Manchester City FC can confirm that Eric Garcia and one member of staff have tested positive for COVID-19.
Both personnel will now observe a period of self-isolation in accordance with Premier League and UK Government protocol on quarantine.
Everyone at the Club wishes our colleagues a speedy recovery ahead of their return to work, training and competition.

No, it wasn't petty. Barcelona weren't prepared to pay City's asking price for Garcia. So City decided not to sell Garcia to Barcelona. End of! What don't you understand, and what can't you accept about that fact?

The world of football and the player transfer market does not revolve around Barcelona (anymore), no matter how much you convince yourself it still does.

That aside. Why should City do Barcelona any favours after what Barcelona have been up to and involved in behind the scenes with the other UEFA cartel clubs against City?

You should know by now? City do things quietly. But more importantly, 'they never forget'.

European Royalty(arf!), powerful people, club wealth, worldwide support have no bearing on City. Ask the owners of United, Liverpool and Arsenal. Sheikh Mansour, Khaldoon, Soriano, and City will take any club on if they try and destroy the City project.

In short, don't f*** with City! That includes Barca!

Ah but see he has tracked his value to 6m as far back as whatever and whenever.

Garcia is easily a 20m+ player, even in the last year of his contract with only one outcome and club as his destination.

Not because he is particularly good, but because the market is crap.

I have zero issue with us not selling him for cheap just because Barcelona wanted to be brash and petty. No matter how they try spin it or rewrite it, that is the bottom line, they were petty, and they didn't get their way.

@blue by birth

Out of curiosity or to judge how much of a fan I am? It's an illogical metric. Nevertheless, on average, 8-10 matches a season at Camp Nou

You lot have nice depth in central defense, no reason to bash Garcia - especially if all he wants to do is return home. I am pleased, as I have said many times before, because he is a leader and has a great future ahead of him

I agree with that, we had high hopes for him but are disappointed to see him go. We are now fortunate to have depth at centre back.

Firstly.

Hope Garcia makes a full recovery from COVID.

The lad hasn’t had much luck since trying to engineer a move to Barcelona. Getting injured, and now getting COVID.

He might realise in time that getting injured and Covid for City are both better than playing for Barce
 
As for how good he is, he's not all that in my opinion but with barca's style of play he'll look better over there than over here.

Garcia looks gifted to me - at the same time, we suddenly find ourselves loaded at CB. Trade Garcia for a good price and wish him well.
