I hope he reconsiders. His composure for his age is impressive. And, Pep picking him over Otamendi, Stones, and even Fernandinho says a lot. There's no way to go but up for this kid.

And look how well it, predictably, worked.
Two goals purely down to defensive non coordination & stupidity.
As opposed to all those masterful defensive performances John Stones and Otamendi had been delivering?
Like I said as soon as you decide you're going with 3 at the back, Garcia was always going to play because Pep rated him higher
Ok, fuck me you like an argument
I dont really consider discussing football on a football forum an argument.

He will be fantastic for Barcelona and why we should hold out for 25m minimum because this time next year they’ll be all saying 25m was a pittance for him.
He might be club captain after their fire sale!

Stupidly imo.
He is currently by far our worst defender & plays offside like a robot.
Both barely played post-restart but you're right, it would've been so much smarter playing John Stones or Nicolas Otamendi in a Champion's League knockout than Eric Garcia. I'm sure this opinion wasn't shaped by Garcia wanting to leave at all.Stupidly imo.

Whereas playing a slow, clueless kid, was a fucking fantastic idea & just look how it worked out & who would have thought it beforehand ?
And who had the idea of not giving our real cbs any match fitness in the Prem, trusting a kid, a slow shit kid cb who shit on him ?
Oh & I am on record, from way back, on here, re Garcia, so no, it isn't because he's leaving, it's because he's so far been shit at defending & has no right to be anywhere near our team, on football merit.
If he ever became good enough, I'd have had no problem with him, but now he is leaving he doubly shouldn't have been playing.
That night is one of the biggest fuckups in CL history.
Pretty sure it was Pep Guardiola's idea? And he was right, because whatever you think about Garcia, Stones and Otamendi were worse.Whereas playing a slow, clueless kid, was a fucking fantastic idea & just look how it worked out & who would have thought it beforehand ?

Stones & Otamendi, even now, would get a game for most teams in the Prem.
The only place Garcia would get a game, is City.
