Just sell him, I see no reason to play him/improve him/give him more experience all for making him a better player when Barca snaps him up for free next summer.
We should improve/put energy into players that are here to stay.
I think if that 18m euros is the best Txiki was able to negotiate, we have to accept.
I didn't make a sweeping & definitive conclusion at the time. You made that for me in your fantasy Culo world.
I made the obvious conclusion that he would need to get much better in the air & get either much quicker or much tougher & smarter on the ground, to become a PL defender.
@Otamendi's Beard You or me?
I saw him live here in Nyon when he played against Barca in the semifinals, it was the most competitive match of the tournament - that Barca ended up winning
You otherwise must know something Pep doesn't, perhaps coaching is in your future

Pretty much all managers, including Pep, get absolutely shitloads of decisions wrong re players. Often fans know months in advance.
A classic example was Alex Ferguson playing Mal Donaghy, who was basically a better defending but shit passing version of Garcia.
Once he saw what the fans already knew, & replaced him they started winning everything.
Definitely you.
Pep likes intelligent players and he sees something. That's fine.
But many managers have backed duds in their time and unfortunately (I and most other fans who've seen Garcia regularly) can see something different.
Just bookmark these posts for a year's time when Garcia is getting rinsed inside out for Barca and you understand why he's a weak link at CB.
Special? Haha! He’s a tidy player who will probably have a half decent career but there’s nothing special about him as it stands.Where could you have possibly watched him enough at 17 to have made a sweeping & definitive conclusion when 10 years of youth experience only highlighted how special the player is? So yes, agenda
Sure thing. A player who has been outstanding since he was 6 years old is deemed unworthy at 17 while playing in City's reserves, beggars belief
But yes, I am ecstatic about his return - he is exactly the sort of central defender I want at my club
Players that are outstanding prospects as youngsters don't always make it to the top level. Just as some under the radar youngsters go beyond the predictions of their coaches.
You're welcome to him.
Except in your response you fail to grasp that Pep hasn't given up on Garcia, like you have even 2 years ago apparently. So yeah, agenda
Nope. Apparently he has something big on Ric, so to speak. He is an odious so and so that’s for sureCan someone thread ban this **** called @FCBarca

La Côte is in Switzerland isn’t it, thought Liverpool was the team there?A bit harsh because it's not really his fault .
He is a fully signed up cule, born in the heartlands of Barca loving fans , with all the traditional connections and love for his biggest local team, who simply wishes to impart his vast knowledge to those less well informed. The fact that he does so on BM , in a humble, mature and non-argumentative manner is a credit to him.
It's in his blood and I am personally so grateful for his contributions .
However I will be delighted when Garcia can be returned to Barca ( not for the pittance which they think is appropriate ) as I do not share Pep's enthusiasm for him as one of our central defenders . Perhaps another benefit for BM posters is that @FCBarca will follow ?
What about 2 ounces ?I wouldnt sell those cnuts a qtr of fruit salads
I never knew Barcelona was in fucking SwitzerlandA bit harsh because it's not really his fault .

Can't agree, I think he's a good poster, he's open about his allegiance for Barca, he's well informed and contributes a lot to debates on Messi, Garcia etc.Can someone thread ban this **** called @FCBarca
