He's 19, he played in one of the best teams ever seen in the Premiership , he played in the Champions league, in both competitions he did not look out of place.

Eric Garcia to Barcelona

I really don't want to be that guy. We've all said stupid shit in the past. It's glaringly obvious what's happened here and it's pretty embarrassing. Before the summer he was a top prospect who was about to sign a new contract. Now he's past it. A defender for past eras.
He’s still a top prospect and it was exciting seeing him break through.
Garcia could of stayed and learned behind Laporte and our new 1st choice CB and after a few years maybe develop into a top player.
But now he chose to go to Barca, He’s only 19 and not ready to be a starter for a big club imo. Garcia decided not to renew so we should sell him and accept the €18m or so bid Barca apparently made.
Personally think it’s a wrong career move but it’s his choice. Take the money, no point letting him go for free especially considering he’s not really an important squad player right now.

What examples do you have of him defending terribly?
Read my posts in recent pages.
Those are just a few detailed obvious examples.
Then perhaps you could counter them with some examples of his special defending which makes him stand out.

Regrettably, I think many will be saying similar when Pep leaves - the jilted lover syndrome
Well in my case I an on here saying it re Garcia two years ago, so how does that work ?

And unfortunately Micha went backwards even before his injury.
For a 19 yr old Garcia is an outstanding young CB ,if he continues in his development he will become a very good player.
What then, other than his passing, makes him outstanding ?
It's definitely not his comprehension of offside.

If you were saying it when he was 17 when he never got a sniff of the 1st team then you have an agenda...that only has increased since

I haven't seen anything from him that suggests he's good enough yet. Clearly those with an eye for it at the top of football are impressed enough but I don't get it.
Pep played a creative mid, from Barca, at left back last night rather than play any of the left backs.
Just saying
a 19 yr old Spanish kid playing probably the hardest position in football in one of the best club sides in world football.What then, other than his passing, makes him outstanding ?

He was better than Stones and Otto last season, he was trusted by his manager more, I will take Pep's opinion more than yours thanks!

I disagree, the cases are very different. There's a sense that Garcia has taken more out of City than he has put in. Nobody could say that about Pep.
He has failed so far in the Champions League but transformed the domestic game in England and set many records, including the domestic treble win.
