Eric Garcia to Barcelona

[colesy]

I think sometimes we worry to much about fees, when the club have a business policy. Whatever we got last minute for Tosin doesn't bother me, 2mill or 10mill is not of concern. We manage to get a move for a player basically untried at this level, to another premier league club, which I think is great for him.

Garcia, well quite rightly fcuk Barca, if we took the 8mill plus add-ons, most on here would be moaning, let him and them wait another year, a few million means nothing to City. I'm glad we didn't bow down to them, after what they did to Messi.

I think he would of fit right in.

 

[Whether or not]

The fee wasn't important the fact we won't be bullied by the likes of Barca is worth more then 15 mil which was probably 10 odd million of unlikely add ons. I'm proud of the board fair play.

I could not agree more. This had everything to do with the cartel FFP conspiracy and nothing to do with Garcia. City were simply not going to be bullied by Barca, who thought they could offer us buttons. Get him out on loan now to the Championship for a year. As for Tosin, if he makes the grade this season in the Prem, we will be getting a hefty sell on fee next summer or the year after.

 

[Keeper!]

Would rather have the money in the bank.

We now have 2 unhappy CB at the club.

Garcia wanted out and Stones who the club were happy to leave to go to Spurs on loan.

No tears from me. Fuck him and fuck Barca;
His contract is complete so we lose nothing in actual money.
My only hope is that a youngster gets the place he’d occupy because we shouldn’t be developing this guy any further.

Ridiculous that Barca rate him so highly, he’s the future of their defene and yet they won’t even meet our valuation and will only go close with a low initial plus a fuck tonne of add-ons? What a piss take!

 

[Sir Joe Aguero]

So we've got 2mil + tribunal money for Tosin and Garcia? Bit of a shambles really.

21M swing for City, per-contract in Jan and free in June. Player arrived for a pittance as a 16 yr old 3 years ago when more than 10 fold profit was dismissed. Won’t be admitted publicly but clear Messi saga played into this

Todibo was loaned out in the end however which is consistent with the poor sports planning of Bartomeu. Oriol Busquets to provide depth in central defense

Let’s see how his remaining months at City go as player unlikely to be happy about the intransigence or being a victim of political gamesmanship. Of course, Eric also knows returning is never easy once you leave via back door

But his return is assured as his fee

Never want to see this slow fucker in out first team till he fucks off for free.


But good on city refusing to buckle to barca

 

[oldius]

Barcelona behaved appallingly and now some fans are annoyed we wouldn't let them dictate to us?

 

[clarion]

Give him new contact now :)
