Eric Garcia to Barcelona

[Woody135]

Still winds me up we didn't sell him. Awful business by the club. Makes no sense.

If sterling turns up to training tomorrow and says he wants to move to barca and barca offer below our valuation do we say fair enough and sell anyway? Or do we say no, if you want him you can pay what we think he is worth

City were refusing to let Barca dictate the terms . Barca were not offering what the club felt was the right price and terms and so were told to do without the player.

The money wasn't the important bit, it was to demonstrate that we would not be bullied by Barca or by Garcia refusing a new contract.

15m on the table for a player whos going to leave on a free is a good offer. I will never believe it is not.

Being bullied? we are having their pants down taking 15m off them instead now they are taking him on a free, he has been taking a place on the bench away from someone like Harwood-Bellis is enough of a reason that he should be binned.

Sterling got 6mths left on his contract has he?

By all accounts we were quibbling over a couple million, why did we bother is my issue here. He has been sat on the bench taking a space away from someone who actually wants to be here and looks like he will be for another 6months. Its embarassing.

I think he will leave in Janauary. Just hope he doesn’t start the quarter final against Arsenal.

They offered 7 mil up front. Maybe now they will come groveling with the full 15.

the offer was 10 mil now + 10 mil impossible add ons (CL win, La liga win etc)
We wanted 15 mil now + 3 mil easy add ons

The club's not a selling one and if you want one of our players you pay the price or wait for the contract to end.

I find it unlikely he will move in January when he can arrive for free in 6 months

Todibo is more likely to return in January - Umtiti, Araujo, Mingueza, Lenglet and Todibo until June

 

[Centurions]

Or do a swap for one of their players?

Anyone in mind?

;)





I will laugh myself silly if we do a straight swap, the piss boiling from every single person on the planet would be hilarious and I can only imagine the looks on Klopp or Ole s face when asked.

15m for a player that shite ? no chance .

They haven't got a penny, they won't be offering anything in Jan except to take his wages of our books. It was a really stupid move by the club and I rarely criticise them over transfers.

How was it awful. They were offering way below the clubs asking price, and at the time we were short on CBs.
