He barely played for City.
No doubt there are some question marks about him, but how about giving him a season first? There's plenty to learn about him.

Bravo. You made up your mind about him after a couple of games for City when he was 19 and a bad performance against Bilbao (on the back of a relatives death). I wish I had your quick wit and decisiveness.

You better get used to it then, because unless injured he will be playing and starting a lot of games.
At worst, will be one our top 3 CB in minutes

If we discard everyone who is bad vs high intensity pressing teams we might as well just not play any games 
Especially in defense our other options next to Araujo are old Pique, Lenglet, Umtiti and Mingueza...it's not like any of these pairings look too promising either.
We'll see how Garcia can develop, i don't think it's necessary to have two super speedy CBs but the defending and his strength are questionable as well. That sounds like Lenglet 2.0. and i'm sure nobody wants to see that, but it's not entirely impossible to improve it at his age.
Anyway i'll still rather see Garcia than these expensive bums so even if it doesn't work out in the long run it was worth the shot and likely a decent transfer. We'll need a top class defender anyway because from the current squad at least 3 of the CBs won't or shouldn't be here for much longer but for now all we can do is hope one of the young guys can make it.

Yeah, that's terrible. Kudos for him playing. Must have been hard.

It was his grandfather.
But still, hearing that right before the game starts can?t be good for anyone.

Welcome to Barcaforum where everyhing is seen from a black or white perspective.
People opinions about him will probably change again when they'll see another Lenglet special against Getafe.
Anyway, I've always expected Garcia to struggle against pacy strikers like Inaki and his brother. That's why I've suggested to start Araujo. I think Garcia-Araujo partnership looked ok but obviously they need more time to gel together. Once that happens they should be good against most La Liga teams. Also, don't blame him for a red. Don't know if Nico would score there but he probably saved us a point.

That shows the light-headed predisposition of the majority here...
Never fell for that 'mighty game' against Sociedad.
Everybody can look like a king when not pressed.
The real arena is when the modern intensity is applied
Tell you everything about the football knowledge of some here. There's no middle ground anymore. We only live in the extremes, patience is just a foreign word...

Extremes like you claiming Depay was over rated and not needed to being Barcas best forward after couple games?
