Where did he say they were going into administration you SWISS numpty? The good thing about Garcia is he can play the ball around when (maybe more if than when these days) you are battering a shit side, but watch out when you need to defend against a decent side.

Think the bubble is starting to deflate on that one, hence the 800m euro loan, doesn’t sound like a club living within its means to me.

Well that was a lot of bubble bursting over the last couple of pages.

I just love the way you don’t bother reading what you are replying to. He didn’t say that.

Everybody knows that Barcelona and Real Madrid, two cheeks of the same arse, are boom and bust clubs. They consistently break transfer records and pay too high wages knowing they’ll get bailed out. In Real’s case by the Spanish government or the local Madrid authority. It would be a bit like us City fans paying taxes to prop up Manchester United for those Atleti fans.

You’ll then have some idiot from La Liga such as Tebas claiming Manchester City are cheats with absolutely no sense of irony or self awareness lol.

Enjoy your free signing and upcoming bail out whilst claiming the moral high ground over other clubs. I’m sure there’s a bright future enabling you to brainwash more Swiss mug tourists.

Players come and go - I won't miss Garcia, too slow for my liking and seemed to lack positional sense.
No axe to grind with him, more of an axe to grind with the club - we should have accepted what was on offer in the summer and had done with it then.

Agree entirely.

When Garcia was playing EDS we all had high hopes given his maturity etc but once he started getting first team games I think we all saw his flaws.

I don’t think you necessarily need to be the quickest to be a top centre half but when you’re also too short and have a habit of making a few misplaced passes, he was never going to make it.

no hard feelings that he wants to leave, he’s a Spanish lad with the option of being 1st choice at Barca or 5th choice at City - it’s a no brainier for the kid.

my only gripe is pep’s persistence in playing him after his head had been turned but that’s not Garcia’s fault.

good luck to him but hopefully has a stinker if he has to face us in future

Agree completely.
I was delighted to see a youngster stepping in at the end of last season as we were struggling with our centre halves, off form or injured.

He didn't play as well as I hoped and certainly not good enough now that we have Dias and Ake brought in to complement a resurgent Stones and a fit Laporte.

Pep is continuing with him even though he wants to leave at the nearest opportunity.
Mezut Ozil and Danny Rose, two experienced premier league players, weren't showing full commitment to their clubs and are now passing the time binging on box sets on Netflix.
Neither player were submitted to Premier league.

If Garcia wants to leave, take what we can and promote THB to 5th centre half.

Size is no protection... plenty of large corporations get into financial difficulty when they overstretch themselves and see income plummet just when they need to invest. Barca may have huge income but you have no cash reserves... just massive liabilities.
