Eric Garcia to Barcelona

[Colin Bells Boots]

I think Stuart Brennan has it right here https://www.manchestereveningnews.c...s/man-city-barcelona-garcia-transfer-19058491 A lot of the anti Garcia bile on here doesn't take into account that he is now a senior Spanish international at 19.

And neither does Barca's valuation , hence the issue .

I think it's time that these clubs who have built their reputation only by living beyond their means learnt that they can't have everything their own way for ever. Worth £15m to teach them that times are changing.

I am happy we prefer to keep him than selling him for some crap money. If Barcelona claimed he was so good and wanted him so much, they didn't show it with their Wenger-like offers. The season is long with four competitions, he'll definitely contribute. And even if he changes his mind and decide to sign a new contract, even better.

Barca say we should have sold as there was only £2 million difference but it works both ways. If the difference was so slight then Barca could have paid the extra 2 and he would be theirs now.

Try again in January and bring Messi.

Given he is unlikely to be a regular first teamer wonder if he will struggle to retain his international place.

I'd imagine he will do mate, but then again he's the second coming of Puyol apparently. If Barca rated him so highly they'd have offered whatever it took to get him in, especially as they're so short at the back. I'm not having that they didn't go higher as that was his market value with 1 year left as claimed by FCBarca.

How much is 1 Eric Garcia worth with 1 year left on his contract? The answer is however much his current employers thinks he is worth, Barca can't possibly know how much he's worth. Good on City for their stance on this.

Because the arrogance of the Barca officials matches that of their cules, and therefore everybody is expected to do exactly as they wish ?

Spot on for me!!

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

By barca.

Loan him to Bournemouth and get Josh King in return?

I remember when messi was close to joining city , Garcia said
“It is true I have told the club I do not intend to extend my contract beyond 2021,” he explained in an interview with Marca.

“But I will return to Manchester when I am finished on international duty with Spain, and I am focused on next season with City.”

Now he is "angry"(if reports are true) . Lolll. He can sulk for all we care. He is 19 years of age and bang average player that too and he wants everything to go his way.
