Eric Garcia to Barcelona

[Cheadle_hulmeBlue]

He wouldn’t, he’d be second choice right centre back, for a 19 year old to be doing that at a side challenging for premier and champions leagues thats good going. If he wants to go home to Barcelona fair enough but he ain’t going there to be fist choice with them either.

So he’d maybe start in cup games and the occasional prem game. Laporte in the other side starts pretty much every premier league game and champions league game, so if we buy someone just as good the same would apply in Garcia’s position

challenging for the premier league is great, but if you aren’t starting regular you would leave. Just like Sancho did. Game time is more important for Garcia right now

If it is, he sure as hell ain't getting it at Barca.

How much do you think Barca will pay for him?

 

[01cravend]

He'll end up at Barca at some point. We'll never get his best years so why delay the inevitable. Sell him to them for whatever Ake will cost.

I don't understand why Pep would be playing Garcia regular if he was leaving

Doing what’s best for the team - he’s seemingly lost all faith in Stones & Otamendi

If barca want him then they will have to pay up. I'm sure they could start spending some of the £800m loan they have took out.

why not? Piques getting older and getting a few injuries. They also aren’t going to be spending big on revamping their entire defence?

he’s also got the added bonus that hed be moving back to club he supports/ grew up around.

i don’t want Garcia to leave, but I can see why he would want to

Half a billion up front and he is yours.

I get the feeling it was part of a plan to convince him to stay and extend his contract. Maybe it didn’t work.
