Eric Garcia to Barcelona

[FromPollockToSilva]

If Wolves didn't feel compelled to sign every Portuguese player, they'd be lucky to get €3mil. He's awful.

He’s not an awful player, just an awful defender. But he’ll play as a wingback at Wolves so it won’t really matter

 

[FCBarca]

Yeah, his U10 year is basically the same developmentally as being nurtured into an EPL starter with a Champios League start by one of the greatest managers alive.

One can only imagine what his last three years of development would have been under the shitshow succession of managers at Barca.

Keep up, I have previously acknowledged the weighting of player development at different stages. There's no question that 3 years under Pimienta would've been inferior to that of Guardiola but he has only been exposed to the first team mostly in this past season rather than 3 years of Pep tutelage. Moreover, he did not arrive at 16 as some unpolished obscure talent - he was a massive loss at the time specifically because of how great a talent he was at every youth category (including Captain), even U10

In an accurate edit, it should be stated he has partly been developed by City under Pep

I dunno. They wanted us to give them 30M plus one of Garcia or cancelo for him at different times depending on who you believe. It's either delusional or aspirational.

Delusional, he's pish.

 

[Delphinho]

Hope he fucks off before the window closes

Still on this window apparently stupidity unless one of our targets is in the bag imo. Not in squad tonight.

Man City to give green light for starlet to join Barcelona for €18m

Eric Garcia could still leave Manchester City before the transfer deadline after Barcelona came to an agreement, according to reports.

Id take 18m for him in a hearbeat

However the fact that Barca were supposedly trying to get the lad from Norwich on free loan for a year should tell everyone how much of a state they are in financially.

 

[KCblue]

I'd take €18m for him tbh. Obviously more would be ideal but keeping a player who's set on leaving for nothing next year does no one any good. Get some cash in for him, make a profit of around €16m on him and use it toward the last purchase(s) of the window.

Semedo is very good! Im pretty sure he will show that , he can improve even more

 

[decmancity]

18m is great business, the fee has crept up every few weeks. He is less than 3mths away from agreeing a free transfer so why wouldn't we take a sum like that.

 

[mancityscot]

i still think garcia will be away this window.

It can and should creep up a bit more. Couple more mill and some hefty bonuses. Have him cheap, but with Coutinho money type of income next 2 decades.

But would we likely to see any add on's in the coming years, with their dire financial circumstances?

 

[Easy]

Accept the €18m bid ASAP

 

[Phil1]

Don’t get the hype. Definitely a player in there but letting him go will cost me not one second of sleep.

 

[waspish]

Would of rather seen tosin in then Garcia who wants out! If he wasn’t Spanish he’d be nowhere near the team.

 

[MeatHunterrr]

All he has passing ability. No pace, no aerial ability... not just this match but previously too.

This kind of CBs are out of date by about 5 years.

Classic!

 

[Bluster]

I only saw the second half but I thought he played well.

 

[p.taker]

It takes about three seconds to look up old posts by users praising Garcia. Of course all of them are before the news of him not renewing his contract become public. I'm surprised some of you continue to tack on really.

 

[RayCTID]

Was partly at fault for their equaliser but other than that he coped well enough.
