Eric Garcia to Barcelona

One or two cules might not be happy about it .

Indeed.

It will without doubt be laughed off as an impossible nonsense rumour. And in some ways, fair enough.

But still, it will get entertaining if this link refuses to go away.

As a cup 1/2 full man i get to see a utd team with unmanageable debts, unaffordable wage bill with a team at least 9 top class players off being anywhere near competitive with rules put in place by them that now stop them from buying their way out of trouble with short term investment.

Exactly what I was thinking. We're in zero debt and have made a small profit 5 seasons on the trot. We spend what we can afford and have a structured wage plan in place, we've invested in the youth setup and that's starting to show results.

I know which setup looks more sustainable.

Hence the rumoured emergence of a Euro super league with a handful of "founder members" who will demand the lions share of funding and huge upfront tv rights.

Personally I wouldnt care if he never wears a City shirt again. He’s an ok player but not great. Dias and Laporte should be the quality we are aiming for and imo Garcia isnt close to that level.

The only thing that pisses me off (if you believe what you read in the press) is that in the last window we could have got £15/18m for him. In January it may be £7m.

Whoever it was in City’s management team that did the maths and figured out we were better off keeping him rather than take £18m needs a kick up the arse.

Again it wasnt £18m. Many of it were based on add ons about half of that.

Then stop believing what you read in the press, even better buy yourself a coffee.

One of the worst Centre backs I have ever seen for City , he would not get in a decent championship he ticks all the boxes you do not want in a centre half .

Pep, Barcelona and the Spanish National team manager all see something in him.
I'm not too sure what it is but time will tell.
Garcia is in the position he is now because Pep took a chance on him, it hasn't worked out so far but Pep is too stubborn to give up on his project.
He certainly is not up to Champions league standard but that's where he ended up at the end of last season.
Without Laporte or a Dias beside him it just isn't going to work.

 

[Tony Bite Your Legs Grealish]

Yeah , cannot believe we did not take £18 million euros for him , I be happy just to get shut of him for free but if we did get a fee it would be robbery on our behalf

Tea my friend. Coffee is for foreigners and pretentious yuppie types.
