Eric Garcia to Barcelona

[Saddleworth2]

He's not on track to be anywhere for another year unless you lot pay up.

I would give him away tomorrow if it meant we can avoid Pep playing him.

This is my first post in a while, I don't think Eric has been brilliant, but I also think he has held his own reasonably well after making the step up without actually standing out in the sense that Foden does quite often.

To me this thread just reeks of cognitive dissonance, although it is understandable given our defensive woes now coupled with the LCFC result

Sutely it would be those still 'blindly believing' in Garcia, contrary to all rational evidence, who were suffering from that ?

I've only seen it once but I recall Vardy at the near post and Garcia tracking behind him. Is it not just possible that Vardy outpaced him to the near post?

No that didn’t really happen. Garcia gave Vardy a 5 yard start thinking he was playing him offside. Obviously once the ball went wide offside didn’t come into it and Usain Bolt wouldn’t have been able to recover in time. So it wasn’t because he’s slow as fuck it was because he messed up in leaving Vardy in the first place.

Good luck with that. Just don’t get drawn vs anyone with any pace in the ECL. Because he can pass 5 yards fairly competently does not make him a top defender and I have not been impressed at all. Sunday merely confirmed what I thought. Naive and slow to react. Vardy had him on toast.

As I have said before, similar was said about Pique - that worked out just fine

He could have caught him still but didn't try had enough imo.

KDB went apeshit with him.

Like I said, he won't be on track for your first team if he's sitting in the stands all season.

Dias, Laporte, Ake and Stones (when fit) all ahead of him. He might play the odd cup game.

And Delap will be the next Ronaldo. (The real one). You can tell.
Seriously mate, you are more than welcome to him.

Garcia looks better suited to being a holding midfielder. His key skill is reading the game and passing. His weakness of height/leap and speed is always going to be exposed in our defence

I agree I always said that Pep made a mistake he should tried Harwood-Bellis .
There was a window for a young defender to come through Garcia had his change he failed and he want to go now after Diaz and Laporte coming back Harwood-Bellis change is gone big mistake Pep big mistake.

Talk of swapping with rafinha

No clue about him.... Is he a CM or a CDM?
