute read that Barca might be sacking their d.of f.
The idea of him playing cb in the Prem, gives me the shits. I mean, if he's slow & turns like a tank because he's growing, then fair enough. But I recon it's likely he's just shite & Barca don't know the difference.

With the way they spend 'Coutinho' money it'll last them a couple of years.If Coutinho wins the Champions League with Bayern Munich, Barcelona will have to pay €5m to Dippers.

Know what you are talking about if you want to weigh in on something. There will be no transfer fee for one while wages will never be an issue, if he has a preference on where to play
You're living in fantasy land otherwise

He could always go to the Qatari League with Xavi for a couple of seasons.
Yeah I didn't mention them,but it's just the same senario,
Done give to fks was FC barca says,he talks like a blinkered fking wanker,thers only 1 gods team and it's in Manchester.
David could go there for mega wages but no the humble guy as chosen Italy as a new challenge,
Barca to him is like the rags c.nts.
WE ARE this we are that,,well it's all fking changing Manuel.1billion in debt there fked
Out speading everyone,karma bites your arse
