Eric Garcia to Barcelona

[Neville Kneville]

Clearly people on here think because they are local guys they should be taking up valuable squad places and are good enough to play in one of the best football teams in the world.
I find that incredible, especially in term of Tosin. He has had a decent season in a average team in the championship, yet people on here think he is miraculously good enough for our squad.

And Garcia, who has done nothing anywhere, & wouldn't get in Blackburn's team, comes in, drops numerous bollocks & miraculously IS good enough, because Puyol is his agent.

Disagree there, he has come in, admittedly when games have little or nothing at stake, and done well for a young player.

He looks a good prospect , fantastic reader of the game but nothing more at this time but still a player I would rather have kept.

So actually defending doesn't matter then ?

Or is being turned inside out by Danny Wellbeck good ?

I think international transfers use a formula set by FIFA, not UEFA, for compensation, which I believe would give us a lower fee than if he went to another English club

Yes, I thought I was wrong about UEFA but wasn't 100%. It's much lower than UK to UK.

Before we get carried away yes he looks good but the again do did Jason Denayer, Matija Nastasic and Stefan Savic all are earning decent money but never made the elite level.

Denayer was fucking off Scottish cfs & winning young poty at a similar stage. They would chew this kid up.

Nastasic, similar to Garcia but better.

Yep and let's not forget Phil Jones looked class at Blackburn potential doesn't always get fulfilled.

Maybe he's missing his Nan or something or just wants to be closer to his family, who knows? But the timing sucks ass I think? In any any case, there may be things ongoing that we are not privy too?? "All that said, get him gone, with our blessing.....Next"!

He played midfield didn't he ?

Denayer is a prime example of why I'm so pissed off with the favouritism shown to this kid.

He earned his chance, playing in front of big crowds, often covering Van Dijk's arse when he had a brainfart & didn't even get 5 mins in the Prem.

He was 'too risky'. But Garcia can fuck up as much as he wants & get a free pass.

Denayer was basically Nathan Ake & should have been back here, with Van Dijk.

We almost ruined him, he lost his way for some years but we show favouritism with Puyol's kid & he dumps us anyway.

I don't like it at all.

Sorry, but can you tell me where this magical ‘elite level’ starts and ends? With respect, Lyon, Schalke, and Atlético Madrid are top teams. Are we in it? ;-)
