Eric Garcia to Barcelona

[abu13]

With Stones & Garcia staying plus the signing of Dias means we won't be seeing Ferny in a back 4 for a long time.

That alone has to be worth the loss of any fee.

If I walk into a shop and there's no price on it but the shopkeeper sets a price based on who I am or what I look like, I will happily leave empty handed. Try again

No mate Barca got told to fuck off, shame many before havnt done the same

What gives them the right to decide how much a City player is worth 1 year or 5 years I dont give a fuck

Barca have made a complete arse of themselves in the last 18 months with City & FFP & you expect City to do business on Barca terms no mate go fuck ya selfs

Eric Garcia transfer was very close to Barça. Until the last minute, Barca and City were negotiating to complete Garcia's transfer. Barça offered €18M: €10M + €5M (easily achievable) BONUS +€3M (more complicated bonus). City wanted €10M +€10M easily achievable bonuses.

Ultimately, for a difference of €3M (guaranteed) a forfeiture of €21M

Yeah Barca fucked the kid over for 3 million (which mind you were bonuses). Pity. Blue chip Masia player and couldn't bother to offer 3 more million.
Mind you might be a loss of City in terms of financials but looking at Barcas current CB situation it could mean a huge financial impact of they lose out in the CL early or even do shit in the league.

You overlooked his 3M annual salary

Garcia is on nowhere near 3m a year. Nowhere near. I bet he's not even on 1 million a year.

Ignoring your appalling lack of simple math skills, that would be a €5mill difference then since nobody knows what this 'more complicated bonus' would entail (Ballon D'Or probably according to your analysis).

And lets not forget that you're quoting yet another random Catalonian journalist.

Nope. Sucks for your club because your club wanted only Garcia. You guys have fucked your season trying to act like cheapstakes. This move doesn't affect City's final position at all. We have our players in. This isn't a shop, this is football where the final positions matter and your club is weaker now than it would have been with Garica and looking at their CBs it could be a long season.

He is rumoured to be on 10,000 a week which is 1/6th the amount he is brandishing about.

So why not just agree it & get him in the team ?

Could it be they don't think he will be worth the bonus money, in the future ?

We don't know what is going on behind the scenes, Stones under contract and wants to play for this club is a far better player than Garcia who wants to leave, yet Pep chooses Garcia first.

It is not a criticism of Pep, his judgement is all that counts.

You've proven perfectly there why the 'experts' on here have no idea!!
IF (as I don't know) Stones has outside stuff in his head when playing he's a liability...IF Garcia (despite wanting out) is professional and committed , then that's why Pep picks Garcia.....who is better/worse in our opinion is pointless with not knowing their current mindsets.
