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
I'd take the 18m now
judging by Sundays display he will fit right into your defence!
Can see why you want him. Who wouldn't want a short, slow centre half who gives penalties and goals away.

Next thing you'll be after a left back who cant defend.....take you pick zinchenko or mendy. who do you want?

spot on - take the 18m and run for the hills - that would be a good deal - he may improve but he aint a premiership defender
 
Apart from the Barca fan on here.

According to him we are letting go of the best cb in the whole wide world. He has described him as a mixture of pique,puyol and maldini. The club is a disgrace for letting it get to this point.

In reality; 3-4 years from now he will be at betis and the Barca fan will have gone quiet or found a new cule to feed his delusions.

I get Messi, Xavi, Iniesta, Puyol, Busquets Pique all came out of the youth team and were fantastic.

Those days have gone now. Just because you come from barca doesn't make you any good......Bojan, Bartra, Delofeu, Romeu, Roberto, Montoya, Cuenca, tello, suarez etc etc
 
Speculation on your part mate. Your prediction could be right but so could mine. You see Pique and I see another Dias situation(not the new Diaz). The faith in Garcia and the unwillingness to see his faults regardless of age is why you are losing the argument. Currently he is an ok defender with more bad qualities than good to be a top cb. Future? Fuck knows.

Well, apparently Pep, Barca, City & anyone who understands assessing football talent - that's who

Not like Pep and others havent made mistakes previous

Txixi bought in Mangala for starters and he was an unmittagted disaster

Peps record at Barca with centre halves is a mix of excellent and poor

These people are not infallable for starters....also some players thrive in some leagues but not in others and there are countless examples of this across all teams - look at KDB's first try int he prem with Chelsea - same with Salah -

Garcia does not suit the way we have to defend or play, he doesnt suit the more physical premier league. He may be very suited to the spanish league however

He is suited to passing the ball.

If a team can do his defending for him & he just sweeps up bits & pieces, he can play.

If they can't, he's fucked.

And even if he can, a proper defender who can also pass the ball, will always, without exception, be better than him.

18m would be great business, 20 m with Mendy even better

Yet Pep wants & starts him. I didn't suggest they don't/can't make mistakes, just that if I am building a team I would trust both my club's cantera & a legend like Pep over anyone else. There will be mistakes but by and large, success
