Eric Garcia to Barcelona

[ManCitizens.]

One thing for certain is that you won’t get him for free. His fee will be determined by a tribunal if the clubs can’t agree a settlement.

One thing that isn’t certain is if Barca can find enough magic beans to afford even that.

How can a club that declares itself as more than just a club be managed so poorly.

How can a club that declares itself as more than just a club be managed so poorly.

Because they are more than a club. Nothing else matters. Their history mirrors the rags. Had a bit of success in the 60s, then did nothing until the early 90s and they’ve run the crest of a wave whilst being run poorly at times, but bailed out by Messi, Iniesta and Xavi.

 

[Keeper!]

How about we kill two birds with one stone here?

Tell Garcia we're unwilling to do business with Barca, but are willing to sell to Seville as a make weight for Kounde?

Yea because he really wants Seville doesn't he, and if you think he would not wait until next June for Barca your deluded.

Out of contract means just that. Would love to hear the arguments by City in a tribunal seeking compensation for 3 years of development vs 10

At best, City would be fortunate to recoup the 1.7M compensation fee they paid Barça in 2017 - effectively free when turning down 15-18M

First team football under Guardiola is his development. Didn’t we get a fee for sancho around 12M and he didn’t even get a 1st team start. Expect it to be around that figure.

Sancho deal was a transfer including add ons, sell on fee etc - not compensation via a tribunal

If they won't pay up just leave him in the stands for the rest of the season.

Thankfully he won't ever have to play now we have Dias.

Imagine how sharp he'll be after 9 months without any games...

 

[waspish]

I wasn't convinced that he can be a good addition until recently.

Haha once he said he wants to leave!

 

[Centurions]

His cameo against Bournemouth may be the clue

What? The one where he was thrown in at LB/LWB when he's an attacking midfielder and then got badly injured? That game?

 

[Bubbagump]

I am not 100% on how he has done while at Barcelona but if they are wanting a player exchange due to their financial situation then i don’t think Firpo has been getting a lot of playing time.

According to all the initial rumours we were looking at him before Barcelona bought him.

Would this potentially be a good option?
