They had us over a barrel with García if he would not sign for anyone else. We either get scrap value in Jan or next to nothing in June when his contract ends.
I would have taken £10m and got shut before the transfer window than 360k euros in June/July.
For years I thought Pierce Brosnan was Remington Steele only to find out years later that it was actually Stephanie Zimbalist.
I'm now thinking that this mysterious FCBarca is really a Madrid supporter.
You voted Bartomeu in. Nothing to suggest you won't vote in someone else who'll mismanage in the future.
We played poker and both lost. Barca left 10m in chips on the table and we walked away and went back to playing the roulette machine.Khaldoon said the day’s of clubs taking the piss out of City in the transfer market are over.
A fair offer from Barcelona would have got Garcia.
But they played poker and lost.
Look where Barcelona are now in La Liga.
Garcia may have made some or the difference in their defence.
Imagine Barcelona not making the top four and missing out on next seasons CL.
Yep, we will have to make do with those dodgy bastards who have run the club into the ground.. Oh, wait..Yet, we'll still be able to vote - most clubs & their fans will never have that luxury

We are now coming back round to the table at 3am, pissed and might make a couple hundred grand if we are lucky.
What a waste of a night.....
The club tried to call the bluff of Barca and Txiki no doubt wanted to get one over on his old employees, it didnt work. We are now stuck with him, paying his wages and hes taking up a space on the bench that should have gone to someone like Harwood-Bellis or Doyle.
We don't need 5 CBs + Fernandinho, its ridiculous.
I know we have, I disagree with it completely.We've played Garcia when we've needed to play him. He isn't languishing in the reserves or at home all the time.
We don't need £19mill. We need a squad that can compete for 4 trophies. If that means having 5 fit centre halfs, so be it.
Last season we were down to 1 proper and fit centre half at times. City weren't going to make the same mistake again this season, hence signing Ake and Dias, and keeping Garcia.
