Cant really say that Stones is yet, he was never going to play much after his injury
Can't do any worse than Otamendi. But Ota is probably ahead of him regardless.I rate Garcia, I think he’s a really good footballer. He’s impressed me every time he’s played for us. But in them few games there’s been moments when I’ve thought in the league he’d maybe get caught out for not being physically up to it at this stage in his career.
do you honestly believe Garcia is expecting to play premier league at this stage in his career..I’m sure he is more than happy where he is at
Oh ffs,it was one gameNo not necessarily but it's to do with circumstance. Playing two CDMs instead of him would surely make him question his position in the peaking order. Right now, it appears it's Laporte, Stones, Otamendi, Fernandinho, Rodri then him so being 6th choice CB probably wasn't his hope.

Pep has a history of playing tall DMs into the CB spot, in fact Rodri seems like the more logical choice than Dinho in this regard.And it's the only game we can go off regarding Garcia's position in the pecking order. I'm not even arguing that he's ready but it looks apparent that he's behind Rodri as a CB option which is a tad concerning.

Gonna echo in what others said, he is only 18, Dinho isn't going to be here that long and Otamendi will probably be the same. The lad has time on his side.
Fair enough, but consider last season we had Dinho, Kompany and Otamendi as CB options, and next season may lose all 3, we can't only have 2 senior CBs in Stones and Laporte, a 3rd is a MUST.I agree about Dinho who only has another season after this maximum but we're most likely going to buy a replacement for Otamendi going off reports so the passage to being a first choice CB option doesn't appear clear right now.

I agree but considering we'll most likely purchase a young CB as we usually do our business and the age of Rodri, it doesn't look like Garcia really has much of a shot.
