Eric Garcia to Barcelona

[oakiecokie]

The only thing I don't like about this deal is that it smacks yet again of a European rival tapping up one of our players.

That aside, it may force our hand on brining in a new right sided centre back, and I still think John Stones is potentially good enough to challenge any new centre back we may bring in.

He wants to go, Barcelona have some romanticised or politicised idea to bring him home and he is the new puyol, let them as long as it's at a good price.

Only area we may take a hit is wages, but am sure we can cover that.

Also nicely fuels the speculation that we're gearing up for a bigger transfer by trimming the edges of our squad.

Sorry but you`re very naive if you think for one moment that City would never dream of doing this.It happens everywhere in football and it will never go away.

Dennis Suarez says hello, Eric.....

Haha, there is that!

It's a fair understatement to say our execs don't get on.

No chance of Messi then?

And 9 cm shorter than Garcia

I think you've got your figures mixed up somewhere mate. Puyol is 9cm shorter than me and I'm comfortably taller than Garcia.

It's probably got a lot to do with that down the years!!

 

[Bournemouth Blue]

A decent player but not worth clinging on, if he decided he wants to go to Barcelona good luck to him, we should make sure we get a decent fee and and a signing-on clause though

 

[tolmie's hairdoo]

£40m for Garcia and Brahim, no more than 20 first-team games between them.

It's a system which certainly generates cash for us.

 

[Neville Kneville]

Fine if it gets done at 20m + a sell on

Yep pep should play fringe players more regularly put in the spot light and get a decent fee.

All those nothing games at the end of the season he played in we could have got some game time and confidence into John Stones. What an obnoxious little prick.
