Eric Garcia to Barcelona

[Coljj]

Let him go on a free next summer and send him back to the EDS.

Fuck Barcelona , hope their season implodes, they get turned over in La Liga and dont even make champs league, hope they fail to get past the group stages this season, hope their center backs all get injured for long term and then Eric with my best wishes can leave in 12 months time to europa league obscurity, and watching real or athletico pick up the titles
and icing on the cake, he wont get to play with his no doubt hero messi, cos as garcia walks in through the doo,r messi will be walking out the one named exit
am i being petty yes i am, but at 54 yrs old and suffered 40 odd years of clubs thinking they can boss little city about, im glad at last the club has told one of the big boys to royally fuck off

 

[willipp]

Didn’t he say he was happy to see his contract through?

Im sure he said he'd be happy to sit out his final year of his contract and wait. Moral of the story, be careful what you wish for.

Let's try to keep unnecessary personal abuse and name calling of other posters out of the thread. It adds nothing to the discussion.

"Generated anger in Eric Garcia and those close to him?" Well that rules out opposition forwards, I suppose

 

[St.Pauli support]

At least the young fella has a top professional attitude and will be ready to work for his blue shirt.

He had the wish to leave now, for several reasons it didn't happen and now we move on and try to win football matches.

Of course he won't be punished to care for his life and now he will be asked to do his duty according to his contract.

No childish punishments or bitter blood. Get a grip, folks.

 

[The slaughtered lamb]

No mystery, the club obviously felt the player was worth more for one season than Barca were offering. Whatever your personal thoughts on Garcia, you can’t blame them. Stones already injured and if that continues it would leave a new signing to shoulder most of the responsibility in that position for who knows how long.

So long as he is only played when absolutely on merit , what is the issue ?

His performances before the transfer stalemate were unacceptable and on that basis he doesn't deserve a place in the team.

Polo is good but he's an MD writer, I would take his commentary with a pinch of salt. Although it wouldn't surprise me if Eric was indeed angry - not so much directly personal but could understand he might feel like he has been used in a feud with Barca

I wouldn't even trust playing someone who doesn't want to be here.

Lack of motivation and hunger, and he isnt even an asset, so if the reason is squad depth then that was a poor choice from the club, Taylor would have been the smarter depth to develop.
