Eric Garcia to Barcelona

[KCblue]

If we were after him, a current Spanish international would be valued at 35 mill plus.

Maybe so. The year left on his deal hurts our position though. We likely wouldn't have gotten Torres for as little as £21m if he had more than a year left and would have sold Sane for far more than we did. I'm just ready to get past it at this point.

Barca are playing with fire here, this kid is a star! They don't want RM coming in with a bid of 30m, I really don't know what they are waiting for, as a token of good will we are offering them one of our greatest talents and they are fiddling about! Just the other day I heard something about Juve offering 25m plus Bonucci but we told them Bonucci was too old, that's what I heard, I am not saying its true, just telling you guys what I heard. Top teams are in for this kid and I am surprised Barca hasn't capitalized on our good relationship with them to sign this kid up! Its crazy. What are they waiting for???

I think the Rags would be crazy to pass on this lad. Ideal partner for Maguire.

You do understand that it's a public forum, that young footballers may possibly take an interest in the largest independent football forum appertaining to the team they bleed for and that such cruel slander thrown at a 19yo boy could be devastating?

From all accounts he's a nice guy. Everybody who's met him likes him. He does his best, he works hard, he's quite and unassuming, he keeps himself to himself and he never speaks bad about the club or us supporters. In fact I'm sure that you'd like him if ever you met him.

And he gets wise guys coming on here to slaughter him for having the audacity to be selected to play for the 1st 11 at the club that employs him.
Imagine if it were your son or daughter coming in for this billy big bollocks nonsense that dinks spout at the kid from behind the safety of a keyboard? It's little more than online bullying.
You make light of it but it's undeserved, pointless and cruel for the sake of it.

I rarely say anything when they throw crap at the seasoned professionals. It would be like water off a duck's back to the likes of Otamendi, because he's old enough to know that it's cowardly behavior and that nobody would have bottle enough to say to his face, but they should please leave the kids alone.

I reckon he's FCBarca

I am still angry that Pep chose to play him every week instead of working on a proper cb pairing. It cost us badly.

I have asked about 20 people in recent times, to give an example of what makes this slow, aerially challenged player any better positionally than an average Championship defender. Not 1 decent answer.

Firing back the same attitude: I recon the only reason anyone rates him is down to Pep's comments, which were made after one game, where Mané ran at him & he fell over.

He reads the game well and is more composed than Harry Winks with a better passing range

Just want him gone so pep can't be tempted to play him anymore.

 

[The Fat el Hombre]

I think he's a feeble centre half who flatters to receive because he looks composed and a lot of people get over excited about halves who are reasonable comfortable on the ball, even though the passes he plays are all pretty straight forward and simple (e.g. no longer passes or feeding balls through midfield). Anything 15 million and above and it's christmas for me. Might fair better abroad but he'll never be a premier league centre half as long as he has a hole in his arse

 

[Fordyboy46]

These clubs like Barca,Bayern etc hate us with a passion and just take the piss with player valuations. I would be amazed if we ever sign a player from these clubs again.

Harry Winks might be a deadline day surprise.

 

[wolviedinho]

How did he behave unprofessionally?

He led the club to believe he was signing a new deal. Pep told the world he was about to sign then boom I’m off to Barca.

I would call that unprofessional as I am sure he had made the decision a long time ago. He played the club and we are now going to lose out on a hefty transfer fee and he restricted the game time for some of the academy players.

Second reason is that he has been poor on the pitch after he announced that he would not sign an extension. I would say his actions are unprofessional.

Neither age or salary are barriers to bullying.

Correct but Garcia isn’t being bullied by anybody in reality because if you believe that he frequents this forum then you’d probably also accept that my cock’s a kipper
