24 - Eric García

[Richard.H]

Yes, he could be ok i defensive team, but we still use high line, he is dreadful for that...but my main problem and question is: we all knew that? What did our scouts saw?

It's very clear since 19/20 the club has absolutely no plan or logic. I am willing to bet a large sum of money that a big reason why we signed him is because he's Catalan and played under Pep.

 

[behindbrowneyes]

What did our scouts saw?

That he is a free agent and played in our youth.

 

[vuji_31]

Mighty barca dna.

 

[Catta]

Mingueza looks like Puyol compared to this guy.

They saw a free player with some qualities (even if those are doubled by some humongous flaws). Free players are often like finding money on the streets. You can find a tenner, or a 20 dollar bill, but almost never a briefcase filled with cash.

At this rate in which he has played 8 official games and has gotten 2 red cards, we should really sell him in January and bring in Comas from the B team as a replacement. He surely can't be as bad as Garcia.

True, but our defenders tend to get carded as they're always exposed. Pique would've gotten a second yellow if he wasn't subbed, and I'm sure Mingueza would easily get carded too if he's completely exposed. Not excusing Garcia, but we have a strong problem with our defense.

There is still a salary to offer to the player not to mention other free CB's you can scout. If anything you could even play B team CB's and they still would be about same level as Garcia. No salary to worry about there. There is no clear plan with current Barca

 

[jamrock]

Best midfielder in the world.

 

[pregra]

That stepover and touch from the Benfica player was almost like it went in slow motion. Still Garcia managed to be even slower.

You are living in a wealthy country. I usually only find cents.

 

[mc_lovin]

Personally, I am still happy we got him.

Good point.

 

[Porque]

I once found Jerome Boateng.

 

[vuji_31]

Saw it in 2020 when he was playing for spain.

Slow,small and weak.

Destroyed by kosovo players.
