Eric Garcia to Barcelona

[salfordbluetrue]

The most important thing here is our reputation, the money is irrelevant, what we do now will be watched by every 16 year old in the world, paving that path will broken bottles will not go down well for our youth recruitment. Sancho going to Dortmund was not about first team selection he could have got that anywhere, but it was a proven path to Barca, Garcia going to Barca is good for City just as Suarez was and Diaz to Real was, we are getting a reputation for getting our youth into top sides. this is not Sane leaving it is a youth player

No, I’ve been clear and consistent with what that line in the sand is

Okay what is it then?

They can fuck off the cheap skates,who the fuck do they think they are,tick tock

 

[abu13]

No problem, they are unlikely to sign him then.

It does raise the question of whether it's worth keeping him to his contract for that amount. Another season of a settled centre back who knows the system, 13.5m won't get us that.

You've obviously got a good handle of the situation

£13.5m?! If they’re lucky, that will get them his pubes.

if he is not going to kick up a fuss then I say keep him

 

[Gabriel]

‘Unlikely‘ is the key word. It’ll get up to 15 (add ons) and he can toodle along, but Barcelona will have been seen to have crossed the fabled line. Disrespectful...

£13.5m seems like a negotiating ploy, but if that actually is the offer he's not being sold. Pep being a Barcelona supporter isn't going to change that.
