24 - Eric García

[te amo barca]

Implying he's better than Dias, Stones and Laporte ... this guy is the 4th choice at best with or without the contract situation.

He is also Spain's starting CB at 20 years of age. Has some potential and worth a try as a free transfer.

 

[fergus90]

As a free transfer he's fine. But he's not getting close to that City 11 regardless of the contract situation. Doesn't necessarily mean it's a bad thing though as Pique wasn't getting close to United's 11 when we signed him either.

Not saying Garcia will be anything like Pique though by the way, but similar situation in that they just have much better defenders at their current club at the time.

Implying he's better than Dias, Stones and Laporte ... this guy is the 4th choice at best with or without the contract situation.

Implying he was preferred over Stones and at times Laporte last season.

Now you can discuss all you want if he's even close to being as good as those guys, but the truth is that I couldn't care less as I've made my own opinion about Eric Garcia clear multiple times on here.

Only bringing the facts on the table here. Take it however you want.

Feigning ignorance over the fact that Ake & Dias were acquired after the player made his intentions known he was open to a return via Oriol Domenech in June 2020

 

[Porque]

City were probably looking for a starting CB infront of Eric Garcia in all likelihood. But it is possible that the signing of Ake was to replace Eric Garcia as both a CB and a "homegrown" player allocation once it was known that Eric was si o si on leaving.

Barcelona still want to sign Eric Garc?a of Manchester City. But it's true that the numbers previously agreed on must be reformulated, to the surprise of the player and his agent. The defender believes that his sacrifice by coming for free deserves to be respected. [md]

Translation: Barca must low ball Garcia and Garcia does not want to be low balled.

All hail Coutinho, Griezmann and Covid for draining Barca dry.

He's free to go elsewhere.

Eric Garcia and de la Pena should have known that negotiating with a club without a President could have backfired on them. He's not some generational CB or a World Class CB we absolutely have to sign.

Offer whatever the club deem is possible and tell them to take it leave it.

 

[Porque]

Well, if Eric Garcia never left, he wouldn't have to worry about contract offers from the old board being reduced.

Balls in Garcia's court.

He can sign with Barcelona on what this board offers, or he could sign with one of the other clubs interested in him like

Villarreal
Valencia
Everton
Leeds United
Dortmund
Lille
Juventus (prob don't want them, but can't resist a free transfer like an old woman at a market. Nickname is Old Lady after all, and now you know why)
Sagan Tosu
Qatar Camels Fc

Not our loss if he doesn't want to come here.

 

[Raketa10]

Eric Garcia is edging ever closer to a departure from Manchester City, but Chelsea are now looking to hijack his expected move to FC Barcelona. (Sport)

It would be a dumb move to lose him since we can get him for free.

 

[FCBarca]

A non issue, Eric Garcia will return on a free transfer

 

[vuji_31]

Don't give a fu** about 65kg centerback.

He is Puig in CB position.

Hopefully it's not true about being unhappy with the new offer. Don't footballers realise (especially young ones) if you play well enough and work hard enough then you'll be given a much bigger contract. Players want everything for nothing it seems. Probably just media bs though. (hope)
