That's the point i was trying to make in my previous post. We do make a bit on the commercial side with the brahim sale and Garcia's inevitable sale now. (what Chelsea's academy was famous for)

It's pretty simple, if not sad, the sporting direction under this board is an abomination - particularly in terms of La Masia, it has been decimated over the past decade. Eric leaving was my 2nd most disappointing cantera loss, the first being Grimaldo
I can't envision the cost being more than 10M, nor should it be considering he was developed primarily at Barca
City won't sell for 10M, we will keep him for another season at that price.

What!!! Not made for the prem, good passer that’s about it.No he is not. Garcia’s been more impressive in 6 month than Stones has in 4 years. Anyone who’s not Stewie Wonder can see his huge potential and class. He is so talented.
This is awful news.
We'll play him Tomorrow hoping for that 1 year injury!!Will be interesting... After all he started Sane in the community shield

Hope he's not either because he isn't ready to first choice at Barcelona any more than he was ready to be first choice with us.
Fully agreed. He's a project and needs time and patience. Will he get that there? Or will they write him off the second he inevitably fucks up?

You won’t be getting him for 10m, that much is certain.It's pretty simple, if not sad, the sporting direction under this board is an abomination - particularly in terms of La Masia, it has been decimated over the past decade.

If this was always his intention he’s going to cost your club millions which could have been saved. Although, now he can command a much higher wage compared to the alternative had he stayed in the first place.

Have you watched a single game he played? His vision, tackles, interceptions. He is three levels above John Stones. They can’t even compare. Why else would Pep start him ahead of a fit Stones? He made the backline better immediately.
It's true. I don't know you but whatever you do for a living, wherever you live in the world, it's all irrelevant. If City came knocking for your services and your family were all in Manchester, you'd jump at the opportunity, every single one of us would in that situation. Loyalty is a lovely trait but family, friends and your own life comes before a football club.I got called a spoilt child for saying this just two days ago...
You can get angry and act betrayed but it's a job, it's a game of football. You care because it's City just like I do but it doesn't change anything. Anyone getting angry at a player leaving to join his boyhood club is pathetic and acting like a spoilt child.

I feel some players are just using City and Pep to improve and then they fck off. It pisses me off.
We’ve done all the hardwork with Garcia the past three years and now Barcelona will simply swoop in and get a great defender for pocketchange.
In this case, they'll get a free hole in defence.
