Eric Garcia to Barcelona

The kid’s as good as gone - he wants to go home, which is entirely understandable, and is being professional and respectful whilst holding his position.

No point wasting energy on the ins and outs of it anymore - it’s done, and has been for a few weeks already.

He’ll be at Barca next season, and hopefully one of our own will get his opportunities.

No great loss.

I don't understand why folks accept this tbh.

'I hope to fuck off in a year from now but in the meantime I'll play for City' is not usually considered a suitable attitude for our players.

But no rules of promotion on merit, performance or committment seem to apply to this kid.

I can't ever remember anyone else getting such leeway in each area.

A few complimentary words from Pep work miracles it seems.

Not bothered either way, but promotion on merit, performance etc have nothing to do with answering a question about barcelona that has no answer other than the one he gave just stating facts as they are. It has no bearing on my feelings about him as a player or person either way.

Yes, he's been honest that he's happy to hang around at City for a year then fuck off for free if neccessary.

Not usually deemed acceptable by City fans nor fair game for being aired in public.

If he lingers on he wont get any game time so he probably will leave.

It isn’t what he said, he said he’s going back to City. Which as it stands he is. It would be a bit presumptuous if he answered, I haven’t signed a new contract and I expect to be signing for Barcelona next week. What would you have said ?

Give Garcia his wish and let him go, Any player that doesn't want to be a City should be shipped out. No player is bigger than our football club especially not Eric Garcia.

Similar situation to Brahim Diaz (who I was disappointed in him going to move to Real Madrid's bench).
 
Garcia seems like a really smart, decent, kid so I'm going to go out on a limb and say he wouldn't have made those comments unless he knows that moving this summer is basically a done deal. It doesn't make a ton of sense otherwise.

These lads think the grass is greener on the other side, He's a kid turning down a new contract at City which recently gave him numerous first team opportunities. He might go back to Barcelona and be sat on the bench for the entire season too.

I would rather not talk about that thank you, City have given me a wonderful opportunity & I'm very grateful, wonderful working with Pep, ultimate respect for the club etc.

Like he would if he played for Barca, the little twat.

See Mason Greenwood & Harry Maguire.

in some ways, he did say he was in the national squad because of city.

The kid will be gone by the end of the window. If barca pay fair or in some ways get him included in a deal for messi if that is what it takes. I just don't see anything malicious or ungrateful in the comments to a direct question pep has already answered. At least he didn't contradict him.

When Gary Neville or Scholes, refers to Utd or Micah Richards, Vincent Kompany, etc refer to City, note the word they use compared to the kid who is supposed to be a member of the team.

Little shite.

He would probably suit a less physical league.
 
Maybe City will reflect on this, on how we promoted a youth player, game him chances, and then made 20m on the guy with a year left on his contract (in a positive way).

For players who stand out on our team, all of a sudden their value goes way up, 20m for Eric with 1 year left is pretty high for his age when you think about it, we have basically valuated him at 50m+ while playing like 10 or so games.
