Eric Garcia to Barcelona

[Phil1]

If things were the other way around, you could offer 40M but Barca wouldn't sell one of their own cantera players who will likely lead the back line for a decade

Think I’ve just thrown up a bit in my mouth.

 

[simon23]

I've weighed in on this previously. His value jumped from 7-8 million once Barca entered into the possible frame in July

So are you saying he is worth less than 7-8m or that 7-8m is the price you woukd value him at? It sounds like you arexsaying city only increased tge asking price because it was Barca after him

Why is he at City then?

 

[Delphinho]

800m in debt but ffp don’t can’t touch them madness

Ffp only counts for non cartel clubs. Ffp was brought in to protect the likes of Barca, Real Madrid, Juve, Bayern, dippers, scum etc. The goal is only to stop the «smaller clubs» from growing

Fuck off with the cantera and cule shite. You’re constantly trying to portray Barca as Mecca for every football player, which is absolutely not the case. There’s a reason why so many of your cantera, cule (or whatever the fuck it is) players, including Garcia, is leaving you. Your club is relying on our fifth choice CB to come back and save your defence, that says it all

So @FCBarca he is young 19/20 gifted apparently homegrown( La Masia) and a full Spanish international and you don’t think he is worth 20 million
really ?

Think about him being a City kid at Barca wanting to come 'home'....they'd give him a free & pay and his airfare ....well that's near enough what they want us to do. Self entitled wankers.

With the state of Barca and their injuries he's of more need to them now than last summer. I'd screw every penny I could out of them, that's exactly what they'd do to us.

As a " big club " they are showing their operational expertise as nothing more than smoke and mirrors .

Pathetic management allied to poor transfer dealings demonstrated whilst showing their true colours as arrogant and deluded.

Garcia is not the messiah but they are in need of miracles.

 

[FCBarca]

Bartomeu’s mismanagement

 

[citizen_maine]

Bartomeu’s mismanagement

So basically, just as likely to happen again as not

 

[Barcon]

So basically, just as likely to happen again as not

I hope he goes to Real next.

 

[Neville Kneville]

Can't wait 'til he starts playing. 'Garcia dominates FC Neverheardofem, looks forward to Bayern clash...'

 

[FCBarca]

So basically, just as likely to happen again as not

Depending on who wins. Laporta, no chance

Market value is what it is, I only pointed out that from a Barca tinted view they would never even meet that valuation. Problem is City had overvalued him to begin with above & beyond his market value

I acknowledge my tinted glasses when it comes to buying back one of our own, you fail to acknowledge City overvalued him to begin with - likely by design

You keep on saying the same shit every week ! There is nothing like market value ! Sancho was valued at 120 million and the Rags dint pay that and could buy him. Same goes for Garcia. I just don't understand how you cannot come to terms with the fact that Garcia is a City player and it is City who decide his value at which they sell, just like Barcelona did for Messi. It could be 100 million if City wants. The player isn't contract to you or Barca, hence Barca or your valuation doesn't fucking come into the picture for City.

You voted Bartomeu in. Nothing to suggest you won't vote in someone else who'll mismanage in the future.

 

[oldius]

If Garcia has such a low value, why are Barcelona so keen on him?

 

[citizen_maine]

If Garcia has such a low value, why are Barcelona so keen on him?

Because if we'd agreed their valuation, they could afford him

 

[Colin Bells Boots]

" City over valued Garcia " - a current Spain International player aged 19 - says the fucking fanboy Swiss knowall .

Now I believe that Garcia is not good enough for City, but the international manager of Spain believes that he is good enough for the international team , but Barca will not pay £20 million for one of their " cules " !!

It's not only the management of Barca who are deluded is it ?

 

[Corky]

They had us over a barrel with García if he would not sign for anyone else. We either get scrap value in Jan or next to nothing in June when his contract ends.

I would have taken £10m and got shut before the transfer window than 360k euros in June/July.

I believe that City took the view that they would not let Barca dictate to them over the fee. Their decision and their money , so they obviously decided it was the right option for the club.

If he goes for free , so be it. He's not good enough for us, and I don't expect him to be at Barca that long either .

Cules and fanboys will be wanking themselves over his signing but who actually gives a fuck ?

 

[jrb]

FC Barca.

How much is your house worth?

I’ll give you 3/4 of the price.

Are you going to sell your house to me?

Are you f***!

Was Garcia only worth £19mill with a year left on his contract at the time?

Was he f***!

Hence why City didn’t sell him to Barcelona, and to the now ousted directors.

Principal aside, City didn't need the last of Barca’s transfer kitty. ;-)
