Eric Garcia joins Barcelona

Very goodDon’t care what size they are, if they’re good footballers, they’ll make it.

As the general level of technique improves, you’ll see more smaller central defenders. You already don’t see many massive target men up front any more- football evolution- and I reckon we’ll see the same at the back over the next ten years. That change will be accelerated once they stop youngsters heading the ball.
Dude from Sevilla we almost got before Dias came available, isn't much bigger.

Watching the twins I feel Quinten will make a better Pep CB and Jurrien a better DM. Quinten is more technical and smoother, calmer and has better vision. John Stone-ish, I'd say. while Jurrien Is a mixture btw Nkolo Kante and our Brazilian at West Ham. Forceful, intense, explosive and aggressive.

Both are very decent prospects from what I see.

Jurrien made his full international debut last night, playing at the back in a three. You might be right about their eventual trajectories, but I think Jurrien will quickly establish himself as the main central defender alongside de Ligt.

We have a Brazilian at West Ham?
 
Good luck from me as well. A very accomplished defender for one so young. I thought he got exposed for pace a few times when caught one on one but that doesn't mean he wont be a good defender.
I think you watch the game through blinkers Marvin, Garcia was bobbins and never accomplished nevermind very accomplished. The languid pace of la Liga will suit his style but i very much doubt he'll ever be regarded as a world top 10 CB whilst he's playing. The more he played for us the more average he became. Not good enough to play regularly in the PL for any club thus far in his career.
 
In just 346 minutes (that was 3 starts and a 76 minute substitute appearance after Cancelo got sent off early doors) of game time this season with him on the pitch we conceded 12 goals and 5 penalties.

In those four games our record was:
P4 W1 D1 L2 F9 A12 GD-3 Pts4/12

Id imagine Ake isn’t too far off these stats!
 
Their offer was more like €2m upfront and the remainder conditional on things like him playing 500 games and winning the Ballon D’or, Eurovision and the World’s Strongest Man.
City laid down a marker to discourage the likes of Barca thinking they could tap up our young prospects in future and then pick them up immediately on the cheap.
Well that worked out well lol
 
He was standing beside him for some of those matches.
Yep, both players only playing with numerous changes and disjointed sides. Hard to point the finger at them
Individually. Considering our options he won’t be a big loss and he’s acted with nothing but decency about us over the last few days, something even our legends don’t always do. Good luck to him.
